A 4-Step Guide to Navigating Home Selling Through A Divorce
March 6th, 2025

Divorce is tough. Period. And when you add the complexities of selling a shared home to the mix, it can feel completely overwhelming. Believe me, we get it. At Evergreen Home Buyers, we've helped countless couples navigate this difficult process, and we want to share some tips to make it smoother.
Four Steps to a Simpler Sale:
1. Clear the Title: Before you even think about listing, figure out who's legally on the deed. If it's joint ownership, both parties must agree on the sale terms. This is the foundation for everything else.
2. Stage to Sell: A vacant house is a hard sell. Staging can make a huge difference in how quickly your property attracts buyers. Think about it – a beautifully staged home feels inviting and shows its potential much better than an empty one.
3. Utilities: Avoid the Post-Divorce Headache: To avoid arguments later, clearly assign responsibility for utility payments. Unpaid bills can seriously delay the closing process, adding even more stress to an already difficult situation.
4. Repairs: A Potential Point of Conflict: Home repairs are often a source of disagreement during a divorce. If you and your ex can't agree on splitting the costs, consider a cash, as-is sale with Evergreen Home Buyers. We can take the pressure off.
Why Choose a Faster Sale?
According to Zillow, traditional home sales in Jacksonville can take 65-98 days (and that doesn't even include the time it takes to get your property listed!). Why drag things out longer than necessary? We offer cash offers and closings in as little as two weeks. Let us help you move on to the next chapter of your life, faster and with less stress.
