The Divorce Real Estate Sales Experts

Divorce is a challenging time and often leads to the necessity of selling property; whether it is one home or multiple properties. We are here to help guide you seamlessly through the process. We encourage you to reach out to us to discuss your needs and your timeline. We can discuss options as a group or individually if group discussion is not an option. We understand the complexities involved and will do what is necessary to create a stress-free process and manage it on your behalf.

THE FIRST STEPS IN A DIVORCE SALE

Contact A DIVORCE REALTOR

When a couple gets divorced and owns one or more properties, more often than not the properties will be listed and sold. If your case goes to trial a timeline for the sale may also be ordered and is often 90-120 days. During our initial discussion, I will provide insight to help you properly prepare the property for market to obtain the absolute best price in whatever time frame we have to work with. Regardless of how contentious the divorce may be, the proceeds from the sale are often distributed between both parties and my role is to help put as much money in your pocket as possible.

Choosing An Agent

When choosing your Realtor, it is vital to select an experienced divorce agent who can be a true neutral third party. I have helped many divorcing couples and am experienced and familiar with divorce proceedings. I help my clients prepare their property so it doesn’t look like a divorce “fire sale” and use multiple marketing methods to generate interest so I can get you the highest offers in the shortest amount of time. I have also been named “Special Magistrate” by the courts as the Realtor selected to list, market and sell property based on the terms ordered by the court.

Agent Responsibilities

When you choose to work with me, you are getting a knowledgeable and trusted top-producing agent who fully understands the complexities involved in the divorce process and the emotional stress that comes from it. My job is to help ensure that your property is effectively staged, has a nice flow, and has the curb appeal that buyers want to see! When the property is ready, I will launch my massive marketing campaign to reach the largest audience and get it sold for the highest amount possible.

Divorce Information

Quick Stats

* 827,000 divorces occur annually. Floridaa currently ranks as the 6th highest in divorce rate with 3.4 people getting divorced per 1,000 of the population. This would equal nearly 75,000 with the FL population of 22 million people.

* Divorce is the 2nd most stressful life event.

* 90% of divorces end without going to trial.

Some quick FL divorce facts

* FL is an Equitable Division state as opposed to Community Property states.
* You may be eligible for a short sale if you have negative equity in your property.
* FL is a homestead state and you should be sure to take advantage of the portability law if you intend on purchasing a replacement property. You can also lose your Homestead Portability option if you sign a Quit Claim Deed releasing your claim to the property, so be sure to discuss this with your attorney so you don’t lose your portability rights.
* You may have the option of a deferred sale if you both want to hold the property for any reason for a period of time. It is important to discuss this option with your attorney and get this agreement in writing with full details and terms.

Things To Keep In Mind

* Long term financial interest is better than a short term heat of the moment “win”.

* The option may exist for one spouse to buy out the property interest of the other.

* There is no need to disclose the divorce when selling which will work to your benefit.

* Your home will generate higher offers if you alleviate the appearance of a “divorce sale” which can often lead to lower offers.

* I can help you maximize your position, reduce the appearance of a divorce sale, and get you the highest offers possible for your property.

The Luxe Way For Divorce Sales

Communication

One of the most essential tenets during a divorce sale is excellent communication between your agent and all parties involved. Even if this means separate phone calls by your agent to each of you individually, it is crucial that everyone is aware of the process at all times.

Home PrepARATION

Often during a divorce the home maintenance can fall to the wayside; maybe the grass doesn’t get cut, or the HVAC filters didn’t get changed, regardless of what it is – I will help get things back on track. I will also help you properly stage the property so it doesn’t appear as though a divorce is taking place (because this often leads buyers to believe they can get it for less). We will then create an inviting exterior curb appeal for that ever important first impression.

PROPERTY Marketing

It starts with high end professional photos, videos, aerials and floor-plans that make people WANT to get inside and look around. Reaching the largest audience is vital and my Massive Marketing System does just that! I reach more people, generate more interest in the property and ultimately sell the property for the highest amount possible.

Confidential

We are not required to disclose that there is a divorce taking place, so we will stage the home according to how it will likely be used in order to obtain the most and the best offers.

Neutral

Trust is often an issue during a divorce which is why choosing a neutral third party agent like myself is so important. My goal is ensuring the financial interests for both of you as my clients. This is not the time to choose to work with a friend of one or the other, choose a neutral third party Realtor and eliminate the potential for any unintentional bias to occur.

Special Magistrate

I am experienced in working with the courts and have been named “Special Magistrate” by the courts as the selected Realtor to list, market and sell property based on terms ordered by the court. We have testified in court cases and are well versed in this process should your divorce go this far, which most do not.
