Buying a Home After a Divorce
Your next home, on your timeline, with a search you can start today.
Your Next Home, On Your Timeline
Buying a home after a divorce is a fresh start, and it often comes with questions about timing and money that an ordinary purchase does not. I help you find the right home and buy it with confidence, at a pace that fits where you are in the process.
I can help each of you find a new home, or just one of you if the other is keeping the home you shared.
Talk to a Lender and Your Attorney Early
Two conversations make the search much smoother. Your attorney can tell you when you are free to buy and how the settlement affects it. A lender can tell you what you can borrow and which documents they will want to see, which may include your settlement paperwork.
I am not a lender or an attorney, and this page is not legal, tax or lending advice.
Finding the Right Home
Start with a saved home search: pick your areas, price and must-haves, and the homes show right away, with new ones coming to your inbox daily or weekly. From there I help you compare neighborhoods, communities and what each home really costs to own.
The home buying process page walks through every step from your first conversation to closing, and buying a home in Southwest Florida covers the market itself. If you are also selling a home you owned together, see selling a home during a divorce.
Get in touch or call (239) 300-1427. There is no obligation.
Frequently Asked Questions
When can I buy a home after a divorce?
That depends on your settlement and your financing, so ask your attorney and a lender. Once you know your timing and your budget, I can start the search right away.
Can I start looking before everything is final?
Yes. A saved home search lets you see what is available in your price range and areas, so you are ready to move when the timing is right.
Can you help me sell the home we owned together too?
Yes. I usually work with both spouses together on the sale, and I can help each of you find your next home afterward. See the selling a home during a divorce page for how the sale works.
