    Divorcing? Sell the house on one agreed date

    When neither of you wants to keep the house, a neutral cash buyer turns it into a single number to divide — no months of showings while you're living apart.

    • No repairs
    • No fees or commission
    • Close in as little as 7 days
    • No obligation

    Quick answer

    SilverCrest Estates buys houses for cash from divorcing and separating couples, giving both spouses one written offer, a closing date they agree on, and proceeds the title company can split according to the settlement or court order.

    Is this you?

    This page is for you if…

    • You're separating and neither spouse wants the house
    • You both still owe on the mortgage
    • Showings and repairs would mean more conflict
    • A settlement or court order requires a sale

    Shared debt

    The mortgage ties you together until it's paid off.

    Endless decisions

    Repairs, price drops and offers all need two signatures.

    Emotion in every showing

    Strangers walking through a home you're leaving.

    How we help

    Four steps, start to finish

    1. 1

      One offer to both of you

      We send the same written offer to both spouses and attorneys.

    2. 2

      Agree on a date

      Pick a closing date that fits the settlement.

    3. 3

      Sign separately

      No need to be in the same room — separate or remote signing.

    4. 4

      Title divides the proceeds

      Per your settlement, divorce decree or written instructions.

    Why a neutral buyer reduces conflict

    A traditional listing asks two people who may barely be speaking to agree on a list price, repairs, every offer and every price cut. A cash offer asks one question: yes or no. That simplicity is often worth more than squeezing out the last dollar.

    Talk to your attorney first

    Who can sell, and how the money is divided, depends on your state's property laws and your case. Your family law attorney or mediator should review any sale. We'll provide whatever documentation they need.

    This page is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Laws and timelines differ by state. Talk to a licensed attorney, CPA or HUD-approved housing counselor about your specific situation.

    Questions

    What sellers ask us

    Often yes, if both owners agree and nothing in your case prevents it. Ask your attorney whether court approval is needed.

    Marital property rules may still give the other spouse rights. Title and your attorney will confirm who must sign.

    No. Each spouse can sign separately, including remotely.

    The title company follows your settlement agreement, decree, or joint written instructions.
