Can we sell before the divorce is final?

Often yes, but it usually needs both signatures or a court order. I'll help you confirm what your situation requires.

What if one of us wants to keep the house?

I'll establish a fair market value so a buyout can be negotiated cleanly, and walk you through how that works.

How do you handle communication between us?

However you prefer — joint updates, or separate identical updates to each of you. No surprises, no taking sides.

Selling through a life change

Selling a Home During Divorce, With Less Stress

Two people who no longer agree on much still have to agree on a house. What works is a neutral, documented process: one value both sides can trust, one timeline you set together, and identical updates to each of you so nobody ends up feeling handled. Your attorney handles the legal side and I don't replace that. What I do is keep the house from becoming one more thing to fight about.

Compare every option

Divorce is hard enough without the house becoming another battle. I work as a neutral party for both spouses — clear communication, no sides — so the sale is one less thing to fight about.
