Sell a House During Divorce in Florida — Fast, Neutral, Cash
Sell a House During Divorce in Florida
When a Florida marriage ends, the marital home is usually the largest single asset — and the slowest to divide. Months of listings, showings, contractors, repair credits, and back-and-forth offers turn what should be a clean break into a drawn-out negotiation that keeps both spouses tied to each other.
Homeinc buys Florida homes during divorce — including contested ones — and closes in as little as 7 to 14 days. Cash hits a single escrow account, the title company splits it according to the marital settlement agreement (or court order), and both parties walk away. No realtor commission, no repairs, no showings, no months of co-managing a house neither spouse wants to live in anymore.

Why a cash sale fits divorce situations
Florida law treats most marital homes as equitable-distribution property — meaning the equity has to be divided fairly, even if title is in one spouse’s name. The faster and cleaner the sale, the cleaner the math.
Speed protects the timeline
A traditional listing takes 60-90 days. During that time you are still co-paying the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and HOA, and disagreeing about offers. A 7-to-14 day cash close removes the asset from the dispute and replaces it with a number that can be divided.
Neutrality matters
Homeinc deals with both spouses or with one spouse plus the divorce attorney — whichever the parties prefer. We do not advocate for either side. The offer is what it is, in writing, and either gets accepted or it does not.
No prep, no showings
You do not have to clean, stage, repair, or open the door to strangers while you are also moving out. We buy as-is.
Common divorce-related sale scenarios we handle
- Both spouses agree to sell — fastest scenario; we close on a date both attorneys approve
- One spouse wants to sell, the other wants to buy out — we make a fair-market offer that anchors the buyout discussion
- Court-ordered sale — we work directly with the appointed attorney or commissioner
- Spouse listed alone on title — only one signature needed if homestead requirements are satisfied
- House underwater — short-sale-friendly negotiation directly with the lender
- Spouses living separately, paying mortgage on a vacant house — we close fast to stop the bleed
- Out-of-state spouse who cannot travel for closing — we handle remote/mail-away closings
How the process works during divorce
1. Initial offer
Either spouse — or the divorce attorney — calls 888-850-2636 or fills out the form. We give a written cash offer within 24 hours, valid for 14 days so both attorneys have time to review.
2. Both signatures collected
A Florida marital home almost always requires both spouses to sign at closing, even if only one is on the deed. We coordinate the signatures, including remote notarization for out-of-state parties.
3. Single escrow disbursement
Proceeds go into one title-company escrow account. The marital settlement agreement (or court order) tells the title company how to split it — for example, 50/50 minus a credit for one spouse’s post-separation mortgage payments. The title company wires each party their share at closing.
4. Done
The house is no longer a shared problem. The proceeds are divided. Both parties move on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do both spouses have to agree to sell?
For a marital home, almost always yes — Florida’s homestead protection requires both signatures even if only one is on the deed. If one spouse will not cooperate, the court can order the sale, and we work with court-appointed attorneys regularly.
Can the offer help anchor a buyout amount?
Yes. Our written, no-fee cash offer is often used as a fair-market reference point for a buyout. If one spouse decides to keep the house, the other knows exactly what number they are negotiating against.
What if we have an open mortgage and very little equity?
We will still make an offer. If the house is underwater, we can pursue a short sale with the lender. The title company will pay the mortgage off first; whatever is left gets split.
Can the proceeds be split right at the closing table?
Yes. The title company follows the marital settlement agreement or court order — different wires to different accounts at closing. No need for a second meeting.
What if one of us lives out of state?
Florida title companies handle mail-away or remote-online-notary closings. The out-of-state spouse signs in front of a notary or remote agent and overnights or e-delivers the documents. Common and uncomplicated.
Is the offer confidential?
Yes. Our offers are sent only to the parties and attorneys you ask us to send them to. We do not list, advertise, or share the property.
