Meet Jim Diaz
Real estate agent, Kenna Real Estate Group at Keller Williams DTC (KWDTC)
Jim Diaz is a divorce real estate agent with The Kenna Real Estate Group at Keller Williams DTC who specializes in selling homes for divorcing homeowners across metro Denver. Before real estate, Jim was a principal in a start-up that archived medical images, work that taught him attention to detail, problem-solving, and how to build relationships that last. All three are exactly what a divorce sale asks for: two spouses, two attorneys, a court deadline, and a file where nothing can be missed.
On a Kenna divorce listing the process is written, not improvised. Jim reviews the decree or stipulation before the home is listed, the group prepares one written market analysis for both spouses and both attorneys at the same moment, reviewed by Damon L. Chavez, Certified Real Estate Divorce Specialist, and the price, reductions, repairs, access and disbursement terms are written for the stipulation. Jim runs the showings on the agreed window, logs every showing and offer for both of you, relays offers with a net sheet within the hour, sets up separate signings if you want them, and confirms with the title company that the net proceeds go exactly where the court said. Court-ordered sales and spousal buyouts included.
Whether the house has to be sold, one spouse is buying the other out, or you are buying again on one income, Jim gives knowledgeable guidance and a calm process from start to finish. Looking for a divorce realtor in Denver, Aurora, Centennial or the south suburbs? Ask for Jim by name, or send the form; nobody contacts you unless you say yes.
Want to know more about Jim’s real estate experience? Jim’s profile, reviews and current listings on kennarealestate.com. And if you are reading this in the middle of a divorce: we know why you are here. Nobody will ask you to explain more than you want to, and nobody contacts you unless you say yes.
Part of the hardest working group in real estate. The Kenna Real Estate Group operates under Keller Williams Realty DTC, LLC in the Denver Tech Center, is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, and is led by team leader and licensed broker Brian Lee Burke. Brian leads every divorce file, with Damon L. Chavez, Certified Real Estate Divorce Specialist, reviewing the valuation. Why that matters when the house is in a divorce.
How a divorce sale with Jim works
- Call or text. Tell Jim where the case is (thinking about it, filed, decree entered) and whether one of you wants to stay. Here is the whole process.
- One written market analysis to both spouses at the same time. The group prepares the Smart Pricing Report, reviewed by Damon Chavez, Certified Real Estate Divorce Specialist; both of you and both attorneys get it at the same time. Appraisal versus CMA.
- Terms the court expects. Price rules, reductions, repairs, access and where the proceeds go, written into the stipulation or order before the sign goes up. Court-ordered sales.
- Jim runs the showings and the paperwork. Separate signings if you need them, a log of every showing and offer, and nothing about the divorce in the marketing.
- Close and disburse as ordered. Proceeds go exactly where the decree or stipulation says. The $250k / $500k tax rule.
