When it comes to preparing and staging a home when putting it up for sale, there is no difference if it is a regular sale or a sale because of a divorce. Our goal is the same, where we want a quick sale and for top dollar. The only difference between a regular sale and a divorce sale is; that we have to prepare the home and make it look like it is not a divorce sale. Our goal is still to get top dollar, we don’t want to look desperate and have buyers think we want a quick sale and we will take any price that is offered.

1. One of you needs to move out when you separate.

This is false. Each spouse has as much legal right to live in the home as the other does until a court decides or one of you agrees to move out. Not wanting your ex to live in the house with you is not enough reason to lock your ex out of the house. If there is abuse it is best to seek a lawyer’s advice and not stay in that situation.

Conducting a title review is so important when selling a home as it brings transparency to the sale of the home and it can help protect buyers from potential legal issues and disputes that may arise in the future.
