What questions should I ask a realtor when selling a home during divorce?

Ask about their experience with divorce sales, how they handle communication when spouses have different priorities, and whether they have worked with court-ordered deadlines. Ask how they manage showing schedules and pricing decisions when two parties need to agree. The right agent should be neutral, patient, and experienced with sensitive situations.

What are red flags when hiring an agent for a divorce sale?

Red flags include agents who take sides or seem uncomfortable with the situation, those who have never handled a divorce sale, agents who cannot explain how they would manage communication between two parties, and those unfamiliar with court-ordered sale requirements or settlement deadlines.

Q: How do I find an agent who can work professionally with both spouses?

Search for agents experienced with divorce sales who can act as a neutral party. Ask how they communicate when spouses are not speaking directly, how they handle disagreements on pricing or offers, and whether they have experience with attorneys involved in the transaction. Look for agents who emphasize professionalism and discretion.
