Best way to handle divorce sales

What happens when a house is no longer a home? In the case of divorce, handling the sale of the family home can be stressful, but it does not have to be. We have developed a method that helps both parties make a graceful exit.  

Number is communication. It is always our goal to communicate with both parties simultaneously if both sellers agree. Whether that be conference calls to review offers, a joint text string, or emails to ensure everyone is updated and on the same page at the same time. Communicating simultaneously helps reduce miscommunication or the feeling that the agent is partial to one spouse. We are all on the same team. 

Number two is presentation. When your house is on the market, agents will notice if there are two names on the title but only one spouse living in the house. We don’t want agents and their buyers to think you are in a desperate situation or that they have any negotiating power. So, we will stage your home to appear that both spouses live together. 

Why is this important to us? Well, that goes to our most important principle of all. 

Number three is confidentiality. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for agents to share every nitty gritty detail of their clients' divorce with other agents. We will not be telling anyone that you are divorcing. Why? Because it is no one's business. When your noisy neighbor asks why you are moving, we give them the same answer we give everyone.  “They have loved this house; it no longer fits their lifestyle.” We believe in discretion, and treat your situation with the same respect we would want if going through it ourselves.  

If you need to make a graceful exit, reach out for a confidential conversation.
