Why do the attorneys benefit because you can’t sell your house fast you ask? Because they bill you for every hour (sometimes every quarter hour) spent working on your case.

How to Come To An Agreement To Sell Your Home During a Divorce
Dragging out the process by disputing and arguing over the sale of a jointly-owned home during a divorce, is emotionally driven vs. practically driven. Realizing that you are also hurting yourself (and your children if you have them) by dragging out the process is one of the biggest motivators to coming to an agreement for selling your joint-owned home during a divorce.
We can’t reiterate this enough—the longer it takes to sell your house, the smaller the settlement both parties walk away with after the divorce. Every month you don’t sell the house is another house payment, tax payment, insurance payment, utilities, attorneys fees…you get the idea.
You have to come to some sort of mutual agreement eventually—or your attorneys plus a divorce court judge will for you.

We are ready to give you a fair cash offer for your home so you can sell fast. Contacting us means you can have cash in your hands in as little as 7 days (or at a schedule that’s convenient to you), and the headache of selling your home during a joint name divorce can be done.
