One number, one date, done
Why the house is the hardest part
Wisconsin is a marital property state, which generally means the home you bought together belongs to both of you and its value has to be divided in the divorce. That leaves three paths: one spouse buys the other out, you keep co-owning for a while, or you sell and split the proceeds. Buyouts need a new mortgage in one name; co-owning keeps two people who are separating tied to one mortgage, one roof and one set of decisions.
Selling is often the cleanest answer, but a traditional listing is a hard thing to run with someone you’re divorcing: agreeing on an agent and a price, keeping the house show-ready, negotiating inspection credits, and waiting two to four months while the mortgage keeps coming due and the attorneys keep billing.
A direct cash sale replaces all of that with one written offer, one walkthrough and a closing date you both choose. We work with both spouses and both attorneys, we don’t take sides, and the proceeds go to the title company to be split exactly as your agreement or the court directs.
Your options
How selling to us works when you’re divorcing
Either spouse reaches out
Tell us about the house and where the divorce stands. We’ll ask who is on the title and whether there’s a marital settlement agreement or court order about the house yet.
A written offer both of you can review
One number, with the math, sent to both spouses (and attorneys, if you like). No side deals.
Sign the purchase agreement
Both owners sign — electronically or with a mobile notary if you’re in different places. If a court order is needed to authorize the sale, we wait for it.
The title company prepares the split
Payoff of the mortgage and any liens, then proceeds divided per your agreement or the court’s order — the title company handles the disbursement, not either spouse.
Keys, signatures, separate wires
Each of you receives your share directly. The house stops being a shared problem.
What we handle so you don’t have to
- Communicating with both spouses and both attorneys, evenly
- Waiting for a settlement agreement or court authorization when one is required
- Mortgage and lien payoffs and a proceeds split handled by the title company
- All repairs and clean-out after closing — nobody has to fix up the marital home
- A closing date matched to the divorce timeline or a move
- Flexible possession if one spouse needs a little time to relocate
Not legal advice. How a home is divided in a Wisconsin divorce depends on your marital settlement agreement or the court’s judgment, and in some cases a sale during the proceedings needs both spouses’ written consent or a court order. Talk to your family-law attorney before signing anything, including our offer. We’re glad to work with them.
