Welcome to A Year and a Day. I’m Jaime Davis, board-certified family law attorney at Gailor Hunt. In this episode, I sit down with Autumn Dubois, founder and principal agent of Dubois Property Group, to discuss the strategic management of one of your most significant financial assets during a divorce: the family home.

Autumn shares her expertise on navigating the intersection of real estate and divorce, explaining why she views her role as "Switzerland"—a neutral third party dedicated to protecting the sale regardless of the conflict between spouses. We explore the importance of a tight listing strategy, why having a hard date in a separation agreement is the "absolute best scenario" for preventing delays, and how to manage the logistical hurdles of repairs and staging when homeowners are living separately.

Together, we weigh the pros and cons of when one party wants to stay in the family home and discuss the financial "red flags" that might make selling a better move than a buyout, the complexities of loan assumptions in today's market, and transitioning into a "new chapter" purchase. Autumn also provides a checklist for coordinating with divorce attorneys to ensure closing disclosures and proceed directives align with legal requirements, helping you maximize your profit and move forward with clarity.
