3 Tips for Divorcing Parents Selling Their Home

3 Tips for Divorcing Parents Selling Their Home

Selling a home during a divorce isn’t exactly a walk in the park—it can get emotional, messy, and feel like a logistical marathon, especially when kids are in the mix. But with the right mindset and a solid plan, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here are three tips to help you keep your sanity (and your sense of humour) while navigating the process:

1. Get on the Same Page (or at Least the Same Chapter)

Before you even think about listing, sit down and hammer out the details with your co-parent. Agree on the sale price, how showings will work, and who’s going to handle realtor communication. Think of it as a “business meeting”—because nothing kills a deal like squabbling over who forgot to tell the realtor the time of the last soccer practice. The smoother you work together, the quicker you can move on to your new chapters.

2. Make the Kids Your Top Priority

Selling the family home can be a tough pill for kids to swallow, so keep their routines as steady as possible. School schedules, dance lessons, and bedtime stories shouldn’t get lost in the shuffle of packing and showing. And hey, if your kids suddenly become master critics of your home’s “vibe” during showings, maybe channel their insights into your marketing strategy—it’s all about adaptability!

3. Work with a Rockstar Realtor

Let’s face it—selling a home during a divorce requires someone who can juggle logistics, navigate emotions, and act as a neutral third party (read: no taking sides). A realtor who’s been there, done that with divorcing couples can help keep things professional and stress-free. Bonus points if they can make you laugh when things get tense—it’s all about finding someone who’s got your back.

Selling your home during a divorce might not be easy, but with clear communication, a focus on what matters most, and a stellar realtor in your corner, you’ll be ready to move on to the next phase of your life. If you’re looking for someone who’s been through the trenches of divorce real estate and knows how to make it work, let’s chat. We’ve got this—together.
