A Fair and Professional Approach to a Fresh Start

Selling a home during a divorce requires more than real estate expertise. It requires empathy, discretion and a clear understanding of how legal, financial and emotional factors intersect. At Kirby Chan & Co. Real Estate Team , we specialise in divorce-related home sales across Richmond Hill, Markham and surrounding Ontario communities, supporting separating homeowners through one of the most sensitive transitions they may face.

Kirby Chan brings a balanced and strategic approach to each divorce sale, acting as a neutral professional for both parties while ensuring the process remains transparent, organised and respectful. With extensive experience in property valuation, pricing strategy and negotiation, decisions are guided by market data and practical considerations rather than emotion, helping both parties protect their financial interests throughout the sale.

From preparing an objective valuation to managing marketing, negotiations and closing coordination, every step is handled with care and confidentiality. Whether you are dividing assets, downsizing or preparing for a new beginning, our role is to ensure the sale is efficient, fair and professionally managed so both parties can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Our Divorce Property Sale Process

Step 1: Private Consultation

We meet with both parties, together or separately, to understand priorities, timelines and any legal considerations that may affect the sale.

Step 2: Home Valuation and Strategy

We prepare a neutral, market-based valuation to ensure both parties have a clear and shared understanding of the home’s fair market value.

Step 3: Property Preparation and Marketing

Our team coordinates staging, photography and listings to attract qualified buyers while keeping the presentation professional and impartial.

Step 4: Offer Review and Communication

We manage all communication with transparency and fairness, presenting offers objectively and keeping both parties informed throughout the process.

Step 5: Negotiation and Agreement

We negotiate strategically to achieve strong pricing and terms while respecting the unique dynamics of a separation.

Step 6: Closing Coordination and Transition

We coordinate closely with lawyers and financial representatives to ensure proceeds are distributed according to the agreed settlement.
