More often than not, divorces can be rather stressful and very draining. They are time consuming as well. Often, when you are trying to divide up the assets, the house comes into play, and many opt to sell it. This often makes the living expense easier for both parties and gives you some cash (and cushion) for a new place, as you may now be living off of one income rather than two.
Selling a house on Long Island can often take a while. In fact, the average time on market is currently 6.5 months. (This of course assumes that the house is priced well and there is easy access to the home). Of course, there is also all the prep work needed to get your house market ready. This may including painting, sanding the floors, making minor repairs, cleaning and clearing out items. This, of course takes time (often 3 to 6 months) and it can cost money, too (which may be challenging while you're going through a divorce).
Also, while this is happening, the house is costing you money - real estate taxes, mortgage payments, maintenance costs, etc. The longer it takes, the more it costs you. Likewise, the sooner you sell, the less it will cost you.
For many, they just want and need closure, so they can move on with their life and get settled with their finances.
If this sounds like you, and you want to or NEED to sell super fast, there is an alternative. Rather than going the traditional route of listing your home with a real estate agent, you may want to consider selling to a cash investor. A cash investor can buy your home right away. They can even take care of all the repairs.
