Selling a House During Divorce As-Is Is Simple and Private
Divorce is hard enough. Getting the house sold shouldn’t add stress. Sonoma Home Buyers gives you a fair, written cash offer within 24 hours of a quick walk-through, so you can sell as-is and move forward. You can sell without repairs, showings, or weeks of unnecessary back-and-forth.
Fastest close: as little as 14 days, on your timeline.
Costs: No commissions or hidden fees on a direct sale. We cover *standard closing costs.
*City or county transfer taxes may apply.
Local people. Honest help. A clean break.
What We Solve in Divorce Sales
- One party wants to sell, the other wants a quick exit
- Different move-out timelines or privacy concerns
- Behind on payments or worried about missed mortgage dues
- Repairs needed (roof, foundation, termites, outdated systems) but no one wants to manage contractors
- Whole house of belongings? Please take what you want, and we’ll handle the rest
- Out-of-area spouse or limited availability to meet
For your peace of mind, we maintain neutral, professional communication, coordinate with both parties (and their attorneys, if necessary), and route paperwork through a reputable local title/escrow company.
We’re not attorneys and don’t provide legal advice. However, we work smoothly alongside your counsel and escrow to keep the sale compliant.
Why a Direct, As-Is Sale Helps During Divorce
- No showings or open houses during a sensitive time
- No repairs, clean-up, or staging — we buy the home as-is after a quick walk-through
- Certain timeline: close in ~2–3 weeks, or set a later date that works for both of you
- Simple paperwork: e-sign available; separate communications as requested
- Transparent numbers: we explain every line of the offer
If we believe a traditional listing would clearly net you more without adding stress, we’ll tell you.
How We Price (Plain and Simple)
- After-repair value (ARV): what similar nearby homes sell for
- Repair estimate: realistic costs to bring the home to market standards
- Holding/resale costs: taxes, insurance, utilities, and risk while we prepare the property
- Reasonable margin: what we need to make the project work
Most importantly, you’ll see the math behind the offer. No bait-and-switch. No last-minute deductions.

Quick FAQs for Divorce Home Sales
Q: Do both parties need to sign?
A: In most cases, yes. Title/escrow will guide who must sign based on how the property is vested and any court orders.
Q: Can you communicate with us separately?
A: Yes. We can coordinate separate calls/emails, loop in attorneys if requested, and keep communication neutral.
Q: Do we need to finish repairs first?
A: No. We buy as-is after a quick walk-through. This means no repairs, staging, or showings for our clients.
Q: What if the mortgage is behind?
A: Past-due amounts are typically paid from sale proceeds at closing. You shouldn’t need to bring cash to the table.
Q: How fast can we close?
A: As fast as 14 days once the title is clear and the required signatures are in. Many choose 7–21 days, or a later date that fits both schedules.
