Can We Sell Our Madison House During a Divorce?

Skip the repair and showing campaign
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. You can talk with us about access to the Madison house without first arranging contractors or a public listing schedule.
Who can sign? Start with the deed and any court order
In Wisconsin, the deed, marital-property rules, and any court order about the home can affect who may sell it. We review seller authority, title, payoff, occupancy, and applicable court papers with the title company, which confirms the documents and signatures needed to close. A Wisconsin family-law attorney can explain what an order means for your situation.
You can talk with us about the house while those details are being reviewed; every disagreement does not have to be settled before the first conversation.
Bring us the problem before every detail is settled
If repairs, contractors, showings, access, or timing are where you disagree, bring that problem to us. We can talk through the house and a direct-sale path before every detail is settled.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above to start the conversation.
