Selling a House During a Divorce in Philadelphia

When a marriage ends, the house is often the biggest thing to sort out. A calm, clear plan makes it easier on everyone.

Both owners usually need to agree

If both spouses are on the deed, both generally need to sign for the house to be sold. A family law attorney can tell you what applies to your situation.

Know the numbers first

Find out what you owe on the mortgage and what the home might sell for. That tells you what is left to divide after the sale.

Your main options

• One spouse keeps the house and buys out the other.
• You list it with an agent and split the proceeds.
• You sell to a cash buyer, as-is, on a closing date that works for both of you.

Why a cash sale can lower the stress

There are no showings, no repairs and no months of waiting. You get one written offer and one closing date. Many couples find that a fast, private sale lets them move forward.
