Can We Sell Our Ann Arbor House During a Divorce?
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Washtenaw County. You can ask for a written cash offer and decide whether it works for you. The deed and any court order can affect who signs and how a sale proceeds, so those papers are checked separately before closing.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You can start the conversation before every practical disagreement is settled.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Share the address and what is happening with the house.
Skip repair planning, contractors, and public showings
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
A direct sale lets you discuss the house without first arranging contractor visits, repair bids, cleaning, or repeated public showings. That can take those practical jobs off the list while you work through the ownership and paperwork questions.
Who can sign depends on the deed and any court order
Start with the recorded deed: it shows whose names are on the ownership record. Washtenaw County's Clerk / Register of Deeds is the local office for deed and land-record context.
If a divorce agreement or court order mentions the house, a sale, or the proceeds, have the title company review the papers and ask a Michigan family-law attorney what the order means for your situation. The documents—not marital status alone—tell the closing team what signatures and steps need to be addressed.
Bring us the part that is hard
You do not have to settle every disagreement before you call. Tell us what is getting in the way—different schedules, repair plans, access, showings, or signing from somewhere else. We can talk about the house as it stands while the deed and any court papers are being reviewed.

Ann Arbor divorce-sale questions
Can we talk about selling before every disagreement is settled?
Yes. You can call or use the form to talk about the Ann Arbor house before you have settled every repair, contractor, showing, or scheduling question. The deed and any court order still need to be reviewed to confirm what is needed before closing.
Who can sign for the house?
Start with the recorded deed and any divorce agreement or court order that addresses the house. A title company can review the ownership record and closing requirements; a Michigan family-law attorney can explain what an order means for your situation.
Do we have to repair the house or arrange showings first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can talk with us about the house as it stands instead of arranging contractor visits or preparing it for public listing showings first.
Can we sign separately if we are in different places?
You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you. Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
Who pays closing costs, and what is separate?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. A mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate items. Review the settlement figures with the closing team.
When will we get a written offer?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
