A typical Ontario home — Selling a House During Separation or Divorce

What's going on

Separation and divorce are hard enough without the family home becoming another thing to fight over. Often, selling the house is part of untangling two lives — it splits the value, ends the joint mortgage, and lets both people move forward.

This page is general information, not legal advice. Please speak with a family lawyer about your separation agreement and how the house fits into it. Here's how a direct sale can help.

Your options

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

One person keeps the house

If one partner wants to stay, they can refinance the mortgage in their own name and buy out the other's share. This depends on affordability and qualifying alone.

List and sell together

Selling through a realtor splits the proceeds after the mortgage and costs. This can take weeks or months and requires both parties to agree on price and timing.

Sell directly and quickly

A direct sale to us is clean and certain — no showings, no waiting on a buyer's financing, and a closing date both parties can plan around. 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 during a hard time.
  • We buy as-is, so neither person has to prep or repair the house.
  • There are no showings, so you don't have strangers in the home during a sensitive period.
  • We can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date both parties choose.
