Selling a Home During a Divorce in Arlington Heights
Both of you kept informed, together or separately, with the prep handled at no additional cost.
Selling a Home During a Divorce in Arlington Heights
Selling a home during a divorce in Arlington Heights means two owners have to agree on a lot: the price, whether to fix anything, when to list and which offer to take. That is hard to do at the best of times, and a divorce is not the best of times.
Our job is to make each of those decisions clear and fair for both of you, keep the sale moving, and make sure neither of you is ever left out of a decision about your own home.
Both of You, Kept Informed, Your Way
The Mike Webb Team is Mike and Claudia Webb, with RE/MAX Allegiance, and we have more than 34 years in real estate. About three out of four of our sales are in Arlington.
We work the way that suits the two of you. If you get along, we can meet together, at the house or on a Zoom call. If it is easier apart, we talk with each of you separately. We have done it both ways, from the first meeting through offers and updates. Most of the time we talk with you directly, and when it helps, we also work with your attorneys.
Both of you hear about every offer and every update, and the decisions are yours to make together.
Ted K. described us in three words: “Responsive, informed, and hassle-free.”
A Price You Can Both Trust
In a divorce, the number matters twice: once to sell the house and again when the proceeds are divided. So we show you exactly how we get there. We walk through the house, then compare it with recent 22204 sales of homes that truly match it in age, style, size and condition. Arlington Heights has everything from early 1900s bungalows to new craftsman homes, so the right comparisons make a real difference.
Your Arlington County assessment is not the same as today's value. The county assesses as of January 1, and its 2026 residential assessments were based on sales from September 2024 through August 2025.
In ZIP code 22204, which includes Arlington Heights, homes that sold from July through September 2026 took an average of 54 days to sell and received about 97.2% of their original list price, according to Bright MLS. Arlington County had about 3.9 months of supply in September 2026, up from 3.0 a year earlier, so a well-prepared, well-priced house matters.
No One Has to Pay Up Front to Get the House Ready
Couples often disagree about spending money on a house they are about to sell. The White Glove Home Sale Method™ takes that question off the table, because the preparation comes at no additional cost: painting, handyman repairs, caulking, deep cleaning, carpet and window cleaning, power washing, landscaping, removal of unwanted items and furniture, donations to the charity of your choice, and staging. Claudia runs the crews and the timeline, so neither of you has to.
If you would both rather skip the work, we show you two numbers side by side, what the house could sell for prepared and what it might sell for as it is, and either way we list it, market it and handle the sale.
Who keeps what and how the money is divided are questions for your attorneys. This page describes our general approach. It is not legal, tax or financial advice.
For each step of the sale, see how we sell a home, step by step.
What Buyers Will See in Your Arlington Heights Home
Arlington Heights has been a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places since 2008. Buyers notice the tree-lined streets, Thomas Jefferson Park, where the Arlington County Fair is held every year, and the quick reach of Route 50, I-395 and Columbia Pike. We put those strengths up front in the marketing.
If either of you will be buying next in an area where we are licensed, we can help with that too. See buying a home with us, or read more on our Arlington Heights page.
