Divorce can be one of life’s most challenging experiences. When you add the task of selling your shared family home to the mix, the overwhelm only intensifies. You might find yourself asking, “How am I supposed to make clear, rational decisions when I’m feeling so much turmoil?” or even wondering, “Can any real estate agent handle my unique, high-stress situation?”
Selling your home during a divorce brings its own set of hurdles—from managing conflict with your spouse to dividing personal property to understanding the legal and financial ramifications of selling one of your largest assets. That’s exactly why having the right real estate expert on your side is so important. I want to share what makes my approach different and how you can make this process smoother during one of the most difficult chapters of your life.
What Is a CDRE, and Why Does It Matter?
Here’s a fact most people overlook: less than 1% of all realtors in the country hold the certification to become a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE). This means most agents haven’t been specifically trained to handle the complexities that arise during divorce-related real estate sales—particularly in high-conflict situations.
My CDRE training, paired with my personal experience of growing up in a family impacted by two high-conflict divorces, uniquely positions me to manage even the most complicated cases with fairness, empathy, and precision. My primary focus is ensuring both parties walk away feeling heard, respected, and supported.
As a neutral third party, I don’t take sides. My goal is to provide a systematic, transparent process that ensures fairness across the board. Whether you’re working with an attorney or not, I step in to streamline everything and negotiate the best possible terms for everyone involved.
