Divorce
Divorce is never easy, and deciding what to do with the family home can be one of the most difficult steps. For couples in New Jersey, the home often represents years of memories and also one of the largest shared assets.
At Florostone Realty, we specialize in helping New Jersey couples sell their homes during divorce with fairness, empathy, and professionalism. Our role is to act as a neutral guide so both parties feel supported and informed throughout the process.
In New Jersey, there are a few different paths couples can take:
Sell the home and split the proceeds – Often the simplest way to divide the asset fairly.
One spouse buys out the other – Allows one party to remain in the New Jersey home while compensating the other.
Court-ordered sale – If spouses cannot agree, a judge may order the property sold.
Selling a home in New Jersey comes with its own dynamics:
Diverse Neighborhoods – From Forest Hill to Ironbound, property values and buyer demand can vary significantly.
Strong Market Demand – New Jersey’s proximity to New York City attracts both families and investors.
Local Regulations & Taxes – Understanding transfer taxes and equitable distribution laws in NJ is critical during divorce sales.
Working with a local divorce realtor ensures you get accurate market data and the right strategy for New Jersey’s real estate market.
