How to Divide Home Equity Fairly During a Divorce Sale

How to Divide Home Equity Fairly During a Divorce Sale

Your home is likely your largest shared asset—and emotions run high when deciding who gets what.
At The Shaina McAndrews Team, we believe transparency and data prevent disputes.

3 Ways to Divide Equity

  1. Sell and Split: The most straightforward. The home is sold, and net proceeds are divided as agreed in the divorce settlement.

  2. Buyout: One spouse refinances to buy out the other’s share, often based on the appraised value.

  3. Deferred Sale: Rare but possible when children need housing stability. One spouse keeps the home temporarily, with a future sale date.

Why a Neutral Agent Matters

We serve as a neutral third party, focusing on fair market value, not emotional attachment.
Our goal: ensure both sides leave the table feeling respected and informed.

“Shaina helped us navigate our sale without drama. She stayed professional and calm through a very emotional process.” — Clive F, 2024
