If you’re going through a divorce and trying to figure out what happens to the house, you’re not alone.

In this video, I break down 4 of the most common scenarios divorcing homeowners should understand when real estate is involved.

If you’d like the PDF resource that outlines these buyout and sale paths more clearly, DM me “buyout” and I’ll send it over.

This content is for general educational purposes only and is not legal advice. Every divorce, financial, and property situation is different, so it’s important to get guidance from the right legal and financial professionals.

“Cash buyers keep winning everything…”

If that sounds familiar, this series is for you.

Part 1 is all about the first move that helps financed buyers in San Diego look almost like cash:
👉 Getting fully underwritten up front instead of stopping at a basic pre approval.

This can mean faster closings, stronger offers, and sellers taking you way more seriously.

Parts 2 and 3 are coming soon with two more strategies I use to help my buyers compete and win in this market. Hit follow so you don’t miss them.

Got questions about your budget or neighborhood plan? Shoot me a DM and I am happy to talk it through.

What if one spouse refuses to sell the home during a divorce?

It’s a common and stressful situation, but there are legal tools available to help move the process forward.

In this clip, family law attorneys Rosario Burgos Santoyo and Gretel Smith of Burgos Santoyo & Smith LLP explain how court orders, pricing terms, and third-party signatures can resolve disagreements over selling the marital home.

As a Certified Divorce Specialist and San Diego Realtor, I work with families and attorneys to make sure the home sale process is handled clearly and professionally, even in high-conflict situations.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping many San Diegans transition from longtime family homes into something smaller, closer to loved ones, or more comfortable for their current lifestyle. 🏡

These moves can feel overwhelming, but they can also open the door to less stress, more freedom, and a home that truly fits this next chapter.

To make the process easier, I’ve put together a free guide filled with practical steps, tips to avoid common mistakes, and strategies for both selling and buying with confidence.
