For anyone, divorce can be a messy, difficult, and struggling experience. So much of how it goes depends on your individual circumstances. It's difficult enough to separate two lives, especially when children are involved. But throw in a house and a plan for what to do with it, and you've got a recipe for disaster. Selling a home during divorce may appear presumptuous to some, but it can often be a way for both parties to help start a new chapter. It could also be a condition of the agreement. There are ways to sell your house quickly during a divorce for a variety of reasons. Better Off Home Buyers will share a few pointers to help you sell your home quickly.

1. UNTANGLE YOURSELF. Before you put your house on the market, make sure both sides of the divorce have gone over all of the financial and legal issues that surround the property. Before you do anything else, you'll need to get those sorted out. You don't want to start targeting buyers only to discover that one side doesn't have all of the information.

If you purchased the house with a joint mortgage, both of you will be responsible for making sure it's paid off. That means one person cannot (or, at the very least, should not) make decisions without consulting the other. You should also be clear on both sides about the house's total value, any upgrades that were made and paid for, both parties' tax concerns, personal effects, and anything else that might belong to or be favored by one person.

This is why you should seek advice from a lawyer who specializes in these types of cases as well as tax experts who can walk you through all of the potential pitfalls and problems that may occur when selling your home. You may not be up to date on the latest tax code, and you don't want to sell your home in a way that causes one or both of you financial hardship when it comes time to pay your taxes.

2. Don't Get Angry About the Little Things. When it comes to selling a home, there are a lot of small details to consider that are difficult to see or understand from the outside. However, now is the time to have these discussions rather than later, particularly if the divorce proceedings are still ongoing.

You should be asking difficult questions such as: "Who is going to preserve the house until it is sold?", or "Who is responsible for paying the mortgage or HOA dues?", or "Who is responsible for keeping the power on?".

You also must seek clarification about who will be the owner of the furniture and other personal items inside. Make sure you've completed an inventory so that both parties understand who is responsible for what. If a discussion between the two of you is too difficult, don't be afraid to bring in your lawyers.

If you're going to sell the house on the open market, you'll also need to talk about what needs to happen to it before it goes on the market. Is there anything that needs to be fixed before it can be listed? Is it going to be occupied while it's on the market? Who is in charge of maintenance? Who is your real estate agent's point of contract? Will one of you or both of you, be a part of the negotiations? These aren't easy questions to ask, but you'll need to ask them if you want to avoid more problems down the road.

3. Recognize Your Worth. If you're trying to sell a house quickly during a divorce, you'll need to know exactly how much it's worth on the market. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. You can get an assessment based on the market value from your real estate agent. A property appraiser can provide you with an appraisal (for which you will be charged). Alternatively, you can make an educated guess based on recent home sales in your area. Keep in mind the house's condition, the total count of bedrooms and bathrooms, the total square footage, and how much the particular locations matter.

4. Use a Lien as a Backstop. If either the husband or wife appears to be more willing to take part in being the person in charge than the other, and the other spouse simply wants to be removed from the situation, there is something you can do to make everything legally accountable. It's known as divorce lien. In essence, one person retains control of the house's decisions while the other receives a deed of trust ensuring that they will receive an agreed-upon share of the post-sale profit. It's worth noting that the person who holds the lien relinquishes control over how the house is sold. If both parties are in agreement, the process can be greatly accelerated because you won't have to go back and forth as much.

5. Create an Offer Strategy. If you end up putting your house on the market, you'll need to come to an agreement on how to handle offers, negotiations, and contracts. When offers start to come in, you'll either want to have a very clear strategy or system in place so that the two sides or their legal representatives can communicate clearly. Once proposals start rolling in, you'll either want to have a very specific plan or system that works so that the two sides or their legal counsel can communicate clearly.

It's easier said than done to have a lot of conversations about finances and home sales during a divorce. That's especially true if your divorce becomes acrimonious or ugly, and you can't communicate with each other. There may not be much time for discussions, and you may want to sell your house as soon as possible so you can both move on. Consider selling the house to a cash buyer like Better Off Home Buyers in that case.

Better Off Home Buyers will buy your house in any condition or financial situation. Simply tell them that you'd like to sell your house quickly. They'll inspect the house and make a reasonable cash offer. If you accept, you can choose how quickly you want to sell, even if it's only a few days. You get to walk away with money in your pocket, and you can complete at least one part of the process without any hassles. It's an excellent way to sell a house quickly during a divorce so you can concentrate on other matters.
