Can We Sell Our Bettendorf 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. We buy houses as-is in Bettendorf and Scott County, Iowa. You can talk with us before every practical disagreement is settled.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to tell us what is happening with the house.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Takes 2 minutes. No obligation.
Skip repairs, contractors, and showings
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can talk about the house as it stands instead of arranging repairs, booking contractors, or preparing for buyer showings.
Who can sign the sale papers?
The deed shows whose names are on the property. Iowa Code § 598.21 lets a court divide property in a dissolution case. A court order about the house can affect who can sell and which signatures are needed. We review the deed and any court order with the title company; an Iowa family-law attorney can explain what an order means for your situation.
Read Iowa Code § 598.21 on property division in a dissolution case.

1. Tell us about the house
Share the Bettendorf address, the house's condition, who has access, and what is making a regular sale difficult. Start with what you know.

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.

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.
4. Review closing figures and close
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

What our sellers say
“My divorce was already complicated enough. The last thing I needed was months of showings and price negotiation fights with my ex. We both agreed to a cash sale, and USA Home Buyers made it simple. Offer in 24 hours, closed in 10 days. Proceeds split at closing, done.”
