The Challenge

The House Is the Hardest Part of a Divorce to Resolve

The house is often the largest shared asset in a divorce – and the hardest to resolve. A traditional listing adds months of uncertainty on top of everything else you're already managing:

  • Coordinating showings while living separately (or together, uncomfortably)
  • Negotiating repairs between two parties who aren't agreeing on much
  • Waiting for offers while legal fees and carrying costs pile up
  • Risking a buyer backing out and starting over
9878; California is a community property state – the equity is typically split 50/50 by law.

The longer the house sits unsold, the more complicated everything gets.

The Solution

A Cash Sale Takes the House Off the Table – Quickly

A cash sale removes the house from the equation – fast.

  • Close in as few as 14 days or set a date that works with your settlement timeline
  • No repairs or prep work we buy the home in its current condition, no negotiations over who fixes what
  • No contingencies our offer doesn't depend on financing, no last-minute deal collapses
  • Clean proceeds to split cash at closing, divided per your agreement or court order
  • We work with attorneys if your attorney needs to be involved in closing, we accommodate that

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do both spouses need to agree to sell? +
In most cases, yes – both parties on title need to sign. But we can work with one spouse to get the process started, and coordinate with your attorneys to get both signatures at closing.
Can you close before our divorce is finalized? +
Yes. Many sellers close the house sale before the divorce is finalized. The proceeds are held in escrow and distributed according to your agreement or court order.
What if my spouse is delaying or uncooperative? +
We can work around complex situations. If there’s a court order requiring the sale, that simplifies things. Talk to us – we’ve worked through difficult situations before.
Will you work directly with our divorce attorneys? +
Yes. We’re comfortable coordinating with legal counsel on both sides. If your attorney needs to review closing documents, we accommodate that.
Do you buy homes with equity issues? +
Yes. Whether there’s substantial equity to split or the home is underwater, we can make an offer and structure the close to fit your situation.
