Why Do Couples Going Through Divorce Decide to Sell Their Home?
There are benefits to selling the house in the midst of the divorce process, both financially and personally. The profit gained from the sale of your home might provide each spouse with a solid foundation to start anew. Selling the marital home and eliminating that shared investment can also help to provide closure in a legal and emotional aspect. Choosing to sell before the divorce is finalized can also help provide each party with the means to deal with other financial responsibilities and debts. Also, couples often decide to sell their home because it will no longer be affordable to keep it after they have separated.
Sell Your House Without An Agent!
Selling directly to a cash home buyer and bypassing the real estate agent offers a whole wealth of benefits for those who may want to sell their home quickly. You won’t have to worry about cleaning up the house, getting it ready for the MLS, or keeping it in tip-top shape. You won’t have to worry about making repairs, upgrades, or and renovations to the house before selling it. There is no need to hire a photographer, market the house or pay to have it listed. You won’t have to pay out any commissions once the house is sold. With a direct sale, you can avoid gambling with the sale. You will know how much we can offer and when we can close from the very beginning.
No Debating Who Pays for What
People who are going through a divorce can be quick to point the finger. Things you might not have argued about before can quickly become an area of contention. Who will do the cleaning? Pay for the landscaping? Deal with the lender, insurance company, and utility providers? Selling can be a lot of work and it is important you are able to work together throughout the process. The last thing you want to do is set yourself up for more arguments and hassles. When you sell the house in a few days as opposed to a few months, you can avoid many potential bickering.
A Fast Sale Provides Closure
You will both be able to move on quickly without the financial ties to a shared property. When you list the house, you could spend months finding a buyer. From there, it could still be several more weeks until the sale is final. All of this unknowing makes things even more stressful. If you are getting a divorce, you will likely want to be able to move on quickly rather than dragging things out. When you sell your house to a direct buyer such as Breyer Home Buyers, you won’t have to extend a situation that is likely pretty painful already. Selling your house quickly and easily will help everyone move on.
If You Hire An Agent…
If you decide you would rather give listing a shot, set clear parameters ahead of time. Decide how selling costs will be handled and who will have to deal with the agent, with showings, cleaning, maintenance, receiving offers, etc. Determine your lowest acceptable price and decide how the profits will be divided if it is not already laid out in your divorce agreement. While you might get lucky and have things done right away, you are more likely to spend several weeks or months waiting for things to be finalized.
