Guiding Western North Carolina Couples Through a Difficult Divorce Transition

Divorce is difficult enough without adding a complicated real estate transaction to the process. When a marital home needs to be sold, the situation can involve significant financial decisions, competing priorities, difficult communication, attorneys, deadlines and a tremendous amount of emotional stress.

Owners Only Real Estate provides specialized real estate expertise for clients navigating divorce-related property decisions in Western North Carolina.

Jason Brodsky Working Toward CDRE Certification for Complex Sales and brings extensive real estate experience to these particularly sensitive transactions.

Why Divorce Real Estate Requires Specialized Experience

A traditional home sale is already a major financial transaction. A divorce-related sale adds another layer: the property is jointly owned by two people who are working through the end of a marriage, often with attorneys, court deadlines and strained communication in the middle of it.

Our role is to provide the real estate expertise, market guidance, communication and transaction management — working within the direction set by both parties and their advisors. We don't take sides, and we don't give legal advice. What we do is keep the sale organized, professional, and moving forward.

The questions we help answer

  • Should the home be sold or retained?

  • What is the property worth in the current market?

  • How should the property be prepared for sale?

  • How should communication between the parties be handled?

  • What happens when the parties disagree?

  • How should the real estate professional work with the parties' attorneys?

  • How can the transaction remain organized and moving forward?

The CDRE Designation

The CDRE curriculum spans 12 intensive weeks and is taught by family law attorneys, mediators, certified mortgage professionals, and judges. It includes observation of equitable distribution cases in family court and concludes with a demanding oral examination. Completing the coursework does not guarantee certification.

CDRE-designated agents may also be called upon as expert witnesses in divorce cases and may provide continuing education for family law attorneys. This specialized training addresses the financial, legal, and interpersonal challenges that can arise when real estate is part of a divorce.

Success Stories

Every home sale carries a story. Here are two moments our team is especially proud to have been part of.

Helping a widow who needed to get home to Miami

3 Weeks

Sold & Closed

$65,000

Over List Price

After her husband passed away unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm, a client came to us needing to sell her home so she could move back to Miami to be near family. She was navigating grief and a major life transition at the same time — the last thing she needed was a long, uncertain sale process.

Our team moved quickly and strategically. The home was sold and closed within three weeks, and it sold for $65,000 over the original list price. We're proud that we could make an already difficult chapter of her life a little bit easier.

Navigating a High-Conflict Divorce Sale — When Other Firms Had Given Up

3 Firms

Had Stepped Away

CDRE

Trained Team

A divorcing couple came to us after three other real estate firms had stepped away from their transaction, largely because of how tense and difficult communication had become between the two parties.

Drawing on our team's CDRE training and our transaction coordinator's background as a family-law paralegal, we were able to keep the process moving, advocate fairly for both parties' shared interest in the sale, and get the marital property closed. We're proud of the role we played in helping this couple move forward into the next chapter of their lives.

You Don't Have to Figure It All Out at Once

If you're facing a divorce involving real estate, you may not know what the right next step is — and you don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Sometimes the first step is simply understanding the property's value, your options, and what the real estate process could look like.

We're here to help you understand the real estate side of the transition, without pressure.
