Details to settle early
- The person who stays in the home during the sale affects how showings are scheduled.
- Repair approvals need a set limit that both owners accept.
- Association documents need ordering early if the home is in an association, and someone must pay for them.
- Proceeds at closing are paid as your attorneys direct.
- The list price and any price change need approval from both owners in writing.
Pricing from nearby sales
Inver Grove Heights covers about 28 square miles, and its homes span many decades of styles. Two homes at a similar size can sell for different prices because of age, lot size, and school district. We start with sales closest to your home, and both of you see the same list and the same recommendation.
Dakota County's free Property Information Search shows the tax and value record for the home. We share that record with both owners too.
We put every update in writing and send it to both of you at the same time. Showing feedback, offers, and repair requests go to both owners, so no one has to rely on the other for news. If you would rather not meet together, we meet with each of you separately.
We can also help either of you plan the next step. If one owner plans to buy or rent nearby after the sale, we can talk about that once the sale is underway.

What divorce sale looks like in Inver Grove Heights
Inver Grove Heights is a Dakota County city of about 28 square miles on the west bank of the Mississippi River, with 31 parks and housing from apartments to large-lot homes.
Inver Grove Heights is a short drive from our home base in Cottage Grove, and we help buyers and sellers compare its neighborhoods with facts.
- The homes
- A wide choice of housing, from apartments to large-lot homes, and recent housing developments are adding more.
- Schools people ask about
- Three K-12 districts serve different parts of the city: Inver Grove Heights Schools (ISD 199), Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan (ISD 196), and West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan (ISD 197). Confirm the district for any address.
- Getting around
- Highway 52 runs north and south through the city and meets Interstate 494, and the city describes downtown St. Paul as a ten-minute drive.
- Nearby
- 31 city parks, the city-owned Inver Wood Golf Course, and the Mississippi River Greenway trail along the river.
- The trade-off
- The city is large, about 28 square miles, so a home's location makes a real difference in drive times and in which school district serves it.
