Divorce
A divorce makes everything harder, and a shared house is often the hardest piece. Both names are on it, both people want it settled, and neither wants a year of repairs, showings, and negotiating over a listing.
- Takes about 2 minutes
- No obligation to sell
What this situation usually means
Most divorce agreements either have one person keep the house or sell it and split what is left. When the house is sold, the process has to work for two people who may not be talking much.
A traditional listing asks them to agree on repairs, price, and every offer. A direct sale replaces that with one estimated offer, one contract, and one closing.
Your attorneys decide how the proceeds are divided, and we simply pay through the title company the way the paperwork says.
How Covent helps
We buy as-is, so neither of you has to agree on repairs or pay for them.
We work with both owners and with your attorneys, and the title company pays out as the paperwork directs.
You can pick a closing date that fits the move or the court's schedule, within 14 to 60 days of signing.
The process is private: no sign in the yard and no stream of visitors.
What we need to look at
- The address, and the names on the title.
- Whether both owners are ready to sell, and whether there is a court order or agreement.
- A rough loan balance, and the condition of the house.

Common questions
If both names are on the title, both owners will need to sign the contract. We can work with each of you separately and through your attorneys.
Sometimes. It depends on your state and your agreement, so check with your attorney first. Once you know, we can work to that timeline.
That is for you, your spouse, and your attorneys to decide. We pay the proceeds through the title company according to the written instructions it receives.
