California Divorce Real Estate

Thinking of Divorce? An RCS-D^TM REALTOR®, Real Estate Divorce Specialist Can Help You Before it is Too Late. Divorce Your House Before It Is Too Late!

If you are thinking of divorcing your spouse, or have a friend or family member who is, you need to work with a Divorce Real Estate Specialist.  I am RCS-D^TM REALTOR® Real Estate Divorce Specialist in California, whose specialty is to advise homeowners during a divorce and help you get through the minefield that divorce can present to your largest asset, your house.  I work with both spouses to make sure when the final decree is presented, you are not only divorced from your marriage but also divorced financially. 

Before you divorce your spouse, you need to divorce your house. Surprisingly, most divorce attorneys don’t understand the financial pitfalls waiting for you in dividing your real estate. They don’t understand how to divide real estate to truly make it equitable for both parties and prevent dangers that can affect a FICO score for up to 10 years, if one is forced into bankruptcy. They don’t have experience and skills to uncover issues hidden from one spouse that could damage the credit of the other spouse.

It’s never a good idea to try to keep the family home during and after a divorce.  It is easier to help homeowners before they sign the settlement. Once you sign that agreement it’s a binding contract and it is often too late to avoid catastrophe. 

The family home is usually the most valuable asset in divorce. You must know how to deal with your house during a divorce.

To protect your rights NOW, you need a real estate agent specializing in divorce, an RCS-D^TM REALTOR^®. RCS-D^TM stands for Real Estate Collaborative Specialist-Divorce.

RCS-D^TM REALTORS^® are specially trained to neutralize divorce real estate as a business transaction, in the best interest of the house and each divorcing spouse.

Whether your divorce is completed, just beginning or somewhere in between, an RCS-D^TM REALTOR^®, Divorce Real Estate Specialist can help you determine your best options now for a fair property settlement and a stronger financial future.

Divorce-related real estate is driven by necessity, not the market.

With the national divorce rate around 50%, the family home remains one of the most valuable assets, that typically must be sold.

Additionally, and more importantly, NOT selling the house during a divorce is among the riskiest divorce options regarding the marital home.

Where one spouse retains the house post divorce, either or both spouses risk significant, adverse exposure from: liens/clouded title, mortgage/consumer credit decline, default/foreclosure, bankruptcy, and other potentially devastating post-divorce financial/standard of living issues.

Real Estate Collaborative Specialists - Divorce^TM Successfully selling the former family home at any time, especially in a slow market, requires a multi-faceted, proactive approach.

Divorce Real Estate Specialists examine the legal, financial and emotional interaction between disposition of the former family home and issues of: marital/separate property, title/joint tenancy, real property and other assets; valuation of property; calculation of current and future house equity; capital gains and other tax and deduction issues; post-divorce standard of living, collaboration -professional cooperation for mutual gain (time/effort/money) and emotional closure.

To ensure we sell your home in shortest time for the most money we use the latest in strategic home preparation featuring Condition (home inspection, home repair, home improvement) and Presentation (decluttering, depersonalizing, strategic cleaning, home staging, etc.) through detailed case studies featuring before/after photos.

Completion of the RCS-D^TM Designation course is essential for agents to successfully represent the seemingly separate interests of divorcing homeowners. This is especially true given such sellers are potentially at odds with the sale and each other.

Divorce Real Estate Specialists have learned proactive skills, strategies and techniques that include: using the “best interest of the house” standard, reframing objections reassuringly and converting separate positions to mutual, interest-based objectives.

What you don't know during your divorce will damage you even more, after the divorce.
Major mistakes in divorce real estate are preventable before and during your divorce but are not fixable after your divorce.

These costly mistakes often result in damaged credit, mortgage default, foreclosure and even bankruptcy. Mistakes that ruin finances, families and futures, for years after divorce. There are countless individuals who regret the mistakes they have made because nobody seems to know how to help individual with their biggest asset, real estate.

Because such financially critical mistakes are preventable but not fixable, our solution is simply to do more earlier: more due diligence and information from more real estate and financial experts much earlier in your divorce process.

And the best time to protect your post-divorce credit is during the divorce process, for a stronger financial future.
