A Fair and Equitable Divorce Settlement Starts With a Complete and Accurate Property Assessment

Unknown real estate issues lead to lopsided divorce settlements. Unfortunately, courts rarely if ever agree to modify existing settlements, which means if you don’t get it right the first time, you are stuck. While generally knowledgeable, your divorce attorney is not a real estate expert, and can only take things so far. It is up to you, not your divorce attorney, to uncover all relevant facts and conditions that can affect your property’s value. This begs the question, “Do you know everything you need to know about the divorce real estate process, or are you content with leaving your future to chance”?

Armed with the facts uncovered by Prosperity Group’s divorce real estate specialists,
your attorney and the court have what they need to ensure truly fair and equitable real estate settlements for both parties.

Identifying the mortgage, title & lien, insurance, and property condition challenges unique to divorce real estate

requires a specialist skill-set and expertise that 99% of brokers lack, and their mistakes can cost you thousands.

The Prosperity Group’s Divorce Real Estate Specialists work to untangle complex real estate and mortgage issues, working with couples and their attorneys to ensure that both parties receive fair and equitable settlements, and long-term financial stability.

• • We work to uncover mortgage issues that can stall divorce negotiations and lead to credit and financial problems for the parties years after the divorce has settled.
  • We work to uncover hidden title and lien issues that can reduce equity in the property and make it difficult to transfer ownership.
  • We work to uncover unknown insurance issues that can render the property uninsurable, unfinanceable, and difficult to transfer.
  • We work to uncover unseen property conditions that can reduce equity by tens-of-thousands of dollars, and lead to lopsided divorce settlements.
  • What might a mistake cost you?

Unknown real estate issues lead to lopsided divorce settlements.
We fix that! 

When it comes to ensuring the fairest and most equitable divorce settlement possible, real estate issues should be addressed very early on in the divorce process. The longer one waits, the more equity can be lost. The process starts with a complete and thorough property evaluation, as a fair and equitable divorce settlement is only possible if negotiations are based on the property’s true and fair value. In addition to facilitating a fair and equitable settlement, we work to ensure that issues affecting the credit score and future homeownership eligibility of the parties are addressed before the settlement is completed.

Little Known Fact: Appraisals explicitly exclude all but the most obvious title, lien, and property condition defects.
The appraisal alone is not an accurate portrayal of true property value, and to rely on the appraisal alone is a big mistake!

Working in complete cooperation with the divorce attorneys, our process includes:

• • Having our divorce mortgage specialist complete a comprehensive review of all mortgage issues related to the divorce. They will assess the effect of the divorce on the credit scores and future homeownership eligibility of the parties. They will make specific recommendations aimed at preserving long-term credit and homeownership eligibility.
  • We will recommend, facilitate, and coordinate a full title & lien search of the property in order to uncover unknown title & lien issues that may adversely affect property value and transferability.
  • We will recommend, facilitate, and coordinate a full insurance evaluation of the property. This evaluation is intended to uncover future insurability issues that may affect property value, and/or the ability to transfer the property. Insurance premiums for a property often change dramatically as a result of divorce – better to know this up front if the intent is for one of the parties to keep the property post-divorce.
  • We will recommend, facilitate, and coordinate a complete property condition evaluation, designed to uncover unseen property defects that can adversely affect the value and salability of a property — e.g.: better to know there is a $35,000 foundation issue before settlement negotiations have finalized and it’s too late to make changes.
