Selling Your Home During Divorce
Selling a shared home during a divorce is stressful. We make it fast, discreet, and fair for both parties—so you can both move forward.

Dividing a home is often one of the hardest parts of a divorce. A fast, all-cash sale gives both spouses a clean, predictable way to split the equity and move forward. We buy homes during divorce across Maryland, DC, and Virginia as-is, discreetly, and on a timeline the court and both parties can agree to. Here are the questions couples going through a divorce ask us most.
Divorce Home Sale FAQs
Why sell to a cash buyer during a divorce?
A cash sale removes the biggest sources of conflict — repairs, pricing, showings, and buyers who back out. With one firm offer and a guaranteed close, both spouses get a clear number to divide and can finalize the divorce without the house hanging over the process.
How fast can we sell?
Most couples get a written cash offer within 24 hours and can close in as little as 7 days. Because we pay cash, there is no lender, no appraisal, and no financing contingency — you can align the closing with your settlement timeline.
How do you keep it fair for both parties?
We provide a single transparent offer and are happy to communicate with both spouses, their attorneys, and the court as needed. Proceeds go to a neutral closing table, so neither party has to manage the money directly.
Do we need to make repairs or clean up?
No. We buy homes exactly as-is, so neither spouse has to coordinate repairs or spend money getting the house ready. Take what you want and leave the rest.
What does it cost to sell?
Nothing. There are no agent commissions (typically 5–6% of the sale price), no closing costs, and no hidden fees. The cash offer we give you is the amount available to divide.
