Selling the House in a Divorce — Fair, Fast, and Neutral

Selling the Family Home in a Divorce — Made Simple

Dividing the family home is one of the hardest parts of a divorce. It's usually the largest shared asset, it's emotionally loaded, and coordinating a traditional sale — repairs, showings, negotiations — between two people who are separating can turn into an ongoing source of conflict. Our goal is to take that piece off your plate: a fast, fair, neutral sale that lets both of you divide the proceeds and move forward.

We're Evan and Alex — local, licensed buyers based in Sonoma County. We regularly work with divorcing homeowners, and often with both spouses and their attorneys, to keep the sale calm and even-handed.

Is the House Community Property?

California is a community property state, so a home purchased during the marriage is generally owned 50/50 — regardless of whose name is on the title. A home owned before the marriage, or received by gift or inheritance, is usually separate property, though that can get complicated. How your home is classified affects how the proceeds are split, so it's worth confirming with your attorney.

Your Options for the Home

• One spouse buys out the other — if that spouse can refinance alone and afford the home going forward.
• Sell and split the proceeds — the most common choice, giving both a clean financial break.
• Deferred sale — co-owning for a set period (often until children finish school) before selling.

Why a Cash Sale Reduces Conflict

When both spouses want to move on, the drawn-out traditional sale process can keep you tied together longer than either of you wants. A direct cash sale changes that:

• Speed and certainty — a guaranteed, fast close instead of months of limbo.
• Neutral and equal — one clear number to divide, with both spouses treated the same.
• No coordination headaches — no repairs, staging, or showings to argue over or schedule between two households.
• A clean break — convert the shared asset to cash, split it, and start fresh.

How We Help

• We stay neutral — one transparent offer, both spouses and attorneys treated evenly.
• A fair cash offer within 24 hours — no obligation.
• We buy as-is — no repairs, no showings, nothing to coordinate.
• Fast close — in as little as 7 days once both spouses sign, or on your settlement's timeline.
• No fees or commissions — and if listing would net more and you both have time, as licensed agents we'll tell you honestly.

How the Process Works

Step 1 — Reach out. Fill out the form or call (707) 390-0399. Either spouse (or an attorney) can start the conversation. It takes about 5 minutes.

Step 2 — We make a fair, transparent offer. Within 24 hours we present a written, no-obligation cash offer and explain exactly how we got there, so both sides can see it's even-handed.

Step 3 — Close and divide the proceeds. Once both spouses sign, we coordinate with the title company (and your attorneys if needed) and close on your timeline. The proceeds are divided per your settlement.
