Selling a house during a divorce in Tennessee

When a marriage ends, the house is often the largest shared asset and the hardest to divide. A quick, certain sale with a clear number can make the settlement simpler.

Things to know in Tennessee

  • If both spouses are on the deed, both generally must sign to sell. Your divorce attorneys or the court order will set how proceeds are split.
  • Proceeds can be held in escrow at the title company until the parties agree on the split.

What we can do

  • We give both owners the same written offer so there is one number to discuss.
  • We work with both attorneys and close on the date the agreement allows.

Options besides selling to us

  • If the house is market-ready and both parties can wait, listing usually brings more.
  • One spouse may be able to refinance and buy out the other.
