Next free Zoom: second Saturday, 9:00 AM Mountain · in a few days · Divorce and the House: sell it, keep it or buy out?
Call or text 303-955-4220. A live person answers. Not a robot, not a phone tree.
Every option, with the math
Sell, refinance, HELOC, assume, defer, convert, nest: what each costs on a real Denver example.
The rules that catch people
The injunction, the valuation date, the refinance deadline, the $250,000 / $500,000 rule, the quitclaim myth.
The checklist and the action plan
Documents, money moves, what not to do, thirteen decisions before you list, your first 48 hours.
Colorado numbers
$260 to file, 21 days, 42 days, 91 days, the maintenance formula, the court for every metro county.
Get the guide. It is free.
20 pages, plain English, Denver-metro numbers: who gets the house, the buyout math, selling during the case, court-ordered sales, taxes, the checklist and your first 48 hours. Tell us where to send it and the PDF opens right away. Read it online or print it. Both spouses welcome.
A 20-page PDF in the same format as our Colorado short-sale and CHFA guides, written by The Kenna Group with our designated divorce specialist. Eighteen numbered sections, callout boxes for the catches, Denver-metro numbers, a checklist, a first-48-hours action plan, and sources on the last page. General education, not legal, tax or lending advice, and it says so on every page.
