Scottsdale Divorce Real Estate
Divorce Real Estate Sales
Introduction
A Neutral, Documented Process for Both Parties
Selling a shared home during a divorce requires an agent who keeps the process fair, documented and moving forward for both parties. That means one set of numbers, one timeline and no surprises for either side.
Darren Tackett prices every divorce sale from the same current comparable-sales data used for any seller, and coordinates directly with both parties' attorneys on disclosures and proceeds distribution. If you want a confidential conversation first, get in touch.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce Real Estate Sales
Do we need to agree on everything before listing?
No, but you do need to agree on the essentials: list price, who handles what preparation, and how decisions get made once offers arrive. Everything else can be worked out along the way, in writing, with both attorneys copied.
What if one spouse wants to sell and the other does not?
That is usually resolved through the settlement or by the court rather than by the agent. Once there is an agreement or an order to sell, the process runs like any other listing, with both parties receiving the same information at the same time.
How is a divorce sale priced differently?
It is not. The price comes from the same current comparable-sales analysis used for any seller. What changes is transparency: the valuation and its rationale go to both parties and both attorneys simultaneously, so neither side is working from different numbers.
Can proceeds be split automatically at closing?
In most cases, yes. With written instructions from the attorneys or the settlement agreement, the title company can disburse each party's share directly at closing rather than routing everything through one account.
Do you work with our attorneys directly?
Yes. Darren Tackett coordinates with both parties' legal counsel on disclosures, deadlines, signatures and proceeds instructions, so the sale stays aligned with the settlement and nothing depends on the two of you negotiating logistics. Call (602) 622-1226 for a confidential conversation.
