Divorce is never easy. It’s an emotionally and financially challenging time, and one of the most complicated aspects can be deciding what happens to the family home.
Gary Raze of Lane County Listings with RE/MAX Integrity sat down to shed some light on this delicate topic, sharing insights and advice from his real estate experience.
“Divorce is never a happy time for anybody,” Gary says, “but having a plan of action can make things smoother.”
Why Selling the Home Is Often Recommended
According to Gary, attorneys will often recommend selling the home when a couple is going through a divorce. The primary reason? In most cases, one partner isn’t financially able to buy the other out. Even with emotional ties to the home—raising children there, building memories—practicality often takes precedence.
“There’s usually a lot of equity built up,” Gary explains. “And it’s difficult for one party to qualify to buy out the other side.”
Planning for a Smoother Transition
While the situation is never ideal, Gary emphasizes that it doesn’t have to be chaotic. With the right guidance and a structured plan, the process of selling a home during divorce can be more manageable.
To help clients navigate these moments, Gary even offers a helpful guidebook filled with tips and considerations—free of charge. It’s not about selling a product; it’s about providing clarity in a tough time.
Why Talking to a Real Person Matters
While it’s easy to do research online, nothing beats a personal conversation with someone who understands both the emotional and logistical aspects of the situation. “It’s really important to be able to talk one-on-one with somebody like Gary,” says host Randy. “It makes a huge difference.”
