How We Help You Sell Your House Fast During Divorce in California

The legal process of selling a home during a divorce can be complicated, but understanding the steps can help. Knowing your rights, the division of ownership, and how the sale fits into the divorce settlement is crucial. Every situation is different, but we specialize in making the process simple. Whether your home is vacant, needs repairs, or one spouse lives out of town, we’ll handle the details so you don’t have to. From fair cash offers to flexible closing dates, we help you move on without the stress of listing, cleaning, or waiting for buyers.

1. Determining Ownership and Rights

The first step is identifying whether the home is community or separate property. At Stars and Stripes Real Estate, we can pull title reports to help you understand how your house is vested, so you can take the right next steps.

2. Agreeing to Sell:

Both parties must agree to sell unless the court orders it. Agreeing on the timeline and division of profits is vital to a smooth sale.

3. Appraising the Home’s Value:

We provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to assess the “as-is” value of your home. No repairs, agents, or inspections are needed, and the process takes less than 30 minutes.

​4. Preparing the Home for Sale:

With Stars and Stripes Real Estate, no cleaning, repairs, or yard work is required. We buy homes in as-is condition, simplifying the process for you.

5. Finalizing the Sale and Distributing Proceeds:

Once sold, the mortgage is paid off, and proceeds are divided as per the divorce settlement. If the divorce isn’t finalized, profits may be held in escrow.

Sell Your House During Divorce - Our Process

Selling your home through a traditional agent can be stressful — especially during a divorce. Repairs, showings, and months of waiting only add to the pressure. At Stars & Stripes Real Estate, we make it simple for California homeowners to sell your house during divorce without the headaches.

 


We buy homes as-is, with no fees, no agents, and no cleaning required. Our goal is to make your next step easy, fast, and completely transparent.

The Seller Contacts the BuyerInterested sellers can connect with cash home buyers and ask, “How do I sell my house in Southern California?” You can reach out by email, phone, or through their online form.

The Buyer Talks With the SellerThe buyer schedules a quick home inspection at the seller’s convenience. This visit is to evaluate the home’s current condition and offer a fair price.

The Buyer Makes a Cash OfferIf the property fits the buyer’s requirements, the buyer provides a guaranteed cash offer. This offer is free, and you don’t have to accept it unless you’re happy with the price.

The Seller Accepts the OfferIf you love the offer, you can accept the deal. The buyer handles all the rest, including the paperwork, closing fees, and other requirements. Cash sales are the best way to sell houses in Southern California.

What Does the Buyer Do With the Property?Generally, cash buyers repair, renovate, and resell or rent the property for a profit. The best part is that your rundown home is no longer your worry! The buyer handles it all.

Sell Your House During Divorce — Quick and Easy

Selling your house through a traditional agent can take months, cost thousands in repairs, and add stress when you’re already going through enough.

At Stars & Stripes Real Estate, we make it simple for California homeowners to sell your house during divorce — no cleaning, no repairs, and no agent fees.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.

Can I sell my house during divorce in California if one spouse disagrees?Yes, in most cases you can sell your house during divorce in California even if both parties don’t agree initially — though court or attorney involvement may be needed.

How is the equity split after the sale?Equity is split based on the divorce settlement. We offer fast cash sales to help you both receive your share quickly.

What happens to the mortgage after the sale?We’ll pay off the mortgage from the sale proceeds, and the remaining profits will be distributed accordingly.

 Are there any fees or commissions when you sell your house fast during divorce in California?
No — when you sell your house fast during divorce in California, there are zero fees or agent commissions.

How are you different from a traditional real estate agent?Real estate agents list properties and try to entice the right buyer into making an offer. Once the sale is made, they charge you a percentage of the price (which can be as high as 3-6% of the sale price of your house). If you have the time, patience, and money to sell with a traditional agent and possibly make more money on the list price, this route is for you. But if you would prefer a no-hassle sales experience, we can help. We don’t list houses, we are the ones buying the house from you. And because we pay with our own money we can make a decision to buy your property within a couple of days, no matter what the condition.

Do you pay fair prices for properties?When we purchase a house, we are looking to get a fair discount on the property. Many of the houses we purchase are below market value because they need expensive repairs or upgrades that the homeowners don’t have the time, energy, or money to make. Our clients come to us knowing they won’t get a large “windfall” for their house. Instead, they appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly with no waiting for financing, and they won’t have to pay any commissions or closing costs. If this sounds like the right option for you, contact us today. Let’s see if we can come up with a fair price that’s a win-win for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you will never be hassled to move forward with the offer, but it’s good to know what we’re offering!

Can I buy out my spouse’s share of the home?Yes, and we can help determine the home's current value with a Comparative Market Analysis, providing you with the information needed for a buyout.

Will selling the home affect my taxes?If the home is your primary residence, your tax burden may be significantly reduced. However, we recommend consulting a tax professional for personalized advice.

We are going through a divorce—can we still sell the house?Yes. Whether you’re both on the title or just one of you, we can help walk you through the process. We’ve worked with many couples in transition and always keep things respectful and fair to both sides.

We do not agree on what to do with the house—can you still help?Yes, and this is more common than you might think. We’ll never pressure either person, and we’re happy to speak with both parties separately or together to explore options and keep the conversation peaceful.

Will both of us need to sign the agreement?In most cases, yes—both legal owners will need to approve the sale. If there’s a dispute or legal restriction, we can still help you understand the path forward, and our legal partners can guide you through next steps.

Do we need to have the divorce finalized before selling?No. You can sell during or after the divorce process. In fact, many of our clients find that selling the home earlier makes everything simpler and less emotionally draining.

The house has a lot of memories and emotions attached. How do you handle that?We understand. Selling a home after a major life change is never just a transaction—it’s personal. We’ll give you space, explain every step, and make sure you never feel rushed or pushed. This is your timeline.

Only one of us is on the title—can we still sell?Yes, in many cases. If only one spouse is on title but the home is considered marital property, we can still move forward with the right documentation. We’ll walk you through what’s needed and work with your legal team if necessary.
