Marital Home Resale Requires
RCS-D^TM REALTORS^®

Divorce-related real estate is driven by necessity, not the market.

With the national divorce rate between 40%-50%, the family home remains one of the most valuable assets – that typically must be sold.

Additionally, and more importantly, NOT selling the house is among the riskiest divorce options regarding the marital home.

Where one spouse retains the house post divorce, either or both spouses risk significant, adverse exposure from: liens/clouded title, mortgage/consumer credit decline, default/foreclosure, bankruptcy, and other potentially devastating post-divorce financial/standard of living issues.

Real Estate Collaborative Specialists - Divorce^TM Successfully selling the former family home at any time – especially in a slow market – requires a multi-faceted, proactive approach provided by Divorce This House^TM - the RCS-D^TM Designation Course.

This course examines the legal, financial and emotional interaction between disposition of the former family home and issues of: marital/separate property, title/joint tenancy, real property and other assets; valuation of property; calculation of current and future house equity; capital gains and other tax and deduction issues; post-divorce standard of living, collaboration -professional cooperation for mutual gain (time/effort/money) and emotional closure.

To ensure successful resale (in less time for the most money), this course also explores the latest in strategic home preparation featuring Condition (home inspection, home repair, home improvement) and Presentation (decluttering, depersonalizing, strategic cleaning, home staging, etc.) through detailed case studies featuring before/after photos.

Completion of the RCS-D^TM Designation course is essential for agents to successfully represent the seemingly separate interests of divorcing homeowners. This is especially true given such sellers are potentially at odds with the sale and each other.

From our multi-disciplinary approach, the coursework synthesizes a “non-zero sum” strategy that distributes more (time, money and/or leisure) to each spouse through equity growth for both.

Real Estate agents learn proactive skills, strategies and techniques that include: using the “best interest of the house” standard, reframing objections reassuringly and converting separate positions to mutual, interest-based objectives.
