What To Remember When Selling A Home

Every divorce is different – some couples decide to sell their homes and move on, while others buy out their former spouse’s share of the property. Regardless of your circumstances, it’s important to treat the entire selling process as a business transaction to eliminate any potential issues. Here are a few other factors to keep in mind.

1
Sell for the right reasons
Selling a home and getting a divorce are both very emotional processes – which means it’s easy to get caught up and make some wrong decisions. Before you work out a deal with your former spouse, be sure you’re selling for the right reasons…and not out of spite.
2
Work out a deal on your own
If possible, work with your former spouse to draft a deal. If neither of you plan on staying in the home, decide how you’ll split the profits of the sale. Sometimes, if one spouse was paying more than the other, a 50/50 split may not be preferable.
3
Get everything in writing
Even if your breakup is amicable, you should always get everything in writing…and make extra copies of important paperwork. You can never be too careful, so keep track of everything from who’s paying the rest of the mortgage to who’s getting the couch!
4
Get you finances in order
Divorce will have a huge impact on your finances…and selling your home will, too. Before anything is finalized, be sure to sit down with your attorney and/or financial advisor to discuss all of your options. You may also have to liquidate some of your assets to cover expenses.
5
Always work with a Real Estate Agent & an Attorney
Now more than ever, it’s crucial to work with seasoned professionals to ensure that the sale of your home and divorce go smoothly. Your agent can help you navigate every step of the selling process…and they might be able to recommend a local attorney as well.
