When a couple separates legally, their jointly owned property (like a house, land, or rental units) often needs to be:
- Sold and the proceeds split, or
- Transferred to one spouse as part of the divorce settlement.
This creates motivated seller opportunities in real estate because:
- Many couples prefer to sell quickly to finalize the divorce.
- Properties may be listed below market value to settle fast.
- Investors, wholesalers, and agents often target divorce leads as potential off-market deals.
👉 So, in real estate, “divorce” leads = property sales triggered by divorce settlements.
