Divorce
Selling a luxury home in a divorce.
One neutral agent, one written value and a plan both spouses and both attorneys can read.
A live person answers. Not a robot, not a phone tree.
Concept photography: AI-generated illustrative imagery, not a property listing.
Get one written value both sides accept. Then decide: sell and split, or one spouse buys the other out and refinances. The value, the loan balance and the costs of sale set the buyout number.
One agent, both spouses.
Every email goes to both spouses, and to both attorneys.
One written price.
A Smart Pricing Report with the comps, shared with both sides.
The math, in writing.
Value minus the loan, minus the costs of sale, split by the agreement.
Two new homes.
Each spouse buys a next home. We handle both purchases.
What are the options for the house?
- Sell and split. List the home, pay off the loan, divide the proceeds by the agreement or the court order.
- Buyout. One spouse keeps the home and refinances to take the other off the loan.
- Keep it jointly for now. Both stay on the loan until a set date, then sell. Put the date in writing.
- Court-ordered sale. The court sets the terms. We follow the order to the letter.
How is a luxury home valued in a divorce?
- Comparable sales. Sold homes from the last six months, adjusted for lot, size and finish.
- One report for both. The same report goes to both spouses and both attorneys.
- Appraisal when needed. Attorneys order a formal appraisal for court. The report prepares both sides for it.
- Costs of sale. Commission, title, taxes and repairs come off the top.
We are real estate agents, not attorneys or tax advisors. Talk to your attorney and CPA before you sign.
Quick answers
Questions, answered.
Do we both have to sign the listing?
Yes, when both spouses are on title. A court order can change that; follow your attorney.
