The situation
Selling the house because of a divorce
Selling a house in a divorce has its own set of problems. You can't even agree on a listing agent. Neither of you wants to sit through showings in the house you both still live in. The court calendar is moving whether you're ready or not. This is a different kind of sale.
One cash offer on the house as it stands today. No listing, no agent to agree on, no showings in a house you're both still living in. We close before your court date or on whatever date the two of you (and your attorneys) land on.
Wheaton local expertise
We know Wheaton.
Wheaton is a UP-West Metra town and DuPage County seat. Victorian and prairie housing in the older core, post-war ranches and 1970s-80s colonials farther out.
We buy sell a house in a divorce out in Wheaton, and across DuPage County in Illinois. One offer. One number. No agent to agree on.
No agent to agree on
That's the most common reason divorce-sale sellers call us. No listing, no agent, no commission split. One offer, one number. Both of you sign at closing — the title company can coordinate separate signings if your attorneys recommend it.
No showings
Nobody wants showings in a house they're both still living in. You don't have to. One walkthrough with us, one hour, by appointment. No listing photos, no open house, no foot traffic.
We take no side
We take no side. We handle both of you the same way. Your attorneys' instructions override ours. If one of you wants to talk and the other doesn't, fine. If both attorneys want us to route everything through them, we do that.
Illinois marital-property rules (750 ILCS 5) determine how the sale proceeds are split — that's your attorneys' territory. We give you a number, a contract, and a close date.
Questions
What Wheaton sellers ask us.
Can you close before our court date?
Name the date. If it's possible, we hit it. If it isn't, we tell you the week we can. Most divorce-sale closings land 30-60 days before a court deadline; we've moved inside 14.
We can't agree on a listing agent. Does this work for both of us?
That's the most common reason divorce-sale sellers call us. No listing, no agent, no commission split. One offer, one number. Both of you sign at closing.
Do both of us have to be there for the walkthrough?
No. One of you can handle it. We've done plenty of walkthroughs where only one spouse was present. We report back to both of you after.
How does signing work if we're not on speaking terms?
The title company can coordinate separate signings. You don't have to be in the same room, the same day, or the same city. Your attorneys tell us the protocol.
Can you work with our mediator or attorney?
Yes. That's routine for divorce sales. We work to the instructions your attorneys or mediator give us. If they need a specific contract term, ask.
What if one of us wants to sell and the other doesn't?
That's a decision your attorneys handle, not us. If the court orders the sale, we close when the order lands. If you're not there yet, call us when you are.
How are the proceeds split at closing?
Your attorneys decide. We cut the check per their written instructions. We don't make recommendations on split.
What about the mortgage in both names?
It gets paid off at closing from the sale proceeds. If the payoff is less than the sale price, the difference goes per your attorneys' split instructions. If the payoff is more (underwater), that's a short-sale conversation.
