Can We Sell Our Mehlville 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 in the Mehlville area. Tell us what is happening with the house; you can talk with us before every disagreement is settled.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. Start with what you know about the house.
Skip repairs, contractors, and a listing schedule
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
A regular listing can mean arranging repair work, meeting contractors, and planning buyer visits. You can avoid managing a listing's showing schedule; we talk with you about a time to see the house.
Who can sign the sale papers?
The deed shows whose names are on title. Missouri generally presumes property acquired during marriage is marital property, even if only one spouse is named on the deed; exceptions apply. A divorce judgment or another court order can affect the house or sale proceeds. Read Missouri Revised Statutes § 452.330 for the state rule.
We review the deed and any order about the house with the title company, which confirms the documents and signatures needed for closing. A Missouri family-law attorney can explain what an order means for your situation. Not sure who needs to sign? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
Bring us the problem before it is settled
If repairs, access, timing, or the house papers are where things are getting stuck, tell us what is happening. You can talk with us before you and your spouse have agreed on every detail.

What our sellers say
