Columbus, Ohio seller help / Divorce sale
Can We Sell Our Columbus 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 Columbus and Delaware, Fairfield, and Franklin counties, Ohio. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Tell us what is making the sale difficult; you do not have to agree on repairs, contractor plans, or showings first.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to ask about a cash offer.

Tell us about the house and what is happening.
Skip repair work and contractor coordination
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can discuss the house as it stands without arranging repair bids, coordinating contractors, or preparing for public showings.
Who can sign depends on the deed and court papers
In Ohio, a divorce court can divide marital and separate property under Ohio Revised Code § 3105.171. The deed and any order about this house still matter to who can sign and how the sale can proceed. We review seller authority with the title company, which confirms the documents and signatures needed for closing. An Ohio family-law attorney can explain what an order means for your situation.
