REAL ESTATE SALE IN DIVORCE Divorces are rarely easy, very few end with zero disputes over major assets.

The biggest shared asset is real estate.

Whether the marital home or investment property. When selling, you need a Realtor that will communicate and remain neutral through the process. I work with spouses and attorneys.
