ANDY & PATTI · MAINE REAL ESTATE
A conversation is a good place to start.
A home sale during a separation can involve more than price and timing. There may be separate schedules, different priorities, belongings to divide, or uncertainty about what happens next.
We help organize the real estate work: understanding the property, discussing market value, planning showings, reviewing offers, and coordinating the path to closing. We’ll agree on how information is shared and work with the authorized decision-makers and their advisors.

How we help you move forward.
Separate pricing from emotion
We use comparable sales, property condition, and the current market to explain a pricing recommendation. A comparative market analysis is a broker’s opinion, not an appraisal.
Plan the practical transition
Think through occupancy, belongings, preparation, access, and closing coordination. We’ll help organize questions and decisions before they become last-minute problems.
BEFORE YOUR NEXT STEP
A few things to gather.
You do not need everything on this list before calling.
- Speak with your attorney about authority, restrictions, and agreements affecting a sale.
- Gather property, mortgage, and ownership information for the appropriate professionals.
- Discuss how showings and property updates will be communicated.
- Plan where belongings will go and how your next move fits the sale timeline.
DIVORCE & SEPARATION · FAQs
Questions you may be asking.
Can we sell before the divorce is final?
Ask your attorney what is permitted in your case and what approvals or agreements are needed. We can help with pricing and planning while the legal requirements are clarified.
Can you keep both owners informed?
We can establish a clear communication plan that fits our representation obligations and the instructions of the authorized parties. We’ll discuss that plan before beginning the sale process.
What if we disagree about the asking price?
We can explain comparable sales, condition, and market positioning to support an informed discussion. Your attorneys or other agreed professionals handle disputes or decisions that fall outside our brokerage role.
How are sale proceeds divided?
Your attorneys and closing professionals should address the applicable agreements, orders, and disbursement instructions. We do not decide how proceeds are divided.
Can we talk before we are ready to list?
Yes. An early, private conversation can help identify the property questions, preparation choices, and timing issues to take to the appropriate advisors.
