Divorce and separation · A practical Agave guide

Selling jointly owned property during separation

Establish the authority and communication process before marketing a shared home.

What to look at first

Review title information and ask each party’s counsel what consent or court permission is needed. Arizona proceedings may restrict transfers of community property. A broker can coordinate property tasks but should not decide whether an order authorizes a transaction or how a party’s ownership interest should be characterized.

Once the permitted path is established, document how showings, preparation expenses, offers and repair decisions will be handled. Ask escrow what instructions and signatures will be required for closing. Keep the proposed division of proceeds with the parties and their legal advisers. Clear communication is useful; it does not replace a required legal approval.

Bring these questions to the conversation

  • Have counsel identify the required approvals.
  • Use a documented process for property access and decisions.
  • Ask escrow to review closing requirements early.

The Broker’s Field Angle

Maricopa and Pinal County cases have their own filings, calendars and case-specific directions. Do not treat either court’s timing as a guaranteed closing schedule. Agree in writing on access, preparation costs, offer delivery and the point of contact for approvals. Jessica coordinates those property logistics with the owners and their attorneys within the authorized scope of representation.
