How We Help Divorcing Couples
We've helped dozens of Portland couples sell their homes during divorce. Here's how we make it easy:
We Work with Both Parties and Attorneys
We coordinate with both spouses and their attorneys to ensure all parties are informed and agree to the sale terms. We handle all communications professionally.
Fair Market Value Offers
Our offers are based on current Portland market data and recent comparable sales. Both parties can feel confident they're getting a fair price.
No Repairs or Improvements Needed
Avoid arguments about who pays for repairs. We buy houses as-is — no updates, no staging, no landscaping. Sell it exactly as it sits today.
Fast Closings to Reduce Stress
The faster you close, the faster you can both move forward. We can close in as little as 7 days once both parties sign.
We Pay All Closing Costs
No surprise fees eating into your proceeds. We cover all standard closing costs, so the offer amount is what you walk away with (minus mortgage payoff).
Flexible Distribution of Proceeds
We work with your attorneys and title company to distribute proceeds exactly as specified in your divorce decree — whether 50/50 or another arrangement.
Common Divorce Property Concerns
Underwater Mortgage
Owe more than the house is worth? We can help negotiate a short sale with your lender so both parties can walk away without owing the bank.
One Spouse Wants to Keep It
If one spouse can't afford to buy out the other, we can purchase the home and distribute the equity fairly so both parties get their share.
Need to Sell Before Divorce Finalizes
We can work with separated couples who haven't finalized their divorce yet. As long as both parties agree to sell, we can move forward.
Emotional Attachment
We understand selling your home during divorce is emotional. We handle the process with sensitivity and respect for both parties.
Common Questions
Do both spouses need to agree to sell the house?
In Oregon, if both spouses are on the title, both must agree to sell. However, the court can order the sale if one spouse refuses. We recommend working with your divorce attorney to determine the best approach for your situation.
Can we sell before the divorce is finalized?
Yes. Many couples choose to sell the marital home before the divorce is finalized. As long as both parties agree to the sale and sign the paperwork, we can move forward.
How are the proceeds split?
We work with your attorneys and the title company to distribute proceeds exactly as specified in your divorce settlement agreement. This could be 50/50, or any other agreed-upon split. The mortgage is paid off first, then remaining equity is distributed.
What if one spouse is living in the house and the other moved out?
This is very common. We work with both parties regardless of who currently lives in the home. We coordinate all showings, inspections, and the final closing to accommodate both parties' schedules.
How long does the sale process take?
We can close in as little as 7-14 days once both parties agree to the sale and sign the contract. The faster timeline helps both parties move forward with their lives.
What if we can't agree on repairs or improvements?
This is exactly why we buy houses as-is. There's no need to agree on repairs, staging, or improvements. We buy the Portland house in its current condition, eliminating a major source of conflict.
