Selling a Lakeville Home During a Divorce
A calm, neutral sale when two owners need to agree, with the same information shared with both of you.
A fair sale in Lakeville
We start with facts both owners can check for themselves. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
What affects our Lakeville home's price? Recent sales of similar homes, the home's condition, and the new construction it competes with. Because builders are active in Lakeville, we show both of you what a buyer could build nearby for a similar price.

If the home is nearly new
A home bought recently may not have gained much equity. We estimate the proceeds after the mortgage payoff and closing costs, so you both know the real number before deciding whether to sell or have one person keep the home.
Keeping the sale on schedule
Tell us about any date in your agreement or court order. We plan the listing, the showings, and the closing around it, and we coordinate with your attorneys.
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 Lakeville home, read about selling in Lakeville, or visit our Lakeville 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if we owe almost as much as the home is worth?
We estimate your proceeds first. Your attorneys can then advise on selling or having one person keep the home.
Does new construction nearby lower our price?
It gives buyers another choice, so pricing and presentation matter. We show you what you are competing with.
