How do I sell the house when I’m going through a divorce?
Start by settling one thing: who speaks for the sale. Divorce sales go sideways when two people hand the agent conflicting instructions, so we set communication ground rules first. From there the work is normal — pricing, prep, showings — just handled with more privacy and less noise. Discretion isn't hiding; it's dignity. I keep both parties equally informed, route decisions through whatever your attorneys advise, and keep the house from becoming one more thing to fight about. The goal is a clean sale and a fair split at the lowest possible temperature. You don't have to be in the same room for any of it.
