Sell your divorce Des Moines house for cash — we buy direct

Selling a marital home during divorce is typically about speed, fairness, and minimizing the friction between two parties who often want very different outcomes. Selling directly to us for cash bypasses the showings, the staging, and the negotiating over repair credits — which usually means fewer arguments and a faster split of the proceeds.

How a Iowa closing works

Iowa handles title differently from every other state: there is no conventional title insurance — title work runs on abstracts and attorney title opinions (with Iowa Title Guaranty available). It works fine for cash sales; it just means the title step involves an attorney.

Iowa’s transfer tax is about $1.60 per $1,000 of the price (with the first $500 exempt) — modest, and paid by the seller.
