There are already enough difficult decisions.
When a relationship ends, the home can quickly become one of the largest financial and emotional decisions involved.
Even straightforward real-estate decisions can become more complicated when two people are navigating a separation at the same time.
What is the house actually worth?
Should we sell now or later?
What needs to be done before listing?
What happens if we don’t agree on price?
How will showings and communication be handled?
How do we protect the property’s market value?
My role is to bring structure to the real-estate side of those decisions.
My role is real estate.
- —I don’t provide legal advice.
- —I don’t decide what either spouse is entitled to.
- —I don’t take sides in the separation.
My responsibility is to provide objective real-estate advice, professionally market the property and manage the real-estate transaction.
When a decision requires legal direction, it belongs with your lawyer. Financial and tax questions should similarly be addressed by the appropriate professionals.
Clear professional boundaries help create a clearer process.
Questions you may already be asking.
Depends on the legal circumstances; your lawyer advises on rights and obligations. I manage the real-estate process once instructions are established.
I provide market evidence and a documented pricing recommendation. Where agreement can’t be reached, the decision returns to your legal professionals.
Not necessarily. I can work with each of you individually, together, or through your advisors — whichever keeps the process moving with the least friction.
Yes, where authorized. The process is built to work alongside legal counsel, not replace it.
Timing depends on your circumstances and the market. I provide current market context and a recommended approach once I understand the property and your timeline.
Yes. Your information is handled with discretion, consistent with applicable privacy and real-estate requirements.
That’s common. An initial conversation can begin with one party, with the understanding that significant decisions ultimately involve both parties and their advisors.

Cody Sturgess Realtor®
Selling a home during a separation comes with questions that don’t have simple answers. My role is to bring clarity to the real-estate side — market assessment, preparation, pricing, and the transaction itself — and to keep that work firmly within real estate.
When lawyers or other professional advisors are involved, the real-estate process is coordinated to fit alongside their work, not around it. My focus stays on the property and the sale, and my role remains firmly within real estate.
