If getting a home prepped and ready to sell is a challenge normally, it can seem nearly unachievable during a divorce. Monica O’Neal, a Boston-based clinical psychologist and relationship expert, said, “The selling of homes during divorces comes up quite a bit. The home is emblematic of loss of marriage or feeling of helplessness."
In this excellent article, Megan Johnson offers a number of key things to keep in mind if you’re considering selling your home during a divorce:
Align your goals.
Timing is everything.
Settle on the maintenance.
The agent matters.
Understand the tax implications.
Your agent is not your friend.
Your children can handle moving.
Do not use the house as leverage.
Focus on the future.
