What are the steps to sell a house during a divorce in St. Lucie County?
- Agree the source of the number before the number. A written comparative market analysis from matching closed sales, delivered to both parties and both attorneys at the same time.
- Agree the mechanics in writing: who signs, who pays carrying costs until closing, how showings are scheduled, and how offers are presented to both sides.
- List once, price to the sales, and let the market speak. A house priced to the closed sales draws its offers in the first weeks; one priced to a negotiation between owners does not.
Which court handles a divorce in St. Lucie County?
The Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, which serves Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee and St. Lucie counties (s. 26.021(19), Florida Statutes). Wherever the divorce is filed, a judgment that distributes a St. Lucie County house takes effect like a recorded deed once a certified copy is recorded in the official records of St. Lucie County, where the property is located (s. 61.075(4)). When a judge has ordered the sale, the judge makes the final decisions, and we follow the order. Which court hears your case, and what the judgment should say about the house, are questions for your family-law attorney.
Who decides the legal and tax questions in a St. Lucie County divorce sale?
Your family-law attorney for the settlement terms and who must sign; a CPA or tax professional on the treatment of the sale proceeds; a lender if one party is considering buying the other out. We supply the written comparative market analysis and handle the sale. We never pay attorneys for referrals.

How do I sell a house during a divorce in St. Lucie County: questions
Do both spouses have to agree to sell?
That is a question for your family-law attorney and depends on how title is held and what the court has ordered. What we can do is give both sides the same written comparative market analysis so the price is not the argument.
How long will a St. Lucie County sale take during a divorce?
The market's clock is 54 days to contract for the median house and 82 for the median condominium, plus roughly 30 to 45 days to close for a financed buyer. Delays in divorce sales almost always come from decision-making, not from buyers.
Should one of us stay in the house while it sells?
That is for your agreement or the court to decide. For reference, among St. Lucie County house sales where occupancy was disclosed, owner-occupied houses went to contract in 31 days against 36 for vacant ones.
Can one spouse buy the other out instead?
Often, and the same comparative market analysis serves that conversation. The lender and both attorneys decide feasibility; we supply the number and the sales behind it.
Does PBP take sides?
No. We work as a transaction broker, so we do not represent one owner against the other. Florida law sets our duties: we deal honestly and fairly, present every offer and counteroffer promptly, and use skill, care and diligence in the sale.

★★★★★ Rosa S. · Google review, February 2020
Gia and John from PBP Real Estate exceeded expectations in selling my mother's Delray Beach condo, which had previously failed to sell with another firm. Despite being in New York, I experienced excellent communication and responsiveness via phone, text, and email, making the remote process, including the closing, stress-free.
★★★★★ Robert S. · Google review, December 2024
