Cardinal St: Selling a Home During Divorce
By Jessica Joles
In the world of real estate, every home has a story to tell.
Some are filled with joy and laughter, while others are marked by challenges and change. The story of Cardinal St is one that beautifully captures the essence of resilience and cooperation during a difficult time.
Nestled on Cardinal Street, in Fort Collins, this home found itself at the center of a divorce proceeding.
The owners were faced with the daunting task of selling their beloved property while navigating the emotional complexities of divorce. They needed more than just a real estate agent; they needed a trusted ally who could guide them through this challenging chapter of their lives.
That’s when I stepped in.
Not just as a real estate agent, but as a compassionate intermediary experienced in handling home sales amidst divorce proceedings. Divorces can be draining both financially and mentally. I understood that reducing attorney’s fees was crucial, and I was committed to making this process as smooth as possible for both parties.
The home had seen better days.
One party continued to reside there while the other had moved on, leaving a long list of repairs and renovations. I quickly assembled a team of skilled repair technicians, obtained estimates, and ensured that every detail was taken care of. From arranging for deep cleaning to removing personal items, I left no stone unturned to prepare the home for the market.
Once the bulk of the work was complete, we transformed the property into a showcase home.
With professional staging and captivating photographs, we were ready to introduce Cardinal St to potential buyers. An open house was scheduled, and the stage was set for a new beginning. Throughout this entire process, I played the role of a unbiased third party. I was there to facilitate communication, address concerns, and ensure that both parties felt heard and respected. When an offer came in within the first week of listing, negotiations began.
Negotiations, as expected, were not always easy.
But with my extensive experience in the art of negotiation, I was able to navigate the discussions with finesse. My goal was to find common ground where both parties could agree and be content with the outcome.
Remarkably, the story of Cardinal St. had a happy ending.
The home sold within 35 days of hitting the market, surpassing the asking price. What once seemed like an insurmountable challenge had transformed into a tale of successful collaboration and compromise.
Cardinal St is more than just a home; it’s a testament to the power of teamwork, understanding, and professional expertise.
It’s a story that showcases my commitment to my clients and my ability to navigate complex situations with empathy and finesse.
