Divorce

Divorce is stressful enough without adding a house into the mix. For many couples, the home is the largest asset, and deciding what to do with it can drag the process out. One person may want to keep it, the other wants to sell, or neither can afford the payments alone. Repairs, showings, and months of waiting on the open market only add to the conflict.

Selling through an agent can bring in more money, but it also means coordinating repairs, scheduling showings, and waiting for buyer financing. That timeline doesn't always fit when both people just want closure and to move on.

Selling directly to Carolina Home Relief makes the process simpler. We buy houses as-is, with no repairs, no cleanouts, and no commissions. You don't have to wait for buyers to walk through or worry about who is covering the next payment. Once we agree on a price, the sale is certain, and closing can happen in as little as ten days. That gives both parties a clean break and cash in hand to start fresh.

Here's an example. Suppose your house could sell for $200,000 on the open market if fully updated. To get there, you'd likely need around $50,000 in repairs. After the work is done and the house sells, you'd pay about $12,000 in agent commission (6%) and another $4,000–$6,000 in closing costs. After months of work and waiting, your net would likely be around $132,000–$134,000.

If you sold directly to us, we might offer around $115,000. Yes, that's less than the market-ready route, but it avoids fronting $50,000 for repairs, carrying the property for months, and dealing with the uncertainty of a traditional listing. Both of you can walk away with cash in hand in about ten days, with no extra stress. For many couples, that trade-off is worth it.
