Selling a home during a divorce or an estate settlement
A divorce sale needs two people to agree on price, timing and the agent. Christina assigns two agents to every divorce sale, so each spouse has a direct point of contact and neither is left out of the loop. As a Certified Divorce Specialist, she also understands how the timing of a sale affects the rest of the case.
A probate or estate sale comes with court requirements, heirs who may live out of town, and a home that may need clearing out before it can show. Christina works with the personal representative and their attorney so the sale meets what Florida law requires, and she coordinates cleanouts, locksmiths and repairs from afar.
In both situations the house is only part of the job. The rest is clear communication, patience with everyone involved, and pricing built on closed sales, so the family can move forward with confidence.

What to expect when you call
In a divorce, the home is often the largest shared asset. Christina prepares a valuation both spouses and their attorneys can rely on, and she explains the options. One spouse keeps the home, the home sells during the case, or it sells after the case closes.
In probate, Florida has specific steps before a personal representative can sell. Christina works alongside your attorney so nothing in the sale holds up the estate, and she keeps you updated at every deadline.
Everything you discuss is confidential. If privacy matters more than public exposure, Christina also handles confidential off-market sales.
