Local Context & Proof for Pleasant Hill

Frequently Asked Questions
Are we required to sell the house in a divorce?
No. Some couples sell, one spouse may buy out the other, and some keep the home together for a time. Your attorneys, or the court, usually guide that choice, and I can show you both the numbers for each path.
How can we agree on a price?
By looking at the same evidence. I give you both the same recent Pleasant Hill sales at the same time, so the price rests on the market rather than on either person's hopes.
Can one of us keep living in the house while it's listed?
Often, if you both agree and your attorneys are comfortable. We schedule showings and prep around that person and keep the other fully informed.
Can we sell before the divorce is final?
Ask your attorney. After a California divorce is filed, automatic restraining orders generally limit transferring property, so a sale may need written consent from both of you or a court order.
How are capital gains handled?
Many sellers can exclude up to $250,000 of gain each, or $500,000 together, if they meet the ownership and use tests. A tax professional or your attorney can apply the rules to your situation.
Who pays for repairs before listing?
Usually your settlement or a written agreement decides. I give both of you one list of what the sale needs and which items are likely to pay off.
