Divorcing Spouse(s)

 

This is not the time to hire a traditional real estate agent.

As Real Estate Collaboration Specialist, Divorce Designation, RCS-D™, I have the specialized knowledge and experience in divorce real estate that will make all the difference.

Keep the House for all the Right Reasons but Prevent Permanent Mistakes. 

The family home is usually the most significant asset in divorce and elder mediation, often with significant debt. However, appraisal minus mortgage does NOT equal actual equity. This incomplete equation leaves your house over-valued and that works against you in family mediation for divorce and elder matters.

Why work with me?

More than sales agents, I'm a consultant, bringing clarity to questions such as:

​
  • why does appraisal minus mortgage not equal the actual equity of our house?
  • how can I find out what my house is really worth in today's market?
  • what happens if my spouse wants to keep the house but doesn't have the money to buy me out?
  • what risks am I exposed to if I stay on the joined mortgage?
  • what do I need to know about home insurance?
  • how can I find out if there are any undisclosed liens on the house or unpaid taxes?
  • could it be that my house is no longer insurable? 
  • what do I need to know about Quit Claims and joined Mortgages?
  • what are the expenses in the case of the property's sale?
  • what are the California Disclosure requirements?
  • what are the tax advantages of selling as a (still) married couple vs. a divorced single homeowner?
  • if I end up selling, what home improvements can I make to increase my profit?
