Sell your home in foreclosure

Divorce is the second most common reason homeowners sell their homes, after job relocation, according to the National Association of Realtors. The marital home is typically the largest shared asset — with the average U.S. home equity at $305,000 according to CoreLogic — making its disposition one of the most consequential financial decisions during divorce. Traditional home sales during divorce are complicated by dual-party decision making, ongoing mortgage obligations, and the emotional difficulty of hosting showings. Premium Cash Buyers offers a faster, simpler alternative: a fair cash offer, flexible closing timeline, and direct coordination with both parties and their legal counsel.

Selling a marital home during a divorce involves court orders, equitable-distribution rules, and (often) attorney sign-off on the closing settlement. Talk to a licensed family-law attorney in your state before signing any sale agreement — including any cash offer. The links below go to each state’s family-court self-help center plus the state-bar legal-aid finder for low-income spouses.

Divorce & Property Sale FAQs

Can we sell if we are still legally married?

Yes, you can sell your home jointly during the divorce process. According to the National Association of Realtors, approximately 750,000 homes are sold as part of divorce proceedings annually in the United States. Both spouses can agree to accept a cash offer, and the proceeds are divided according to your divorce agreement or court order. Premium Cash Buyers works with both parties and their attorneys to ensure a smooth, equitable transaction. Our cash process is particularly advantageous during divorce because it eliminates the 45-90 day listing period — during which both parties must maintain the property, continue mortgage payments, and coordinate showings while navigating an already stressful situationl work with both spouses or attorneys as needed.

What if one spouse does not want to sell?

We can still provide a cash offer for discussion or coordinate with legal counsel if needed. We have worked with difficult divorces before.

Do we both need to be present to sign?

No. We coordinate remote signings, and often work with title companies or attorneys to split proceeds and handle signatures independently.

Can we sell even if we are fighting over the home?

Yes. In some cases, the house is the main point of conflict. A neutral sale to a cash buyer can resolve disputes quickly and fairly.

Will we pay any fees or commissions?

No. You pay no agent fees or closing costs when selling to Premium Cash Buyers.

Can we split the money from the sale?

Absolutely. We distribute proceeds as instructed - 50/50 or per your legal agreement.

How do we start?

Just reach out — together or separately. We will evaluate the home and provide a respectful, fast cash offer.

Why a Cash Sale Makes Sense When Going Through a Divorce

Divorce creates an urgent need to divide shared assets, and a jointly owned home is often the largest and most complicated asset to split. Listing a home on the open market during a divorce can take months, requiring both parties to agree on pricing, repairs, showings, and offers — adding stress to an already difficult situation. A cash sale allows both spouses to receive their share of the equity quickly and move on with separate financial fresh starts. Because there are no agent commissions or repair costs deducted from the sale, both parties typically walk away with more than they would through a traditional listing.

With Premium Cash Buyers, the process is straightforward. You contact us with basic details about your property — the address, approximate condition, and your preferred timeline. Our team evaluates your home using local market data and comparable recent sales. Within 24 hours, you receive a written cash offer with no obligation to accept. If you agree, we coordinate closing through a licensed local title company. You choose the closing date, anywhere from seven days to sixty days out. There are no agent commissions, no closing costs charged to you, and no requirement to make repairs before selling.

We operate across Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Georgia. Whether your property is a single-family home, duplex, townhouse, condo, or vacant land, we can make an offer. Our team has helped over 100 homeowners close cash sales in the past 12 months, and every transaction is handled by experienced professionals who understand both the legal and emotional complexities of selling a home under difficult circumstances.

If you are ready to explore your options, request a free, no-obligation cash offer or call us directly at (901) 910-0101. There is no pressure to accept, and the consultation is completely free.
