The house in a New York divorce

New York divorces are handled in the State Supreme Court, and marital property, usually including the house, is divided under equitable distribution, which means fairly but not necessarily 50/50. Couples often agree in a settlement that the house will be sold and the net proceeds split, or the court may order a sale. Either way, both owners on the deed typically need to sign the sale contract and deed.

Why a direct sale can help

A traditional listing means agreeing on repairs, a list price, showing schedules and price reductions, which is hard when two people are separating. A written cash offer gives one clear number to take to your attorneys or mediator. There are no showings to coordinate, no repairs to argue about, and the closing date can match your agreement or court deadlines. Proceeds go through the closing attorneys, who can pay off the mortgage and distribute the balance as your agreement or order directs.

Things to sort out first

Check whether there is an automatic order in your case restricting the sale of assets without consent or court approval; New York divorces start with automatic orders. Confirm who is on the title and the mortgage. If one spouse still lives in the house, agree on a move-out date. We can work around all of that.

Discretion

No yard sign, no listing photos and no open houses. We speak with both parties or with your attorneys, whichever you prefer.

How the numbers usually work

At closing, the attorneys pay off the mortgage, any home equity line, taxes and closing costs. What is left is the net proceeds, which are divided according to your settlement or the court's order. Having a firm written offer early lets both sides and their attorneys see the real net before negotiating other parts of the settlement.

Frequently asked questions

Do both spouses need to agree to sell?

If both are on the deed, both normally sign. If not, your attorneys or the court will decide. Get legal advice first.

Can the proceeds be held until the divorce is final?

Often the closing attorney can hold funds in escrow per your agreement. Ask your lawyer.

Can one spouse still live there until closing?

Yes. We set the closing date to fit your plan.

Do you take sides?

No. We give the same written offer to both parties.
