Divorce is never an easy process, especially when there are assets involved. One of the largest assets divorcing couples need to talk about is the family home. Not everyone chooses to sell the home, but if you are considering it, it never hurts to get a head start on things. Hi, I’m Sherri Echols, Broker Associate with RE/MAX Bryan – College Station. I am a certified real estate divorce specialist and can help you through this difficult time. Here are a few things you should think about……. Consider keeping the home furnished or staged if someone is going to move out, or even if someone is going to continue to live in the home while it is listed. Staged homes sell quicker and sell for more. We specialize in helping divorcing couples sell their homes and we can help you navigate all the additional complexities that come with selling while divorcing, including helping to try and keep the costs down with the lawyers by involving them in only what you deem necessary. Consult with your attorney about the finances and divorce, but let your agent handle the sale. Sending an unnecessary email can cost you hundreds of dollars. Also, we can help you stay calm. Emotions run high during situations like this and those emotions can hurt the process more than help it. We can make sure that everything is as fair as possible between all parties and get you to the closing table as smoothly and as quickly as possible. Please remember I am not an attorney or tax consultant, I’m just giving some free advice so be sure to speak to the appropriate parties during this difficult time. I’m your Community Market Leader Sherri Echols, a helping hand for a happy home.
