Divorce is never easy. Beyond the emotional toll, it often comes with difficult financial and logistical decisions—one of the biggest being what to do with the family home. Whether you're looking to sell, buy out your spouse’s share, or start fresh in a new space, working with a real estate agent who understands the nuances of divorce can make the journey far less overwhelming.
At Victoria Fung Real Estate, we’re not just here to help you buy or sell—we’re here to support you through life’s transitions with professionalism, discretion, and care.
Why You Need a Divorce-Savvy Real Estate Agent
When emotions are high and finances are being divided, you need more than just a traditional agent. A divorce real estate agent brings:
1. Neutral Representation
Divorce can introduce conflict, especially when both parties have different goals. A specialized agent maintains neutrality, ensuring clear communication, fair negotiation, and balanced advocacy for both spouses—if working jointly.
2. Experience with Legal and Financial Timelines
We understand how court dates, separation agreements, and legal timelines affect when and how a property can be sold or transferred. We’ll coordinate closely with your lawyer or financial advisor to align the process with your legal obligations.
3. Discretion and Privacy
Divorce is personal. Your privacy and emotional well-being are priorities. Every step—from showings to negotiations—is handled with the utmost discretion and sensitivity.
Your Options for the Family Home
If you’re navigating a separation or divorce, here are the most common options for real estate:
Sell the Home and Divide the Proceeds: This is often the cleanest solution and allows both parties to start fresh.
Buy Out Your Spouse’s Share: If one party wishes to keep the home, refinancing and purchasing the other half is possible—if financially feasible.
Co-Own Temporarily: Some couples agree to keep the home jointly for a period, such as until children finish school.
We’ll walk you through each scenario, helping you weigh the pros and cons based on your financial goals, emotional needs, and long-term plans.
A Calm Voice During a Stressful Time
My role is to provide clarity when things feel chaotic. I’ll manage the real estate process from end to end, including:
Providing a market analysis and home valuation
Creating a tailored marketing plan
Coordinating with both parties (and lawyers if needed)
Guiding you through paperwork and timelines
Helping you find a new home, if desired
You're Not Alone—Let’s Take the Next Step Together
