Let me start off by saying we understand this is a difficult time and no two divorces are the same. Some may be “easier” than others, but they can all be difficult emotionally, physically, and financially.
I’ve been through a divorce of my own and owned a home, so I can relate. For anyone that has not gone through one I do not feel they can truly understand what you’ve gone through. I can help from start to finish, make things as easy as possible, and focus on the next chapter of your life. Please read on and reach out with any questions.
A divorce can be a challenging situation: it’s complicated, it’s expensive, it’s time-consuming, and emotions are running high. And in all that effort you also need to sell your house, so that you can split the value of any equity in the house and put it all behind you. But what if your house doesn’t sell? If you’re going through a divorce and wondering, “what if my house won’t sell during a divorce?”
What Are The Reasons Your House Doesn’t Sell?
Unfortunately, there are many reasons your home might not sell. Some of the reasons are related to the normal market conditions (and they might be present even if you weren’t going through a divorce). But there might be additional reasons that your house doesn’t sell — for example, maybe you have a complicated divorce or there’s a lot of conflict between each party in the divorce and this makes it too difficult for the buyer to negotiate on the sale of the property.
This Delay Adds To The Problem!
If the home is not selling as quickly as you’d like, this just adds to the problem and it ultimately ends up costing you more — in bills and taxes and mortgage payments, as well as in additional attorney’s fees.
Simply put, you might be hoping to get a high price for your house but your divorce could actually be scaring people away and costing you money.
Fortunately, there’s another option…
Strategy For Divorce Houses: Sell To A House-Buying Company
More than just a company. I have the experience, the firsthand experience! – John Woodman
Here’s an effective strategy for people who are trying to sell their divorce house — instead of listing the house with a realtor, sell the house directly to a real estate buying firm like us here at Deal Edge Properties. As real estate buyers, we may not always be able to pay the market price for a house… but many divorcing people realize that holding out for a higher price can actually be a costly strategy once you factor in the cost of repairing the property, the carrying costs while you wait weeks or months for an agent to find a buyer, and then the agent’s commission. Have we mentioned the potential burden of showings?
If you’re wondering, “what if my home won’t sell during a divorce?” and if you want to sell your home, a real estate buying firm like ours is the fastest and simplest choice to get the property out of the middle of your divorce, give you money for it, and allow you to wrap up this portion of the divorce proceedings. Do it on YOUR schedule!
