Batavia, NY seller help · Divorce sale
Can We Sell Our Batavia 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. You can talk with us about selling before you settle every repair, contractor, showing, or timing disagreement. The deed and any court order about the house still affect who can sign and whether the sale can close.

Share the address and what is happening with the house.
Skip the repair and showing plan
You do not have to repair, clean out, or hire contractors before asking us about an as-is sale. You can also avoid putting the house on the open market and coordinating public buyer showings. We still need to review the property, but you do not have to prepare it for a retail listing first.
Who can sign?
Start with the deed: it shows how the property is titled. Divorce papers or a court order about the house may affect what can happen next. The title company checks the deed and relevant documents, then confirms which owners or authorized signers need to sign the sale papers. If an order addresses the property or sale, ask your attorney and the title company to review it before anyone commits.
You can start a conversation with us while those questions are being sorted out. You do not have to guess what a court paper means or resolve every practical disagreement before asking about the house.

What happens next
1. Tell us about the house
Share the Batavia address, the condition, who lives there, what access is possible, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know; you do not need every answer before you call.
2. Review a written offer
We discuss the house as it stands. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
3. Confirm the documents and closing details
The title company reviews ownership, required signatures, and the closing documents. Your attorney can explain how any divorce agreement or court order applies. The written terms come before you commit.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
That does not pay mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those remain separate settlement items.
Signing from another location
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 the closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. This does not pay mortgage balances, liens, back taxes or your share of current property taxes.
What should we have ready before we contact you?
Start with what you know about the address, condition, occupancy and timing. If you have the deed or court papers handy, you can mention them, but you do not have to settle every issue before starting the conversation.
