Selling a House During a Divorce in MetroWest
Selling a home when two people have to agree, with clear communication to both.
Selling a house during a divorce: the same facts for both owners
Two owners deciding what happens to one house need the same facts. Selling a house during a divorce in MetroWest goes better when the price, the costs and the plan are on paper where both of you can see them.
I'm Ann Atamian with Gibson Sotheby's International Realty. I'm not an attorney, and I don't give legal advice. The terms of your divorce, including whether and when the house is sold, belong to you and your attorneys. My part is the real estate.
Numbers both owners can see
Every cost is itemized and on the table before anyone signs anything. The net sheet shows a realistic sale price, each cost line, the mortgage payoff and what remains, so the conversation starts from the same figures instead of two different guesses.
The sales behind my market analysis are public record. I show which ones I used and why, so each owner can follow how I reached the number. Here is how I value a home.
Selling a House During a Divorce in MetroWest
A steady, well-run sale
I stage most of my listings myself, at no extra charge, which helps when a house is partly furnished or one owner has already moved out. I believe in being there for showings and inspections, and the weekly update with the numbers and the feedback after showings keeps the sale working from shared information.
Guide, not push. My job is a clean, well-run sale on the timeline your agreement sets.
Where I sell, and how to start
I sell homes in Southborough, in Framingham by neighborhood, and in the MetroWest towns around them. Read about selling a home during a divorce in Southborough and selling a home during a divorce in Framingham, and see how I run the sale itself in the Campaign step of my process.
When you and your attorney are ready, start with a no-pressure conversation. Set up a time to talk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we both have to agree to list the house?
That is a question for your attorneys, because it depends on how the home is owned and what your agreement says. I work from whatever they set.
How is the list price decided?
From a market analysis of recent comparable sales. Those sales are public, and I show which ones I used and why.
Who pays the costs of selling?
Your agreement and your attorneys decide how costs and proceeds are split. I make sure every cost is itemized before anyone signs, so the numbers are clear.
