What should divorcing owners in Bloomington plan for? The Time-of-Sale inspection. The city requires it, and it may list repairs that must be addressed. Decide in advance who schedules it and how required repairs will be paid for.

Why this matters more in a divorce
An unexpected repair list can start an argument about money. When you agree on a plan before the inspection, the report becomes a task list. We get estimates for the required items and send them to both of you.
Timing
Schedule the inspection before listing, so repairs do not delay a closing date set by your agreement or the court.
How we stay neutral and work with your attorneys is explained on our selling a home during divorce page. You can also request a value report for your Bloomington home, read about selling in Bloomington, or visit our Bloomington page.
How property is divided is a legal question for your attorney or mediator. When you are ready, send us a message or call (651) 661-4770. Either owner can contact us.

What divorce sale looks like in Bloomington
Bloomington is a city of about 90,000 on the Minnesota River, 10 miles south of downtown Minneapolis, next to the airport and home to the Mall of America.
Our office is in Bloomington. The city is split by Interstate 35W into a more residential west side and an east side with more business and retail.
- The homes
- A large, fully built city, so most homes are existing homes. The city requires a Time-of-Sale housing inspection when a home is sold.
- Getting around
- Interstate 494 runs across the north side and Interstate 35W runs north to Minneapolis. The Blue Line light rail connects the Mall of America to the airport and downtown Minneapolis.
- Nearby
- The Mall of America, the airport, Hyland Lake Park Reserve, Bush Lake, Normandale Lake, and 97 parks and green spaces.
- The trade-off
- Some homes are near the airport, so visit at different times of day to hear the flight paths.
