Selling a house in a divorce? You can sell it as it sits.

Can I sell the house while the divorce is still going?

Yes. A lot of people need the house handled before the rest of the case is finished. We can look at it now, talk through the numbers, and put an agreement in writing. The closing waits until everyone who must sign is able to sign.

We are not a law firm. A divorce decree, a title question, or a quitclaim is work for your attorney and the title company. We buy the house. We do not tell you what the decree means.

What if both names are on the title?

If both names are on the title, a title company generally needs both people to sign, or a court paper that says who may sign alone. Your divorce attorney and the title company decide which one your case needs. We do not interpret the decree, and we do not draft a quitclaim.

A quitclaim is a deed a lawyer prepares when someone is giving up a claim to the house. Ask your attorney whether you need one. We will not pressure either person to sign.

Bring the deed, the latest mortgage statement, and any court order you already have. Those papers help the title company say what has to happen before closing.

Who gets the money?

The title company pays the sale proceeds the way the written agreement and any court order say. We do not decide the split, and we do not hold the money after closing.

If a loan has to be paid off, the title company gets the payoff and pays it from the sale. What is left is divided the way your agreement or the court says. Ask your attorney to put that split in writing before you sign with us, so the closing statement matches it.

You pick the date

You pick the closing date once the people who must sign are ready. Some people need it done on a date the court already set. Some need a few more weeks to move. We work on that date. We do not promise a number of days, and cash is not promised on every house.

Charlie calls back, usually the same day. The closing is at a local title company. You do not have to hold showings or wait on a buyer to be found.

Do I have to fix the house first?

No. We buy the house as it sits. You do not repair, clean, or paint. Leave what you do not want. Take what is yours, and check with your attorney before anything that might belong to both of you leaves the house.

A house that needs a roof, has water damage, or is full of belongings can still be sold this way. Read selling a house as-is in Shreveport-Bossier for how that trade works. The price is usually lower than a house that has been fixed up, in exchange for no repairs and no showings.

What are the other choices?

Selling to us is one choice. It may not be the one you want.

1. Keep the house. One person can keep it, refinance, or keep paying the loan. Your attorney can tell you what the decree allows.
2. Sell it to us as it sits. No repairs, no showings, and a closing date you pick. We may pay cash, or take over the payments. Neither is promised until we see the house and the paperwork.
3. Wait. If the court has not said who can sign, waiting for that paper is often the right move. We are glad to look now and close later.

How it works with us

• Call or send the form. Tell us the address, whose names are on the title, and whether a court date is already set.
• We look at the house and talk through the numbers, including any loan.
• We put it in writing. You can show it to your attorney before anyone signs.
• A local title company closes it on the date you pick, once the people who must sign are ready.

If the loan is behind, start with behind on payments. If the house came from a relative who died, start with inherited houses. Those are different papers from a divorce.
