Watch: Sell My House Fast for Cash During Divorce in Fort Myers
How a quick, as-is cash sale can make dividing the marital home simpler, with one closing and proceeds handled through the title company.
Divorce forces dozens of decisions at once, and the house is usually the biggest one — financially and emotionally. One spouse may want to keep it, the other wants out. The mortgage still has to be paid every month while lawyers trade drafts. Repairs that got put off during a rough couple of years are suddenly visible to every buyer who walks through. And in Southwest Florida, many homes still carry the scars of Hurricane Ian or the 2024 storms, which makes a traditional listing even harder when two people can’t agree on which contractor to hire.
Libera Capital Group buys houses, condos, rental properties and commercial buildings for cash across Florida, with Southwest Florida as our home market. For divorcing owners, our role is simple: give both parties a single, transparent number, remove the repair and showing fights from the equation, and close through a neutral Florida title company that pays off the mortgage and divides the remaining proceeds exactly as your agreement or the judge directs. We are not a party to your divorce and we don’t take sides — we just make the property part of it easier.
This guide walks through how Florida’s equitable distribution law treats the marital home, why homestead rules matter, how to time a sale around mediation and the final judgment, what it actually costs to list versus sell for cash, and what to ask before you sign anything. It is general information, not legal advice — your family law attorney should always review the contract before either spouse signs.
Why divorcing spouses choose a cash sale
No arguments over repairs
We buy as-is. Nobody has to agree on a roofer, a painter or who pays for the new water heater. The condition the house is in today is the condition we buy it in — so one less issue lands on the mediation agenda.
Equity preserved for both of you
No agent commissions and no seller concessions mean more of the equity survives to be divided. We pay normal seller closing costs, and the title company shows every dollar on one settlement statement both attorneys can audit.
Your court timeline, not ours
Need to close before the final hearing so proceeds can be split? Or after the judgment is entered so the deed is clean? We set the closing date around your attorneys and the court, and can often close in 7–14 days when title is clear.
Minimal contact required
Spouses don’t need to be in the same room. We communicate in writing, send each party (or each attorney) the same documents, and use separate signing appointments or mobile notaries when that keeps the peace.
How does Florida divide a marital home in a divorce?
Florida is an equitable distribution state, not a community property state. Under Florida Statutes section 61.075, the court starts from the premise that marital assets and liabilities should be divided equally, and then adjusts if there is a justification for an unequal split — things like one spouse’s contribution to the marriage, the economic circumstances of each party, the length of the marriage, career sacrifices, or the desirability of keeping the marital home for a dependent child. Because the house is often the largest asset, the way it is classified and valued drives much of the rest of the settlement.
Marital vs. non-marital property
Generally, a home bought during the marriage with marital income is a marital asset, regardless of whose name is on the deed. A home one spouse owned before the wedding usually starts as non-marital property — but it can pick up a marital component. If marital funds paid down the mortgage, or if the home appreciated because of marital effort or money (a new roof, an addition, a pool, hurricane rebuild funded with joint savings), the increase in value or the paydown may be treated as marital. Gifts and inheritances can also be non-marital, unless they were commingled or retitled jointly. These are fact-specific questions for your attorney, and they matter: they decide how much of a sale’s net proceeds each spouse actually walks away with.
Valuation date and appraisal disputes
The court has discretion to choose the date used to value assets — often the date of filing or a date close to trial. In a rising or falling market, that choice matters. Spouses frequently hire competing appraisers, and in storm-affected parts of Lee, Charlotte and Collier counties the gap between “pre-storm value” and “as-is value” can be enormous. A written cash offer gives both sides a real-world, arm’s-length data point about what the property is worth today, in its current condition, to an actual buyer. Many couples find that simpler than paying for dueling appraisals.
Debts follow the house
Equitable distribution covers liabilities too. The first mortgage, any home equity line, unpaid HOA or condo assessments, property taxes, and liens for contractor work or code violations all reduce the net equity available to divide. A sale is one of the few events that resolves all of them at once: the title company collects payoff statements, pays every lien from the proceeds, and splits only what is left. If one spouse took out a HELOC without the other’s knowledge, that also surfaces in the title search — another reason both attorneys should see the title commitment early.
Exclusive use and possession
While the case is pending, a Florida court can award one spouse temporary exclusive use and possession of the home, often the parent with whom minor children primarily live. That doesn’t change ownership, but it affects who controls access for inspections and showings. With a traditional listing, that can lead to standoffs over lockbox access and open houses. With a cash buyer, we typically need one walkthrough — or, if access is a problem, we can work from photos, the property appraiser record and a short video and confirm condition before closing.
Who has to sign — and why Florida homestead changes the answer
In most Florida divorce sales, both spouses sign the purchase contract and both sign the deed. That’s obvious when the house is titled to both of you. What surprises people is that the non-titled spouse often has to sign too.
The homestead joinder requirement
Article X, Section 4 of the Florida Constitution protects homestead property. One consequence is that an owner who is married generally cannot sell or mortgage the family homestead without the joinder of the spouse — even when that spouse is not on the deed. Title insurers in Florida take this seriously: if the property was the couple’s primary residence, the title company will usually require the non-owner spouse to sign the deed or provide another acceptable form of release before it will insure the sale. If the final judgment of dissolution has already been entered and the house was awarded to one spouse, the judgment itself may resolve the joinder question. Your attorney and the title agent will confirm what is needed for your specific file.
What if one spouse refuses to sign?
No buyer can force a reluctant co-owner to sell. But Florida courts can. In the divorce itself, the judge can order the marital home sold and specify how proceeds are split. If the divorce is already final and the house wasn’t addressed, or the former spouses still own it together as tenants in common, either owner can typically file a partition action under Chapter 64 of the Florida Statutes, asking the court to order a sale. Partition is slow and expensive — attorneys’ fees and a court-supervised sale can consume a meaningful share of the equity — which is why many couples ultimately agree to a negotiated cash sale instead. Some families use our written offer as a benchmark in mediation to show the reluctant spouse what a no-hassle sale would actually net.
Powers of attorney and separate signings
Florida allows real estate transactions to be signed under a properly drafted durable power of attorney, and the title company will review it before closing. More commonly, divorcing spouses simply sign at different times. We routinely arrange separate signing appointments — one spouse at the title office, the other with a mobile notary or a remote online notary if they’ve already moved out of state. Nobody has to sit across a conference table from their ex.
Mortgage liability doesn’t end with the divorce decree
A final judgment can say one spouse is responsible for the mortgage, but the lender isn’t bound by your divorce. If both names are on the note, both remain liable to the bank until the loan is paid off or refinanced. That is one of the strongest arguments for selling: a payoff at closing ends both spouses’ liability cleanly, protects both credit reports from a future missed payment, and avoids the scenario where one ex-spouse stops paying and the other learns about it from a foreclosure notice. If you’re already behind, read our page on stopping a Florida foreclosure — Florida is a judicial-foreclosure state, so there is usually time to sell if you act early.
How do you time a home sale with Florida divorce proceedings?
There are three common windows for a sale, and each has trade-offs. Your attorney should decide which fits your case; our job is to make any of them work.
Before or during the case (by agreement)
Spouses can agree to sell while the case is pending, typically with a written stipulation stating that the net proceeds will be held in a trust account — often the title company’s escrow or one attorney’s trust account — until the court or a settlement agreement divides them. This stops the monthly bleed of mortgage, insurance and HOA payments and turns an illiquid asset into cash that’s easy to split. It’s especially useful when neither spouse can afford the house alone.
As part of the mediated settlement
Florida family courts commonly require mediation before trial. Many marital settlement agreements include a clause directing that the home be sold, naming who controls the process, how the price is approved, and the percentage each spouse receives. Clear language helps: specify a deadline, a minimum acceptable net, who pays carrying costs until closing, and what happens if one party won’t cooperate. A cash offer with a fixed closing date is easy to plug into that language because it removes contingencies like buyer financing and appraisal.
After the final judgment
Sometimes the judgment awards the house to one spouse who later decides to sell, or orders a sale within a set period. In those cases, title will look at the judgment closely to confirm who holds title and whether the other spouse must sign. If the court ordered a sale and one party won’t cooperate, your attorney can ask the court to enforce the judgment — sometimes by appointing a special magistrate or commissioner to sign the deed.
Holding proceeds in escrow
Whatever the timing, the safest practice is that no one spouse takes custody of the sale proceeds unilaterally. The Florida title company handling the closing can disburse according to written joint instructions, or hold funds pending a court order. Because we are a cash buyer, the settlement statement is simple: purchase price, minus mortgage payoff, liens, prorated taxes and normal seller costs we don’t cover, equals net proceeds — divided as directed.
Keep, buy out, list or sell for cash — which fits your situation?
Most divorcing owners choose among four paths. The right answer depends on equity, income, children’s schooling, and how well the two of you can still cooperate.
- One spouse keeps the house and refinances. Works when the keeping spouse qualifies alone for a new loan large enough to pay off the existing mortgage and buy out the other’s share. In today’s rate environment, giving up a low pandemic-era rate is painful, and rising insurance premiums in coastal Florida have pushed many monthly payments past what a single income can carry.
- Deferred sale. The house is kept until a child finishes school, then sold. It keeps stability for kids but leaves both ex-spouses tied together on a mortgage and maintenance decisions for years, which can create a second dispute down the road.
- List with an agent. Often brings the highest gross price for a move-in-ready home in a strong neighborhood — but requires agreement on price, repairs, staging, showings, which offers to accept, and every counteroffer after an inspection. If either spouse stops cooperating midway, the deal can collapse.
- Sell for cash as-is. Usually a lower gross price than a fully prepared retail listing, but with no commissions, repairs, showings or financing contingencies, and a predictable closing date. Best when the home needs work, when the parties don’t communicate well, when carrying costs are hurting, or when certainty matters more than squeezing out the last dollar.
We encourage you to compare honestly. Our cash offer vs. listing guide breaks down the math, and the table further down this page shows the typical cost categories side by side.
Divorce sales across Southwest Florida and the rest of the state
Southwest Florida is our home market, and several local patterns come up again and again in divorce sales here. Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry and Glades counties are all within Florida’s Twentieth Judicial Circuit, while Sarasota and DeSoto fall within the Twelfth — so procedures, mediation programs and family-division practices can differ depending on where your case was filed. We work with attorneys in all of them, and statewide; see our Southwest Florida service area for the full map.
Cape Coral and Fort Myers: canal homes and storm repairs
In Cape Coral, many marital homes are canal-front ranch houses with pools, docks and seawalls. Seawall condition, lift repairs and post-Ian roof replacements are frequent points of disagreement — one spouse wants to fix before listing, the other wants to sell now. In Fort Myers, older homes in neighborhoods near McGregor Boulevard and the river districts may have original plumbing or electrical that a retail buyer’s inspector will flag. A cash sale avoids the repair negotiation entirely.
Lehigh Acres and North Port: newer homes, tighter budgets
Many couples in Lehigh Acres and North Port bought newer construction with modest down payments. Equity can be thin once commissions and concessions are subtracted, which can make a no-commission sale the difference between walking away with something and bringing money to closing. Some also sit on well and septic systems, which retail lenders and inspectors scrutinize.
Naples, Estero and Bonita Springs: HOA and condo layers
In Naples, Estero and Bonita Springs, the marital home is often in a gated HOA or a condominium. Condo sales require estoppel letters showing assessments due, and after Florida’s post-Surfside condo safety laws, many associations have raised reserves or levied special assessments for milestone inspection and structural repair work. Those assessments are a marital liability, and they can scare off financed buyers. We buy condos and townhomes with pending assessments and handle the estoppel process with the association.
Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte
In Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte, we see divorcing couples who retired to the area and now need to split a paid-off or nearly paid-off home. With little or no mortgage, the main issues are speed, fairness and avoiding repair disputes — exactly where a single cash offer helps.
When the marital estate includes rentals or commercial property
Divorce often involves more than one property: a duplex bought as an investment, a small strip center, a warehouse used by the family business, or a vacation condo. We buy multifamily rentals and commercial property of every type as well as houses, and can purchase several assets in one coordinated closing — or stagger closings so each sale lines up with the settlement terms. If an investment property has tenants, see our guide to selling with tenants in place.
What does it cost to sell a marital home: cash sale vs. listing
Every dollar spent on selling is a dollar neither spouse gets. The ranges below are typical for Florida residential sales and vary by property and market; your own numbers will differ.
| Cost or factor | Cash sale to Libera Capital Group | Listing with an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Agent commissions | None | Often 5–6% of the sale price in total |
| Pre-listing repairs & prep | None — sold as-is | Paint, cleaning, landscaping, repairs; often thousands of dollars that someone must agree to fund |
| Inspection repair credits / concessions | None after our offer is accepted, unless title or property facts change | Commonly negotiated after the buyer’s inspection; closing cost credits are also common |
| Seller closing costs | We pay normal closing costs | Seller typically pays doc stamps ($0.70 per $100 of price), owner’s title policy in much of SWFL, and other fees |
| Carrying costs while marketing | Short — often 1–3 weeks to close | Mortgage, insurance, taxes, HOA and utilities for months, often disputed between spouses |
| Showings & access | Typically one walkthrough | Repeated showings, open houses, lockbox access — difficult with exclusive possession orders |
| Financing & appraisal risk | None — cash purchase | Buyer’s loan or appraisal can fail, restarting the process |
| Number of decisions spouses must agree on | One: accept the offer and closing date | Many: agent, price, reductions, repairs, offers, counteroffers |
A listing can still net more in some cases — particularly for a renovated home in a high-demand neighborhood when both spouses cooperate. Ask us for an offer anyway; having a firm number lets you compare against a listing agent’s estimate with real data.
How the process works for divorcing owners
- Tell us about the property. Either spouse — or either attorney — can submit the address and basic details. Let us know up front that it’s a divorce sale and whether both parties are on board, so we copy the right people.
- Get one written cash offer. Typically within 24–48 hours of receiving the property information, we send a written offer to both parties (or both attorneys) at the same time, so no one wonders whether the other received a different number.
- Review with counsel and sign. Each side’s attorney can review the contract. We open title with a Florida title company, which orders the payoff, lien search and any HOA estoppel, and confirms what signatures homestead law requires.
- Close and divide proceeds. Spouses can sign separately or remotely. The title company pays off the mortgage and liens and disburses net proceeds according to your written instructions, settlement agreement or court order.

- Florida divides marital property by equitable distribution — usually equal, adjusted for specific factors.
- Both spouses generally need to sign, and homestead law can require the non-titled spouse’s joinder.
- Mortgage liability survives the divorce decree; a sale pays it off and releases both of you.
- Proceeds can be held in escrow until the court or settlement agreement divides them.
- A cash sale removes repairs, showings and financing risk — the main sources of conflict in divorce listings.

Selling a House During a Divorce in Florida: Your Questions Answered
These short, direct answers cover the questions divorcing Florida homeowners ask most about selling a marital home; for advice on your own case, confirm with your family law attorney.
Can I sell my house during a divorce in Florida without waiting for a court order?
Yes, spouses can sell a jointly owned home while a Florida divorce is pending if both agree and sign. A voluntary sale usually needs no court order, although many couples file a written stipulation so the judge and both attorneys know how the proceeds will be handled. If a temporary order or injunction mentions the home, follow it. Confirm with your family law attorney before either of you signs a purchase contract.
Why does my spouse have to sign the deed in Florida if their name isn’t on it?
Because Article X, Section 4 of the Florida Constitution generally requires a married owner’s spouse to join in any sale of homestead property. That protection applies even when only one spouse holds title, and title insurers will not insure a buyer without the joinder. If the house is not your homestead, such as a rental, the rule may not apply. Your family law attorney and the title company will confirm exactly which signatures your deed needs.
Can a Florida judge order our house to be sold in the divorce?
Yes, a Florida divorce judge can order the marital home sold as part of dividing marital property. The order may also set a listing price, decide who manages the sale and state how net proceeds are split. Court-ordered sales often move slowly because disagreements can lead to more hearings. Many couples avoid that by agreeing on a sale themselves. Ask your family law attorney how your judge typically handles the marital home.
What is a partition action, and can my ex-spouse use it to force a sale?
A partition action under Chapter 64 of the Florida Statutes lets one co-owner ask a court to divide or sell property owned with someone else. It usually comes up when former spouses still own a house together after the final judgment because the divorce did not resolve it. Since a house can’t be split physically, courts generally order a sale. Partition adds legal fees and months, so confirm with your family law attorney whether it fits your situation.
Should we sell the house before or after our Florida divorce is final?
It depends on your case, but selling before the final judgment often simplifies the settlement because the house becomes a known cash figure. Selling afterward can make sense if one spouse needs time to relocate or you still disagree about the split. Either way, the purchase contract, deed and disbursement instructions must match your agreement or judgment. Your family law attorney can advise which timing protects you better.
Does Florida split the marital home 50/50 in a divorce?
Not automatically. Section 61.075 of the Florida Statutes begins with the premise that marital assets are divided equally, but a judge can order an unequal split based on factors such as each spouse’s contributions and economic circumstances. A home one spouse owned before the marriage may be partly nonmarital. Couples can also agree to a different split in a marital settlement agreement. Confirm with your family law attorney how this applies to your home.
What is a marital settlement agreement, and does it control the house sale?
A marital settlement agreement is the written contract divorcing spouses sign to divide property and debts, and it usually controls how the house is sold. It can name who signs, a minimum acceptable price, who pays the mortgage until closing and how net proceeds are split. Once the court approves it, it becomes part of the final judgment. Your attorneys can reference our written offer in it. Have your family law attorney draft or review the agreement.
Where does the money from the house sale go until the divorce is final?
Usually into a title company escrow account or an attorney’s trust account until the spouses agree or the court orders a split. The title company first pays off the mortgage, any home equity line, liens and closing costs, then holds or releases the balance only on written instructions signed by both spouses or a court order. Neither spouse can withdraw the money alone. Your family law attorney can draft escrow instructions that match your case.
What if only one spouse is on the mortgage but both of us own the house?
Both owners on the deed still sign the sale, no matter whose name is on the loan. At a cash closing, the title company pays the lender in full from the proceeds, which ends the debt for the spouse who signed it and can help that spouse qualify for a new mortgage later. The payoff appears on the settlement statement before anyone signs. Who gets credit for payments made during the case is a question for your family law attorney.
Can I sell the house if my spouse was given exclusive use of it during the divorce?
Usually only with your spouse’s agreement or a further court order. When a Florida judge awards one spouse temporary exclusive use and possession, the other spouse generally can’t list, show or sell the home over that order. Because we buy as-is with no showings, a cash sale is often easier for the occupying spouse to accept, and we can set a closing date that gives them time to move. Confirm with your family law attorney what your order allows.
What if we owe more on the house than it’s worth during our divorce?
You may still be able to sell, but the lender must approve a payoff for less than the balance through a short sale, or the spouses must bring cash to closing. We review the numbers with both of you, and if a short sale is the realistic path we can make an offer for the lender to evaluate. Ask your attorney how any remaining deficiency would be allocated. Learn more about selling a house as a short sale in Florida.
Can one spouse buy out the other instead of selling the house?
Yes, a buyout is common when one spouse can refinance the mortgage alone and pay the other spouse their share of the equity. The keeping spouse usually must qualify for new financing on one income, and the agreed home value drives the payout. If refinancing isn’t possible or the payment would be a stretch, a sale often works better. Our written cash offer can serve as one data point while you negotiate value. Your attorney should document any buyout.
Can we each claim the $250,000 capital gains exclusion if we sell during the divorce?
Possibly. Under IRS Section 121, each qualifying owner can generally exclude up to $250,000 of gain on a main home, or up to $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly, if ownership and use tests are met, usually two of the last five years. Special rules can treat a spouse as still using the home while the other spouse lives there under a divorce or separation instrument. Confirm your exclusion with a CPA before closing.
Can we sell a house with a lis pendens or pending foreclosure during our divorce?
Yes, in most cases a house with a recorded lis pendens or an open foreclosure can still be sold before the foreclosure sale date. The title company orders a payoff, and the sale proceeds pay the lender so the case can be dismissed. A lis pendens recorded in the divorce itself may need a release or the other spouse’s cooperation at closing. Timing matters, so call early and confirm the steps with your attorney. See our foreclosure help page.
What happens to a rental or commercial building held in an LLC when we divorce?
The LLC is the seller, so the people authorized under its operating agreement sign, not simply the spouses as individuals. The membership interests themselves may be marital property subject to equitable distribution. We buy rentals, multifamily and improved commercial buildings held in LLCs and can close with existing leases in place. Have your family law attorney and the company’s attorney confirm who must approve the sale and how proceeds are distributed.
Do we need an appraisal before selling the house for cash in a divorce?
No lender requires one for a cash sale, but many divorcing couples order an independent appraisal so both sides trust the value. We explain our offer in writing: what comparable renovated homes nearby sell for, minus repairs, holding and closing costs and a margin for risk. You can compare that math with an appraisal or an agent’s estimate before deciding. Your attorneys can decide whether the court needs a formal valuation.
Do you work with divorce attorneys and mediators?
Yes, we are glad to communicate through each spouse’s family law attorney or a mediator if you prefer. Everyone receives the same written offer, contract and title documents, and we can answer questions about timing, condition and closing logistics, including during a scheduled mediation. We buy as principals and do not represent either spouse, so each of you should rely on your own attorney for legal advice about the sale.
Will our divorce and home sale be kept confidential?
Yes, we keep your situation private and share details only with the parties needed to close, such as the title company, the lender being paid off and your attorneys. There are no yard signs, listing photos or open houses, so neighbors don’t watch the house sit on the market. Keep in mind that recorded deeds and many court filings are public records in Florida. Ask your attorney about confidentiality terms in your settlement.
How soon after accepting a cash offer could each spouse receive their share?
Usually at closing, which can happen in as little as 7–14 days when title is clear. The title company can wire each spouse’s portion to separate accounts. If your agreement or a court order says the money stays in escrow until the final judgment, the title company holds it and releases each share only on signed instructions or the court’s order. Your family law attorney can confirm when funds may be released in your case.
Can we sell a house with hurricane damage or unpermitted work during a divorce?
Yes, we buy marital homes as-is, including houses with roof or drywall damage from Hurricane Ian, Helene or Milton and additions built without permits. Neither spouse has to agree on contractors, front repair money or pull permits before the sale. We factor the damage into the offer and explain the numbers in writing. If an insurance claim is still open, your attorney should confirm who is entitled to any remaining claim proceeds.
Frequently Asked Questions about selling a house during divorce in Florida
Can I sell the house before the divorce is final in Florida?
Yes, if both spouses agree, and in many cases with the court’s blessing through a stipulation. Net proceeds are commonly held in a title company escrow or an attorney trust account until the settlement agreement or final judgment divides them. Your family law attorney should draft or review the agreement before you sign a purchase contract.
Does my spouse have to sign if the house is only in my name?
Often, yes. If the property is your Florida homestead, the Florida Constitution generally requires your spouse to join in the deed even if they are not on title. Title insurers usually enforce this. If a final judgment has already addressed the home, it may change the requirement. The title company will confirm exactly which signatures are needed.
What happens if my spouse refuses to sell?
A buyer can’t force a sale, but a Florida court can. In the divorce, the judge can order the home sold and set the split. If co-owners are already divorced, a partition action can ask the court to order a sale. Both routes take time and legal fees, which is why many couples negotiate a voluntary sale instead.
How are the sale proceeds divided?
According to your marital settlement agreement or the court’s final judgment. Florida starts from an equal division of marital assets, adjusted for factors in section 61.075. At closing, the title company pays the mortgage and any liens first, then disburses the remaining funds per the written instructions both parties or the court provide.
Will you make the same offer to both of us?
Yes. We send one written offer to both spouses or both attorneys at the same time. There is no side deal and no separate number. Transparency is the whole point in a divorce sale, and it keeps the conversation focused on the decision rather than on suspicion.
Do we both need to attend closing?
No. Florida title companies routinely handle split closings. One spouse can sign at the title office and the other with a mobile notary or remote online notarization, even from another state. We schedule each appointment separately so you never need to be in the same room.
What if the house needs repairs we can’t agree on?
That’s one of the most common reasons divorcing owners call us. We buy as-is, so there’s nothing to agree on beyond the offer itself. Roof age, storm damage, outdated plumbing, a pool that needs resurfacing — it all goes into the price, and neither spouse has to fund or manage repairs.
Are there taxes when we sell the marital home?
Possibly. Federal law may let qualifying homeowners exclude a portion of gain on a primary residence, and the rules for divorcing spouses have specific nuances about ownership, use and timing. Florida has no state personal income tax. Talk to a CPA or tax attorney about your situation before closing.
Can you buy a rental or commercial property as part of the divorce too?
Yes. We buy rentals, multifamily, retail, office, industrial and mixed-use property across Florida. We can close several assets together or on separate dates aligned with your settlement terms, with tenants in place.
How quickly can you close a divorce sale?
When title is clear and both parties have signed, we can often close in as little as 7–14 days. Many divorce sales intentionally close later — after mediation or the final hearing — and we’re happy to set a date that matches your court schedule.
