Divorce is never easy, but the pain and upheaval which often accompanies divorce may be minimized by surrounding the divorcing couple with knowledgeable and understanding real estate professionals that are certified in divorce real estate. These specialized divorce professionals offer a comprehensive service tailored to meet the unique needs of their divorcing clientele. These real estate professionals examine the legal, financial and emotional interaction between the disposition of the family home. They dive into issues of marital versus separate property, who holds property title, property valuation, calculation of current and future house equity, post-divorce residence, all with a focus of professional cooperation for mutual gain.
 
 

The divorcing sellers’ challenge can be maintaining a logical and objective approach to the process of selling the home. A proactive posture must be taken through the process, taking steps to alleviate misunderstandings and mitigate any potential issues before the home is listed for sale. Unfortunately, the sale of the marital home is an inevitable end for some people. These RCS-D™ Real Estate Agents live by the creed and give clients this advice, “Protect yourself and your financial future, make sure you know what you owe, what you own, what you are getting into, what you are getting out of, and most importantly – what you may be getting stuck with … before it’s too late.”
