What should you know about selling a home during divorce?
Selling a home during divorce requires careful coordination, legal clarity, and emotional awareness. With the support of Anthony Guetzoian, REALTOR, couples in Los Angeles and Ventura County can navigate the process fairly, efficiently, and with as little added stress as possible.
Step 1: Determine Legal Authority to Sell
Before listing, ensure both parties agree—or that the court authorizes the sale.
Options:
- Mutual Agreement: Both spouses cooperate and sign off
- Court-Ordered Sale: When parties can’t agree
- Buyout Arrangement: One spouse buys out the other’s share
Anthony works closely with divorce attorneys to ensure timing and documentation align with court requirements.
Step 2: Establish the Property’s Market Value
Get an accurate, unbiased valuation through:
- A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)
- Recent neighborhood sales
- Third-party appraisals, if needed
Anthony Guetzoian offers transparent, data-backed pricing strategies to help both parties feel confident in the process.
Step 3: Decide How to Prepare the Home
Agree on whether to:
- Sell as-is
- Make minor updates or staging investments
- Divide prep costs equally or from proceeds
Anthony helps mediate these conversations and recommends updates only when they bring a measurable return.
Step 4: List the Home and Market It Fairly
Anthony’s approach keeps both parties informed at every stage.
What He Provides:
- Weekly showing updates and buyer feedback
- Fair, balanced representation
- A single point of communication to reduce friction
He also ensures the home is marketed widely and neutrally to maximize buyer interest.
Step 5: Review Offers and Finalize the Sale
Anthony walks both parties through each offer’s pros and cons, including:
- Sale price
- Contingencies
- Closing timeline
He coordinates with attorneys and escrow officers to ensure both parties’ interests are protected.
What Happens to the Proceeds?
This is typically resolved through the divorce agreement or court order.
Options Include:
- 50/50 split of net proceeds
- Payoffs for joint debts
- Allocations based on each party’s financial contribution
Anthony provides a clear net sheet so both parties know what to expect.
