A practical, pressure-free workshop to help you understand your options with the marital home.
Divorce and separation can make the family home feel like the biggest question mark of all. This workshop is designed to help you understand your options, avoid common financial pitfalls, and make informed decisions about what happens next with your home.
Led by Jason Penner, REALTOR® and Chad Wilson, AMP (Accredited Mortgage Professional), you’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of the real estate and mortgage realities that often come up during separation, including timelines, affordability, and what to plan for before making major decisions.
What we’ll cover:
The 3 main options for the marital home
- Sell & Split
- Spousal Buyout / Refinance
- Deferred Sale (“Nest”)
- How home value is determined (and which date matters)
- What lenders look at when refinancing after separation
- Common mistakes that can impact your credit, settlement, and timeline
- Title vs mortgage: what actually changes (and what doesn’t)
- The importance of building the right support team (lawyer, lender, REALTOR®, accountant)
Who this is for:
- Homeowners who are separated, divorcing, or considering separation
- Anyone trying to understand their options before making a decision
- People who want clarity and a plan, without pressure
What you’ll leave with:
A practical roadmap, key questions to ask, and a take-home one-pager to help you move forward with confidence. This workshop is educational and informational only. No legal advice will be provided.
Can’t make it that day?
No problem. If you’re not able to attend the workshop but still want clarity on your options, you can book a private 1-on-1 conversation with Jason Penner (REALTOR®) and/or Chad Wilson, AMP.
We can meet by phone or Zoom at a time that works best for you.
In a private meeting, I can help you:
- Understand your 3 main options for the home (sell, buyout/refinance, or defer)
- Talk through timelines and what decisions usually come first
- Identify common financial and mortgage pitfalls to avoid
- Get clear on what information you’ll need to move forward confidently
No pressure. No sales pitch.
Just practical guidance so you can make informed decisions during a stressful time.
