Alex keeps you both informed and follows the timeline in your agreement or court order.
Your agreement sets the rules. Alex runs the sale.
Florida divides marital property through equitable distribution. Whether the house is sold, how decisions get made, and how the proceeds are split usually come from your marital settlement agreement or a court order.
Your attorneys handle those terms. Alex handles the sale itself: pricing, marketing, showings, offers, and closing, the same way for both of you.
How a neutral sale stays fair
- Equal information.Both owners, or both attorneys if you prefer, get the same updates at the same time.
- A price from data.The price comes from comparable sales and condition, so neither side has to take the other’s word for it.
- Every offer to both.All offers go to both owners. If you disagree, the answer comes from your agreement or your mediator.
What if you owe more than it’s worth?
Divorce is one of the hardships lenders recognize in a short sale. If the sale won’t cover the mortgage, a short sale may still let you both move on.
Useful to share early
- The part of your settlement agreement or court order that covers the house.
- How each owner prefers to be contacted.
- Mortgage and HOA balances.
- Who is living in the home, and how showings could work.
- Any deadline for the sale.

Divorce sale questions
Do we both have to sign?
Usually, everyone on the title must sign the listing and the sale contract. If one spouse won’t cooperate, the attorneys and the court decide what happens next.
Can one of us live there while it’s listed?
Yes, that’s common. Showings are scheduled around whoever is living in the home.
Should we sell before or after the divorce is final?
It depends on your agreement, taxes, and finances. Ask your attorney and tax professional. The sale can work with either timeline.
General real estate information, not legal, tax, or financial advice.
