Living in a social neighborhood makes it difficult to maintain privacy while going through divorce with a home to sell. Answering questions from neighbors can be difficult for both you and your kids. Most couples or families processing these major changes prefer to fly under the radar, sell quickly, and move on.

Here are a few ways The Wistrick Team helps to ease the stress of exposure.

• Eliminate the For Sale sign – rarely are homes sold to drive-by’s or through word-of-mouth. Instead, we focus our marketing efforts heavily online and on broker networking. The absence of a sign will not impact showing traffic.
• Free-floating lockbox – rather than bolting to the front door, we leave it freestanding so you can move it out of sight when guests come over.
• Confidential listing appointments – our meetings are kept private. We also host phone and Zoom consultations to answer any questions about the process.
• No open houses – serious buyers schedule private showings. Open houses are for casual shoppers.

Pro Tip: Avoid Being Taken Advantage Of

In most divorce sales, one spouse has already moved out. When selling, leave both sets of clothing in the primary’s closet and do not remove every family photo. Agents and buyers will pick up on these clues. If they think there’s a possibility to take advantage of a distress situation, it will be reflected in their offer price.
