Augusta, ME · Kennebec County · Divorce sale
Can We Sell Our Augusta 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 for cash in Augusta and Kennebec County, Maine. You can talk with us before every practical disagreement is settled. The deed and any court orders still need review before closing; a title company can confirm required signatures, and your attorney can explain an order.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form beside this answer. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Share the address and what is happening with the house.
Avoid repairs, contractors, and public showings
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to hire contractors, agree on a repair list, or get the house ready for a run of public showings before asking for an offer.
Tell us about the house as it stands and what is making a regular sale difficult. A direct sale conversation lets you compare a written price without first coordinating repair work and a listing schedule.
Who can sign? Start with the deed and any court orders
The recorded deed is a starting point for seeing whose names are on the property record. Divorce papers or a court order may also affect how a sale can proceed. The title company reviews the documents and confirms what signatures closing requires; a Maine attorney can explain what an order means for your situation.
Do not assume that one person can sign for the other, or that a disagreement about repairs answers the ownership question. You can bring us the house and the practical problem while the right people review the documents.
Bring us the problem before every disagreement is settled
Different schedules, a house that is hard to show, or disagreement about repairs or contractors? Tell us what is happening. You can start a conversation before you have settled every detail of the sale plan.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. We only need the Augusta property address to start talking.
What happens next
Start with what you know about the property. You do not need to resolve the practical disagreements before asking for a written offer.
1. Tell us about the house
Share the Augusta address, the home's condition, who lives there, access or timing concerns, and anything you know about the deed or court papers. Start with what you have.
2. Review the written offer and terms
We discuss the house as-is and give you written terms before you commit. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
3. Confirm ownership and closing documents
The title company reviews the deed and documents relevant to the sale, then confirms which signatures are needed for closing. Ask your attorney what any divorce order means for the property.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
4. Review closing costs and sign
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes and your share of current property taxes are separate.
You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.
Signing from another location
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.

A written price is not the same as what remains after mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, repairs, and other costs. Use your own numbers to compare a direct sale with listing.
What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Sixty-six years old, widowed, and the house had more property taxes than I wanted to keep paying — $5,800 a year in NH on a fixed income. My son in Boston had been after me to move south. USA Home Buyers gave me a fair number, no open houses, no strangers in my house. Closed in eight days. I was in Massachusetts before spring.”
“My parents owned a house near the Millyard for 40 years. After my mother passed, my brother and I needed to settle the estate quickly — we both have jobs and families, neither of us lives in Manchester. USA Home Buyers had a written offer the next day and we closed in 11 days. The whole process was straightforward.”
“I relocated to Boston for work and had my Manchester house on the market for three months with an agent — two failed offers, one buyer who couldn't get financing. USA Home Buyers gave me a written number the next morning and we closed before my lease on the new apartment ran out.”
Questions about selling an Augusta house during divorce
Can we talk about selling before we agree on repairs or showings?
Yes. You can talk with us while those practical disagreements are still open. We buy houses as-is, so you do not need a repair or public-showing plan before starting the conversation. The deed and any court orders still need review before a sale can close.
Who needs to sign the sale papers?
The deed, any divorce-related court orders, and the closing documents matter. The title company can confirm which signatures are required for this property, and a Maine attorney can explain what an order means for your situation. Do not assume one person can sign for the other.
Can we sell before the divorce is final?
You can start a conversation about the house before the divorce is final. Whether and how a sale can proceed depends on the ownership documents and any applicable court orders, so have the title company review the documents and ask your attorney about the order.
Do we have to repair, clean, or empty the house first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to line up contractors or prepare the house for public showings before speaking with us.
Can we sign from 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.
Which closing costs do you pay?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes and your share of current property taxes are separate.
