Can one spouse sell without the other?

If both are on the deed, no — both signatures are required. If only one is on title the answer depends on your state and on any court order in place, which is a question for your attorney.

Can proceeds be split at closing?

Yes. The title company can disburse to each party separately per your written agreement or the court's order, so the money does not have to pass through one person's hands.

What if the court has not decided anything yet?

You can still get an offer. Many people want a real number in hand precisely because the settlement negotiation needs one, and the offer costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Selling a House During Divorce

For a split that needs a clean, fast sale.

A bright empty living room prepared for a move

A divorce sale needs two things a listing rarely gives: a date both parties can plan around, and a number nobody can argue is being manipulated. A written cash offer with the comps attached gives both attorneys something concrete, and a fixed closing date lets the settlement be finalized.

A date you can both count on is worth more than a maybe

In a divorce the house is usually the largest single asset and the last thing keeping two people financially entangled. A listing gives you a price range and an unknown closing date; a cash sale gives you a specific number and a specific day. When a settlement or a court date depends on the house being resolved, that certainty is often worth more than the last few percent of price.

Both signatures, one number

If both names are on the deed, both have to sign. We will send the same written offer to both parties and to both attorneys at the same time, so nobody is negotiating through the other person. If you are not on speaking terms, we can deal with each side or with counsel separately — that is normal and it does not slow anything down.

Nobody has to stage it or host showings

Open houses are difficult when one person has moved out, or when neither wants the other walking through. We buy as-is and we do not need showings, so the house stays private while it sells.

We are a cash buyer, not attorneys or accountants. Nothing here is legal or tax advice — for a foreclosure, probate or divorce matter, talk to your attorney too.
