How to Successfully Sell Your Minnesota Home with a VA Loan During a Divorce: The Importance of Hiring a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE®)

Military Veterans Real Estate
Written By Shannon Lindstrom

Selling a home during divorce can be emotionally and legally complex, especially when a VA loan is involved. For Minnesota veterans, understanding how to navigate both divorce and VA loan guidelines is crucial to protecting financial interests and maximizing benefits. A Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE®) such as Shannon Lindstrom with RE/MAX Results specializes in these matters, providing valuable guidance to veterans through this challenging process.

Key Considerations for Selling a Home with a VA Loan

VA loans offer significant advantages, such as no down payment and competitive interest rates, but selling a home with one during divorce introduces complexities. One key aspect is the veteran’s VA loan entitlement, which may reset upon selling the home. This offers the opportunity to apply for a new VA loan for future purchases. A CDRE® ensures the sale is handled strategically to preserve these benefits.

Selling to a Non-Veteran Spouse

If a non-veteran spouse wishes to keep the home, they may be able to assume the VA loan. This requires approval from the mortgage lender, along with a credit check and eligibility review.

Divorce Property Division and VA Loan Impact

The division of property during divorce can affect both parties’ financial stability, especially with VA loans. A CDRE® helps manage the sale of the marital home and ensures the process is handled impartially, providing the best outcomes for both parties involved.

Why a CDRE® is Essential

A CDRE® is specifically trained to navigate the unique challenges of divorce real estate. They manage negotiations, coordinate with legal and financial professionals, and ensure the process runs smoothly for both parties. With their expertise, veterans and spouses can make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

Selling a home during divorce is challenging, and the involvement of a VA loan adds layers of complexity. Working with a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE®) ensures that the sale is handled efficiently, with careful attention to both divorce proceedings and VA loan guidelines.
