Selling a House During a Divorce
» No Repairs. No Fees. We Pay the Closing Costs.
WE WANT TO MAKE YOU A CASH OFFER ON YOUR HOUSE!
When a marriage ends, the house is often the biggest thing to decide on. Keeping it may not be realistic, and listing it means months of showings, repairs and decisions you both have to agree on. We’re a local, family-owned company that buys houses for cash in Spokane, Coeur d’Alene and the Tri-Cities. We give you one clear offer, and you both pick the closing date.

Who this is for
- You and your spouse have agreed to sell and want it done simply.
- One of you has already moved out and you’re both paying for a house neither wants.
- The house needs repairs and you can’t agree on who pays for them.
- Your attorney or mediator has said the house needs to be sold by a certain date.
How we help
A cash sale takes a lot of the friction out of selling. There are no repairs to split, no showings to coordinate, no price cuts to argue about, and no waiting to see if a buyer’s loan gets approved. We buy as-is, there are no fees or commissions, and we pay the closing costs.
We’ll give both of you the same offer and the same information, so nobody feels left out. The title company then pays out the proceeds at closing based on the instructions you, your attorneys or your court orders give them.
How it works in 3 steps
- Reach out. Either of you can fill out the form or call. We’ll ask about the house and your timeline.
- Get one fair offer. We look at the house and recent sales nearby and usually make an all-cash offer within 24 hours. No obligation, and you can share it with your attorneys.
- Close on the date you choose. In as little as 7 days, or later if one of you needs time to move.

Selling to us vs. listing during a divorce
| Selling to Backyard Home Buyers | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Decisions you have to agree on | One offer and one closing date | Repairs, staging, list price, price cuts, offers |
| Showings | None | Ongoing, often while one of you still lives there |
| Repairs | None, we buy as-is | Often needed, and someone has to pay for them |
| Commissions and fees | None. We pay the closing costs | Commission, plus the seller usually pays some closing costs |
| Price | A fair cash price for the house as it is | Often higher for updated homes |
If the house is updated and you work well together, listing may bring more. If you want the simplest, quickest path, compare our offer first.
Washington and Idaho notes (general, not legal advice)
Washington and Idaho are both community property states, which affects how a house bought during the marriage is usually treated. In most cases, everyone on the title signs the sale, and a court order or settlement may say how and when the house is sold and how the money is split. Every divorce is different. Confirm with your title company or attorney before you sign anything.
Where we buy
We buy houses throughout Spokane and Spokane County, Coeur d’Alene and Kootenai County, and the Tri-Cities.

Divorce home sale FAQs
Do both spouses have to agree to sell the house?
Usually everyone on the title has to sign the sale, and a court order may also apply. Confirm with your title company or attorney.
Can we sell the house before the divorce is final?
Many couples do, but it depends on your case and any court orders. Confirm with your title company or attorney first.
How is the money from the sale split?
The title company pays out the proceeds at closing based on written instructions from both of you, your attorneys, or a court order. We don’t decide how it’s divided.
Do we both have to be at the closing?
Not necessarily. The title company can often arrange separate signing times or a mobile notary, so you don’t have to be in the same room.
Can one of us keep living there until closing?
Yes. You choose the closing date, and you can ask about a rent-back if someone needs to stay a little longer.
