How to Sell a House During Divorce in Florida
Arrange sale authority, sale terms and instructions for the proceeds before accepting an offer. A direct sale lets you evaluate selling the house without making repairs first.

Pallas Growth is a cash home buyer. This guide explains preparation steps; your legal and tax professionals advise on your particular circumstances.
1. Confirm who can authorize the sale
Have your attorney review the deed, divorce status and existing orders. Do not assume being named on the title lets you sell without considering the other spouse’s rights.
2. Compare keeping the house or selling
Options include a buyout, temporary co-ownership or sale. If selling, compare a listed sale and a direct offer using actual costs and contract terms.
3. Put sale decisions in writing
- Who coordinates access, documents and responses to offers.
- How mortgage, insurance, taxes and utilities are paid while selling.
- How price, repairs, move-out and closing date are approved.
- What instructions the closing professional receives for the funds.
4. Review inspection, title and closing
We review photos and property information before the final offer. The inspection period is about 10 business days, with a general contractor or another team member visiting to estimate repairs. Closing normally follows 2–3 weeks later, subject to title and contract requirements.
5. Compare net proceeds
Compare the purchase price with your estimated net proceeds. Mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes and the costs allocated in the written agreement can affect the amount you receive.
Distribution follows the applicable agreement or order. Pallas Growth purchases the property; we do not decide how the money is divided.
