In this episode of The D Shift podcast, we talk about one of the most complex and often contentious aspects of divorce: real estate. I am joined by Kat Timpson, an experienced realtor with Coldwell Banker in New Jersey, who brings over 20 years of expertise in PR, corporate communication, and real estate, specializing in assisting divorcing couples with their property concerns.
Kat shares her unique journey into real estate, including her own experiences buying, selling, and renovating homes over the years. Her passion for real estate and a deep understanding of buyer and seller perspectives make her a great resource.
Throughout the conversation, Kat emphasizes that the sale of the family home, often the largest asset in a marriage, needs careful and professional handling to avoid common pitfalls. She underscores the importance of consulting with a trained real estate agent for divorcing couples. A real estate agent who understands the divorce process can provide invaluable guidance, ensuring all aspects of the sale are completed legally and efficiently.
Kat provides practical advice on preparing a home for sale, the necessity of clear titles, the importance of understanding mortgage implications, and the benefits of knowing a property’s real market value through presale inspections. She also highlights how essential it is to remove emotional attachments and view the home purely as a business asset to facilitate a fair and effective sale.
