What should I know about selling during a divorce?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
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.
Why It Matters
Divorce adds emotional and legal complexity to a home sale. Professional guidance ensures the process is fair, transparent, and as smooth as possible.
