What Attorneys Should Know Before a Divorce Listing Begins
Quick answer
Before listing, counsel generally benefits from confirming: who holds authority to sign, the pricing methodology, the price-reduction schedule, repair authority and funding, access and showing procedures, offer presentation protocol, and how communication with both parties will be documented.
Most divorce listing disputes are predictable, and most are preventable with a short list of decisions made before marketing begins.
Establishing those terms up front reduces motion practice later and gives both attorneys a clear reference point.
