Can We Sell Our University City 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 University City houses as-is. You can talk with us before every divorce detail is settled; we can discuss the house and what is making a sale difficult.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form beside this answer. Start with what you know about the house.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Takes 2 minutes. No obligation.
Avoid repairs, contractors, and a showing schedule
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You do not have to arrange repair crews or prepare the house for listing visits before you talk with us. We can schedule a visit to see the house and work around the schedules that are difficult to coordinate.
Who can sign the sale papers?
The deed and any divorce order about the house are the starting point. Missouri law lets a divorce court divide marital property, and an order about the house can affect who signs and what needs to happen before a sale. We can review the deed and order with the title company and work through the sale papers with you.
Not sure what the order means for the house? Call us — we can talk through the sale with you and your attorney.
Bring us the problem before everything is settled
Different schedules, a disagreement about repairs, or questions about the deed or a court order? Tell us what is going on. We can discuss the house and a possible sale before every disagreement is resolved.

What happens next
1. Tell us about the house
Start with the University City address and what is making a regular sale difficult. Tell us what you know about the deed or court papers; you do not need every document in front of you before you call.
2. Review the written offer and terms
We discuss the house and a possible as-is sale. 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.
3. Work through title and closing details
We review the deed, relevant court papers, and sale signatures with the title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
4. Review costs and settlement figures
We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
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.
5. Sign from different places
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.

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.”
