Selling your house can be difficult to do when going through a divorce. It is emotionally and financially draining for you and those involved, but did you know that selling your house may benefit you and help you pay for the divorce?
If you are interested in liquidating your assets prior to divorce, then keep reading. We will go over everything you need to do to get your house sold.
Selling Your House during a Divorce
Selling your house during a divorce is more complicated than selling before you start the process because of the Standard Family Law Restraining Orders that go into effect as soon as the divorce petition is filed.
Here are some of the stipulations from Farzad Lawwhen trying to sell your home while going through a divorce.
The stipulation and order to sell the house during a divorce stipulation means agreement. Therefore, a stipulation and order is an agreement that becomes a court order. Possibly the easiest way to sell the house during a divorce is through a written and signed agreement between the spouses that then becomes a court order. Effective legal representation is important. Speak to your family law attorney about the terms that fit your needs.
Some of those may be the following:
Will the selection of the real estate professional be a mutual one? Will one spouse provide the other with a list to choose from or will there be another way to choose one?
How will the price be set? Will it be up to the real estate professional subject to the approval of the spouses?
How will the price be reduced, if necessary?
Will one spouse be the lead in all communications with the real estate professional or will every discussion and decision have to go through both spouses?
Will both spouses need to formally approve all offers, counteroffers, and acceptances?
Which spouse will ensure the home is ready for showing to prospective buyers? Will the home be shown even if neither spouse is present?
Is there an agreed dollar amount that, if offered, will result in an acceptance of an offer or will the spouses have the ability to negotiate any price?
Are there liens or encumbrances other than the mortgage that needs to be paid from the sale proceeds? Are they undisputed as a community or separate property and, therefore, from whose share they will be paid?
What will happen to the sale proceeds? Will it be distributed to the parties, in whole or in part? Will it be characterized in the stipulation and order as community property, separate property or will that characterization be reserved for the court to determine later?
Are there reimbursement claims by either spouse, such as one resulting from a separate property down payment that can lead to Family Code 2640 claims?”
These are all things that will need to be sorted out before being able to sell your house. And if you are going through a divorce, then this can be not only emotionally overwhelming, but expensive as well. You already have to pay for your divorce so you probably don’t want to pay for a lawyer to sell your house on top of everything else. So what are your options?
Sell Your House before Filing for the Divorce
If you can, sell your house before filing for the divorce. Once you have made the decision to get a divorce you probably don’t want to wait the time it takes to sell your home on your own or with a realtor.

After Peter got things set up and I work with Baeza and she was very open to my problems or issues and took care of those almost immediately things were taken care of as we got closer to closing there was some unusual things happening and she settled that out and it didn't cost me anything out of the pocket just like they said. She definitely has the knowledge and understanding of what's going on with the program and how it works and how to reply to different real estate agents.
The experience with Fair Deal was great! Everything on your end was awesome! You guys did everything you said you were going to do. You made our move super easy! I would use your company again in a second! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
From the first call this company was caring, respectful, and fair. Everyone I dealt with was helpful and pleasant. Shared ideas to bring my 70 yr old childhood home back to its “glory days”! It was difficult for me to make this move, but knowing my home was in good hands made it easier! I recommend them 100%!
Thank you. I really enjoyed working with you. The entire process went even smoother than I could have imagined. Everyone I had contact with was extremely helpful.I would definitely recommend your services to people in similar situations.
I love how fast the process was to sell my house. Beza Bajo was awesome to work with and helped me through a rather easy process. I would recommend her and Fair Deal if you want to sell your house fast. Alan Gross was very helpful regarding the beginning of the process.
As a disabled combat veteran it's very hard for me to do certain things. Fair deal home buyers helped me sell my home seamlessly. They were there every step of the way and the best part was it was all over telephone or computer. I highly recommend this company to anyone thinking of the next step.
I sold my home with Fair Deal Home Buyers and the entire process took about 2 1/2 months. Shan was wonderful to work with and she took the time to answer all of my questions and she really listened to my requests. I would definitely work with Fair Deal again in the future. They delivered what they promised me and made the process as stress free as possible.
Great people. Great service.I chose FDHB from 4 companies I contacted. Their offer seemed fair and Wende sold their service. After that, I dealt with several other representatives. All fantastic people. For most of the business until closing, I dealt with Shan. She kept me up to date by text, email and phone. Unfortunately, right before the closing, a critical piece of information was omitted in the transfer to the closing office. That left me feeling like I was sold a bitter pill. I communicated this with Shan, it was discussed with her team and a fair resolution was agreed upon. It’s easy to rate a company high when all goes well but a company shows their colors when things don’t go as well as planned. FDHB really put an exclamation point on the FAIR DEAL. I would do business with them again because they really care about their client’s experience and earned my trust. Shan, you are a rock star!!
The whole process of the sale of our house was handled very professionaly. My anxiety was taken care of by their professional ethics and attention to my needs and concerns. Thank you once again...
I loved my experience with this company. They offered me a fair price and Beza was there for any questions or help I needed. The process was fast and trouble free. I would recommend this company for selling your home quickly and hassle free.
I don't normally do reviews, but I thought I would as another way to show my appreciation. I feel that I really did get a fair deal for my house sale. I had a lot of different things affecting my situation which caused some holdups and indecision on my end. Peter was great, always understanding and never pushy about anything. Even when I almost backed out very close to closing. The few times they had to come through the house for inspection we're quick and professional. I truly recommend this group if you find yourself wanting to sell your house quickly and painlessly. In my experience they are good people and they do their job well.Kevin Laufenberg
The experience was awesome. The whole process took a month. The staff at Fair Deal Home Buyers LLC did a great job of keeping us update on the process. If I ever needed to do this process again I would contact them again.
We just closed our house today! Our family lived in the house for 15 years and had a great life for our boys growing up. The last few years though the house started to show its age. I spent many sleepless nights worrying about what to do. We did not have the money for repairs. I contacted Fair Deal and within days they met with me, ( even though we lived in SW Wisconsin)and offered me a very fair price that day. I accepted and the wheels started rolling. My main contact was Beza. She was always there for questions and explained to me what was going on and why. She is the best as well as Jackie who was very easy to work with. I highly recommend Fair Deals. They took care of everything and would let me know what I needed to do. Tonight is the first time in a long time that I can just relax. Thanks again!
