Real Example
A couple going through a divorce in Tampa had a house worth $250,000, but they owed $200,000. They couldn't agree on repairs, listing price, or staging. We bought it for $230,000. We bought it as-is. No repairs. No staging. No arguments. They closed in 25 days. They split the proceeds. They moved on.
The alternative? List it traditionally. Fight about repairs for months. Fight about listing price. Fight about every offer. Spend $5,000+ on repairs. Pay months of mortgage payments. Drag out the divorce process. All while the house becomes a battleground.
By selling to us, they avoided months of conflict, thousands in repair costs, and ongoing mortgage payments. They got cash. They split it. They moved on. Simple.
Selling During Divorce in Florida
Reference: Florida Statutes §61.075
- Florida follows equitable distribution (§61.075) — marital property is divided fairly, not necessarily 50/50.
- The marital home is typically the largest asset to divide — selling for cash provides a clean split with no ongoing disputes.
- Under §61.052, either spouse can initiate a dissolution of marriage, and the court can order the sale of the home to divide assets.
- A cash sale can close in 7–60 days, while traditional sales during divorce average 90–120 days due to competing interests and financing contingencies.
- The court can enter a temporary exclusive possession order under §61.071, but both spouses typically must agree to sell.
Legal Questions Specific to Your Situation
Can one spouse sell the house during a divorce?
Not unilaterally. Both spouses typically must agree to sell marital property. However, under §61.052, either spouse can request the court order the sale. Selling to a cash buyer simplifies this because both parties get a clear number quickly — no waiting for offers, inspections, or financing.
How is the house divided in a Florida divorce?
Florida uses equitable distribution (§61.075), which means the court divides marital assets fairly based on factors like each spouse's contribution, economic circumstances, and the duration of the marriage. Selling the house and splitting the proceeds is often the cleanest solution.
Florida sellers pay an average of 3.28% of sale price (excluding commissions) in closing costs — or 7–8% including agent commissions. The average total commission is 5.59% on average (typically split 2.81% for the listing agent and 2.78% for the buyer's agent). Since August 2024, sellers no longer must pay buyer agent commission — it's negotiable. Documentary stamps are $0.70 per $100 of sale price ($0.60 per $100 in Miami-Dade County, plus a $0.45 surtax for non-single-family properties). Title insurance rates are state-regulated: $5.75 per $1,000 for the first $100K, then $5.00 per $1,000 up to $1M.
