Can We Sell Our Portsmouth 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 every divorce issue is settled. We buy houses as-is in Portsmouth and Scioto County, Ohio. The deed and any applicable court orders may affect what signatures the title company needs before closing.

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You do not have to settle every repair or showing question before you talk with us.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

Share the address and what is happening with the house.

Keep repairs, contractors, and showings out of the discussion

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

A regular listing can mean coordinating repair choices, contractor schedules, cleaning, and showings. With a direct sale, you can discuss the house as it stands instead of organizing that work before you contact us.

Who can sign depends on the deed and court papers

The deed shows whose names are on title. A divorce decree or other court order may also affect the sale. The title company reviews those documents to confirm what signatures are needed for closing. An Ohio family-law attorney can explain how an order applies to your house.

Bring us the problem before everything is settled

Different schedules, a house that is hard to show, or a repair disagreement? Tell us what is getting in the way; you can start talking before every disagreement is resolved.

    Review the settlement figures with the closing team. The documents and your specific circumstances determine what appears in the final figures.
