DispoKey

    Divorcing? Sell the house on one agreed date

    When neither of you wants to keep the house, a neutral cash buyer turns it into a single number to divide — no months of showings while you're living apart.

    • No repairs or cleaning
    • No agent commissions
    • Funds held by title

    The short answer

    DispoKey buys houses for cash from divorcing and separating couples, giving both spouses one written offer, a closing date they agree on, and proceeds the title company can split according to the settlement or court order.

    How it works

    Four calm steps, at your pace

      1

      One offer to both of you

      We send the same written offer to both spouses and attorneys.

      2

      Agree on a date

      Pick a closing date that fits the settlement.

      3

      Sign separately

      No need to be in the same room — separate or remote signing.

      4

      Title divides the proceeds

      Per your settlement, divorce decree or written instructions.

    Why a neutral buyer reduces conflict

    A traditional listing asks two people who may barely be speaking to agree on a list price, repairs, every offer and every price cut. A cash offer asks one question: yes or no. That simplicity is often worth more than squeezing out the last dollar.

    Talk to your attorney first

    Who can sell, and how the money is divided, depends on your state's property laws and your case. Your family law attorney or mediator should review any sale. We'll provide whatever documentation they need.
