Co-Owner or Family Disagreement

When co-owners can't agree, selling can feel stuck. We can buy the house as-is and help untangle the situation. We can usually make an offer within an hour of speaking with you, often while we're still on the phone, and close in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose. No cost, no obligation, no pressure.

A typical Ontario home — Co-Owner or Family Disagreement

What's going on

When co-owners disagree — siblings who inherited a house together, former partners, or family members who can't see eye to eye — selling the house can feel stuck. One wants to sell, one doesn't, and the house sits while the disagreement drags on. Meanwhile the costs and the tension keep building.

This page is general information, not legal advice. Please speak with a lawyer about your ownership situation and your options. Here's how a direct sale can help untangle things.

Your options

Selling to us is only one path. Here are the options most homeowners consider in this situation.

Buy out the other owner

If one co-owner wants to keep the house, they can buy out the other's share, usually through refinancing. This depends on affordability and agreement.

List and split the proceeds

If both agree to sell, listing and splitting the proceeds is the traditional path. It requires agreement on price, timing, and prep.

Sell directly and split the proceeds

If both agree to sell, a direct sale to us is clean and certain — no showings, no waiting on a buyer's financing — and the proceeds are split per your agreement. We can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose.

How we can help

  • A direct sale is clean and certain, which can reduce friction between co-owners.
  • We buy as-is, so neither owner has to prep or repair the house.
  • There are no showings to coordinate.
  • We can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date both owners choose.
