This can seem daunting, which is why it\u2019s important to understand the process of selling your home and finding the best Edmonton Realtor to help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is most important while selling your home during a separation is being able to be in agreement with each other in order to have things move as efficiently as possible. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing to work with a Realtor experienced with divorces can help eliminate any potential conflicts that can arise throughout the process. Ultimately, your decisions have to be made in agreement, but by being able to consult not only with your divorce lawyer but a divorce Realtor, it can lift a lot of stress from the situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><i>Preparation is key\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you put your home on the market, there will be many discussions and decisions that you will need to have with your ex-spouse. Here are the questions you will need to ask to get one step closer to selling your home:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who will be your real estate agent?\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve agreed on an agent, you are one step ahead. If you\u2019re struggling to agree on an agent, you can rely on friends or family to help settle this decision for you.

A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espo.ca\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">top Edmonton Realtor<\/a> can help advise you!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is your asking price and how will you settle on an offer?<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a conversation about your price expectations and goals beforehand can help resolve any potential issues\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enlist the help of your local Edmonton Realtor\u00ae to learn the recent sale prices of similar homes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fundamentally, this will be a decision you both have to make, but a significant time to use your Realtor\u2019s expertise to help make this an easy and well informed decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How will you divide the profit from your home?<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to consider how your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">province divides the assets in a divorce<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In Alberta, the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matrimonial Property Act<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the law that sets out how a property will be divided in a divorce. This law allows the couple the option to come up with your own property settlement. In general, the distribution should be adjusted to account for the paying spouse\u2019s contribution.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Need help selling your Edmonton home when going through a divorce?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get in touch with us to chat about the best way to take those next steps to selling your home in a stress-free process!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espo.ca\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edmonton Real Estate specialist now<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
