For homeowners going through a divorce
What happens to the house, in plain terms.
You don't have to list it, repair it, or keep negotiating with your ex about showings. Here's how a direct sale actually works.
What happens to the house?
If a sale or refinance between you and your co-owner isn't working, we can purchase the property (or, in some cases, one spouse's interest in it) directly, so it stops being something the two of you have to manage together.
How fast is this?
Timelines vary by property and case, but a typical closing is measured in weeks, not months, and can be scheduled around your case rather than a buyer's mortgage approval.
Do I have to talk to my ex about this?
Not directly. Communication usually runs through your attorneys, or through us and your attorney if you're working without one. We don't insert ourselves into the relationship between you and your co-owner.
Is this a scam?
A fair question, and one worth asking of anyone who offers to buy your house. We put every offer in writing, we're happy to work alongside your attorney, and we never ask you to sign anything without time to review it — with a lawyer, if you'd like one.
What it takes to get started
- A short conversation about the property and where the case stands.
- A walkthrough or basic assessment of the property's condition.
- A written offer for you and your attorney to review — no pressure to respond immediately.
- If you move forward, a closing date that works with your case timeline.
No pressure, no scripts
This is not a countdown-timer, sign-today kind of offer. Take it to your attorney. Compare it to your other options. If it's not the right fit, we'd rather you know that clearly than feel pushed into it.
