Going through a divorce requires an agent that specializes in discretion, remaining neutral and employing real strategies for complex situations. Communicating with each party in a way that is transparent and clear and keeps the main goal in mind, selling the home is critical. As a divorce specialist each facet of the sale of the home during a divorce is different than a typical transaction, from listing, contracts, marketing, and showing.
Many agents are not equipped to deal with understanding that a divorce property requires a discreet marketing and showing strategies than any other listings. Sellers may wish that children or neighbors not be made aware of the home sale. Some concerns include how to get paperwork signed when parties are not speaking to one and other, whether to even hold open houses, and or use any lock boxes.
In no other type of transaction will a realtor work for both parties interest individually. Understanding each party must have fair and equal representation while working to keep the process moving forward is the biggest challenge. Unfortunately, one party may be opposed to the sale of the home a divorce specialist needs to understand when to get courts involved. Documentation of all communications and processes is critical in dealing with a home sale during a divorce. Various court orders and having to be called to testify, is something that is not uncommon and being comfortable with legal processes and detail oriented protects all parties.
