Two owners, two attorneys, and one house that has to sell. James Buckley at Canopy Property Group has 19+ years in Montgomery County and a set process for divorce sales. He stays neutral, keeps both spouses equally informed, and works directly with family law attorneys to get the best result for both sides.

How is a divorce home sale different?

Two principals may disagree on price, timing, and strategy. The sale often has to line up with legal proceedings, and a court order may set conditions or require an independent broker's opinion of value. Emotions run high on both sides. An agent who takes sides or misprices the home can slow the divorce and cost everyone money.

What should divorcing owners know about selling in Kensington?

Kensington ZIP 20895 homes sold in a median of 8 days over the 12 months ending September 30, 2026, at a median of $885,000 and a 100.0% sold-to-list price ratio (Bright MLS).
