What is an expert in family law and divorce Real Estate ?

RCS-D, or Real Estate Collaboration Specialist in Divorce, is a Realtor designation requiring advanced training. It offers additional protection for divorcing homeowners, ensuring expertise in handling real estate transactions during divorce.

You may need an RCS-D instead of a regular realtor when dealing with divorce because a RCS-D has specialized training in handling the unique challenges and complexities of real estate transactions during divorce proceedings. They offer tailored support to protect your interests and ensure a smoother process amidst the legal and emotional complexities of divorce.  Having a divorce real estate specialist during difficult times helps lessen the burden.

Appraisals, while helpful, may not be ideal for dividing a house in divorce real estate. They offer a single valuation that might not fully capture market value or consider debts, repairs, and future trends. Relying solely on appraisals can overlook emotional and practical aspects, possibly leading to disputes and increased legal fees. 

The "in-spouse" refers to the spouse who will retain ownership of the marital home after the divorce, while the "out-spouse" refers to the spouse who will no longer have ownership rights to the property and typically moves out of the marital home. The in-spouse may buy out the out-spouse's share of the property or negotiate other arrangements regarding the home's ownership as part of the divorce settlement.

Getting a home inspection when keeping the house in divorce real estate is essential. It allows for a thorough understanding of the property's condition, enabling informed decisions before finalizing the divorce. This proactive approach prevents unexpected expenses and ensures the person retaining the house is well-prepared for any necessary repairs or maintenance.
