Selling a Home During Divorce in Kyle & Hays County
Selling a home during a divorce is a financial decision and an emotional one. Kristin works with both parties neutrally, keeps communication clear and professional, and coordinates with each side's attorney so the sale follows what's been agreed or ordered.
Nothing here is legal advice. Your attorney guides the legal decisions; we handle pricing, preparing, marketing and closing the sale.
Common paths
- Sell the home and divide the proceeds as agreed or ordered
- One spouse keeps the home and buys out the other, usually by refinancing into their own name
- Keep the home jointly for a period, then sell
How we keep it smooth
- An accurate, documented market analysis both parties can rely on
- Equal, written updates to both parties (and attorneys when requested)
- A clear plan for showings, repairs and who handles what
- Coordination with the title company on signatures and how proceeds are disbursed
If one of you is keeping the home
A buyout usually depends on whether the spouse keeping the home can refinance on their own income. Dustin can review that early, so the plan in your agreement is one that can actually close.
Frequently asked questions
›Do both spouses have to sign to sell?
If both are on title, both typically sign the listing agreement and closing documents, unless a court order provides otherwise. Your attorney and the title company will confirm what's required.
›Is Texas a community property state?
Yes. How property is divided is a legal question for your attorneys and the court; we follow the agreement or order.
›Can you work with both of us?
Yes. Kristin keeps communication neutral and shares the same information with both parties.
