Divorce is tough. But selling a home while going through a divorce? That can be even tougher. I get it. You’re already dealing with so much, and now you’re faced with one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. But don’t worry—I’m here to help you through it.

Communication is key. Let’s start with the first hurdle: communication. If you and your soon-to-be ex are on the same page, that’s great. But let’s face it, most divorces don’t go that smoothly. That’s where I come in. I act as the middleman. If you’re not talking much—or at all—I’ll make sure everyone is on the same page.

My goal is to take that stress off your plate and make the process as smooth as possible.

Expect a few bumps along the way. I won’t sugarcoat it. There will be bumps in the road. Divorce is messy. Selling a home can be too. But if you know what to expect, it makes it easier to handle.

I’ve helped families just like yours through this, and I’ll help you navigate every twist and turn.

Consider property sale proceeds. Here’s an important fact: in Louisiana, the law says that property owned by both parties is split 50/50. That means when you sell the home, you and your ex will split the profits equally—if you both still own the house. Divorce decrees can change things, but for most couples, that’s the standard rule.

Find a win-win solution. I’m not just here to sell your home. I’m here to find a solution that works for everyone. That’s why I focus on creating a win-win for both parties.

No one walks away feeling like they lost. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, I can connect you with real estate attorneys who can help you navigate the legal side of things.

Selling a home during a divorce doesn’t have to be another headache. With the right plan in place, we’ll get through it together. If you’re dealing with a divorce and need to sell your home, don’t go through it alone. I can help you find a solution that works for both of you. Give me a call at (318) 794-6769.
