Your House Holds
the Key to Unlocking Your Future
FINANCES
Making a decision on the house is the first step to your financial future.
EMOTIONS
Getting out of
limbo allows you to protect your mental sanity.
CHILDREN
For kids, the house represents the next step for school, friends, and their new normal.
CLOSURE
Without handling the house, you can't move on. The house is closure.
THIS ISN'T BUSINESS AS USUAL.
The real estate portion of your case deserves an expert, the same as every other aspect of your case. Without a specialized expert:
-
Conflict can escalate
-
Attorney fees can get out of hand
-
Your well-being is left in peril
Not because they mean to cause harm, but because they don’t know any other way, non-specialized Realtors apply the traditional processes of real estate in divorce transactions— and that doesn’t work.

How It All Began...
Divorce is complicated enough without real estate. Add in a transaction like selling or otherwise dividing a house, and the complexity skyrockets.
Believe me, I know. When I first worked with homeowners going through a divorce, I quickly realized that this kind of transaction required a different skill set and knowledge than any other “typical” listing. And as I gained experience in these kinds of cases, I also learned that many mistakes were made by nearly everyone involved in a family law case. These mistakes cost clients dearly.
Over the years, I made it my mission to mitigate the damage caused by misinformation and bad practices. I wrote a book called The House Matters in Divorce, which explores how to make wise and purposeful choices when dealing with your most financial asset in a divorce. I developed a tailored approach to the divorce listing process — based on neutrality, communication, and empowering divorcing spouses to set themselves up for a faster road to recovery. This approach has resulted in reduced court time, better informed attorneys, minimized costs, maximized property value, and better efficiency, so that the listing — and case — keep moving forward. And in 2017, I launched the most comprehensive divorce real estate training program in the nation, The Ilumni® Institute, and founded the CDRE™ certification that trains Realtors to be Court-appointed real estate experts.
All of this to say: My team and I have our clients’ backs, and if you choose to work with us, we’ll be fierce advocates for you as you unlock your new normal.
I look forward to meeting you.
