What should I know about selling during a divorce?

Selling a home during a divorce requires both parties to agree on the listing price, timing, and division of proceeds. Both spouses typically must sign the listing agreement and closing documents. Work with a real estate agent experienced in divorce sales and consult your attorneys. A neutral third-party mediator can help resolve disagreements. Proceeds are divided according to your divorce settlement, and capital gains tax exclusions still apply if both spouses meet the use requirements.
