Selling a home during a divorce requires a structured, neutral, and court-aware process. Our listing protocol is designed to reduce conflict, maintain compliance, and keep the sale moving efficiently. Below is a concise overview of how we manage divorce listings: 1. Communication Protocol All parties receive the same information seperately but equally. All material communication is documented in writing, phone conversations are followed by a recap email or text. We follow court orders and attorney guidance precisely This reduces misunderstandings and prevents accusations of bias towards one party or the other. 2. Pre-Listing Requirements We confirm court orders affecting access, deadlines, or restraining provisions, or non titled parties are issued in a manner that allows us to operate effectively. In guardianship situations, we ensure the guardian has the proper guardianship and license to sell before listing the home. This process can take weeks if not months to address and could jeaoprdize a sale. We review required documents and disclosures We identify any conflict risks or access limitations ahead of time We use additional addendums that outline our scope, role, and put parties on notice that noncompliance will be escalated to counsel or the court if necessary. This prevents delays once the property is on the market. 3. Defined Timelines Clear deadlines are set for price approval, listing prep, showings, and offer review Non-responses or delays are documented and communicated to counsel or the court if needed. This keeps the transaction moving and creates accountability. 4. Property Access & Showings Showings are scheduled with reasonable notice to both parties when applicable. Any interference, safety issues, or sabotage concerns are documented and conveyed to counsel when necessary. 5. Documentation of Material Actions We retain all communication with the parties (email and text). We track decisions, delays, access issues, and property condition changes Any actions that impact marketability or value are recorded This provides a factual record if disputes arise. 6. Neutral Offer Review & Negotiation Offers are presented to both spouses seperately, with our reccomendations. All negotiation steps are documented Recommendations are based on market data, and realistic views of the current market. This maintains neutrality throughout the sale. Why This Listing Process Matters Divorce cases can easily be derailed by miscommunication, non-compliance, or emotional conflict. Our structured protocol protects the integrity of the transaction, reduces attorney workload, and ensures the sale proceeds efficiently. We know when to escalate matters to counsel or the court if there is an impass that we can not get all parties to agree upon.
