Selling a house in a divorce or separation
One written number both owners can see, and a closing date you agree on.
Last updated November 8, 2026
- Offer in 24 hours
- Close in 7 to 35 days
- No fees. No repairs.
When a couple separates, the house is often the largest thing they own together. Listing it means months of showings, price changes and agreeing on every step while life is already hard.
A cash sale gives both owners the same written offer, with the comparable sales attached, and one closing date. A title company pays out the proceeds at closing. How the money is split is set by your agreement or the court, so check it with your lawyer.

No open houses and no strangers in the home while you sort things out.
A date you agree on
Close in 7 to 35 days, at the date that suits both of you.
A neutral closing
A licensed title company handles the paperwork and the payout.

Questions and answers
Do both of us have to agree?
If you both own the house, you both sign the sale, so yes. BIMINIO sends one written offer that both owners can read, with the comparable sales attached. If your divorce has a court order about the house, follow it, and ask your lawyers before you sign the sale contract.
Can we talk to you separately?
Yes. BIMINIO can speak with each owner on your own calls and send the same written offer to both of you. Everyone sees the same number and the same sales behind it. We can also send it to each of your lawyers if you want them to review it before you decide.
Who splits the money?
The licensed title company pays the sale proceeds as the signed paperwork says. Your agreement or a court order decides how the money is split between you. BIMINIO does not decide that and gives no legal advice, so please work out the split with your lawyers before closing.
Will there be showings?
No. BIMINIO buys without open houses, without a listing and without strangers walking through the home. After you accept, there is one building inspection of under 30 minutes at a time you choose. That keeps the sale quiet while you sort out the rest of your plans.
How long does the sale take?
BIMINIO sends a written offer within 24 hours. Once you both accept, you pick a closing date from 7 to 35 days out. Choose a date that suits both owners, for example after one of you has found a new place. The licensed title company handles the paperwork in between.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. BIMINIO charges no fees and no commissions, and we pay the closing costs. The number on the written offer is the number you receive at closing, less any mortgage payoff or liens on the house. Those are paid from the sale by the licensed title company, so you do not pay them out of pocket first.
Is a cash offer below market value?
Yes. A BIMINIO cash offer is below full market value, and we say that out loud. In return you skip repairs, commissions, showings, months of waiting and the risk of a buyer backing out. Our net proceeds calculator lets you put a listing and a cash sale side by side with your own numbers.
Do you have the money to close?
Yes. Every BIMINIO offer comes with proof of funds, a bank letter, and your earnest deposit is held by a licensed title company. We buy with cash and no financing contingency, so there is no bank approval to wait for and no loan that can fall through before the closing date.
