Framingham · Divorce Sale
A divorce home sale in Framingham works best when every number is in plain view
Selling a home when two people have to agree, with clear communication to both.
Two owners, one house, one set of numbers
A divorce home sale in Framingham has two owners, often two attorneys, and a lot riding on numbers everyone can trust. My part is narrow and important: price the house well, prepare it, market it, and show the costs of selling plainly.
Nothing here is legal advice. How the proceeds are divided, who stays in the house until it sells and what the timeline looks like are questions for your attorneys and, where it applies, the court. Talk to your attorney before you sign anything with anyone, including me.
Set up a private conversation
A value both owners can read
There are no secrets in real estate. Recent sales are public, and what you pay an agent for is the interpretation. In Framingham that interpretation matters, because different parts of the city feel completely different. A home near the Commuter Rail and a home in North Framingham near the open space are not compared to the same sales, and the reasons should be written down.
I explain which sales I used and why, so the number is something you can both look at, not something you have to take on faith. You can read more in how I value a Framingham home.

Every cost on the table
Before anything is signed, every cost of selling is itemized: my fee, the attorney costs on the sale, the work to get the house ready, and the rest. The net sheet shows what the sale is expected to leave, in a plain document your attorneys can work from. Taxes on the sale are a question for your CPA. See how I set the price and protect your equity.
Preparing a house while life is in motion
A house sold during a divorce may be half packed, and one owner may already have moved out. I stage most of my listings myself, at no extra charge, and we decide what the house needs to show well and what to skip. Buyers respond to the house they see, not the circumstances behind it.
In Framingham, the location story often sets one house apart from another: the Mass Pike and Route 30 for drivers, the train for Boston, Shoppers World and the Route 9 corridor for errands, Lake Cochituate and Callahan State Park for weekends. The More Eyes Marketing Plan tells that story. Know the buyer, market the home, follow the interest. The campaign is laid out in how my marketing campaign runs.
You get weekly updates with the numbers and feedback after showings.
