Selling a Home During a Divorce in Barcroft
Both of you kept informed, together or separately, with the prep handled at no additional cost.
Selling a Home During a Divorce in Barcroft
Selling a home during a divorce in Barcroft asks two people to make one set of decisions about a house that may hold a lot of years. You need a price you both believe, a plan for the house you both accept, and an agent who treats you both the same.
We give you all three, and we take the work of getting the house ready off both of your plates.
Fair to Both of You, From First Meeting to Closing
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.
How we talk is up to you. We can meet with you both, at the house or by Zoom, speak with each of you on your own, or work through your attorneys when that is easier. Usually it is the two of you directly. Every offer and every update goes to both owners, and the two of you decide.
When Jamie B. told friends what we had covered, their response was: “They did all of that at no additional cost?”
One Price, Built From the Right Sales
According to the Barcroft School and Civic League, Barcroft has homes built from the 1880s to the 1980s, many of them by builder Walter O'Hara and his son Robert. Colonials on big lots, Cape Cods, craftsman houses, farmhouses and new construction can share a block, so an average tells you very little.
We walk through your house and the lot, compare them with recent 22204 sales that truly match, and show both of you each comparison. Your Arlington County assessment is a separate figure: 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 Barcroft, 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 buyers are taking their time.
No Up-Front Cost to Get the House Ready
When two owners are going separate ways, paying to fix up the house they share can be a sore spot. The White Glove Home Sale Method™ takes it away. The preparation is 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, so neither of you has to.
If you would both rather list the house as it is, we show you what it could sell for prepared and what it might sell for as it is, side by side. Either way, we list it, market it and handle the sale.
Questions about who keeps what or how the money is divided are for your attorneys. This page describes our general approach and is not legal, tax or financial advice.
For each step of the sale, see how we sell a home, step by step.
What We Highlight to Barcroft Buyers
We put Barcroft's strengths up front: big lots, Arlington Hall West Park inside the neighborhood, the historic Barcroft Community House, the Four Mile Run Trail, and quick access to Route 50, George Mason Drive and Columbia Pike. If your house has a story, like an O'Hara build, that goes in the listing too.
If either of you is buying next where we are licensed, we can help with that purchase. See buying a home with us, or read more on our Barcroft page.
