Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my house during a divorce in IL?
Yes. In most cases, both parties must agree to the sale unless a judge orders otherwise. EasyOffer provides a written offer that both parties and their attorneys can review before proceeding.
What if my spouse does not want to sell the Plainfield house?
If the court orders the property sold as part of the divorce settlement, both parties are legally required to cooperate. We work with divorce attorneys regularly and can coordinate with both legal teams.
How are the sale proceeds split in a divorce?
The split is determined by your divorce decree or settlement agreement. At closing, the title company distributes funds according to the legal arrangement your attorneys establish.
Do both spouses need to be present at closing?
Not necessarily. If one spouse is unavailable, they can sign via power of attorney or through a remote notarization, depending on Illinois law.
Can we sell the house before the divorce is finalized?
Yes. Many couples sell before the divorce is finalized to simplify the property division. This is actually common and can speed up the overall divorce process.
Will selling to EasyOffer affect the divorce settlement?
Our offer provides a clear market value for the property that both parties can reference. Many divorce attorneys appreciate having a firm number to work with rather than an uncertain listing price.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
