Selling a house during divorce can take more than finding someone willing to buy it. For Harold B., family conflict and complicated legal matters made selling his Wichita home especially difficult.
Thankfully, at Professional Home Buyers, we buy houses from homeowners facing challenging circumstances and do everything possible to make the process straightforward. In this case, Harold needed a team prepared to stay involved through months of uncertainty, and that’s exactly what we provided.
Navigating a Home Sale With Several Legal Roadblocks
Harold contacted Professional Home Buyers on March 30, 2025, about his property on E Pagent St in Wichita, KS. He was going through a difficult divorce, and the house sale involved a conservatorship, trust issues, power of attorney, and a quitclaim deed.
Any one of those issues could slow the traditional home sale process, but together they created a headache that led Harold to consider an alternative. The overlapping legal issues made a traditional sale especially challenging because they would slow the closing. Adding the time required for showings and waiting for buyer financing could mean holding onto the property for much longer than preferred.
Professional Home Buyers understood these challenges. We made a fair cash offer and patiently coordinated with Harold and an experienced title company to resolve the issues. Progress took time. We expected the transaction to take more time than usual, and it did, leading us to close nearly five months after his first contact.
Harold appreciated our commitment to buying the property as the title company navigated the legal hurdles of selling a house during divorce. This wasn’t a typical transaction, where preparing a home for sale involved repairs, cleaning, and showings. It was a complicated legal process that required persistence and coordination, but Professional Home Buyers helped him move forward through that difficult situation.
What Other Divorcing Homeowners Can Learn From This Case
Selling a house during a divorce comes with its own complications. Homeowners should discuss marital property division, home equity distribution, and joint mortgage responsibility with their attorneys. A divorce settlement agreement can address how the sale will be handled and how proceeds from the home sale will be divided.
Questions about real estate market value may also arise. A real estate appraisal can help when spouses need an independent valuation. Harold’s case was particularly complex, but with legal insight and help from Professional Home Buyers, it was more manageable.
