Life often presents pivotal moments that reshape our reality. The dissolution of a marriage is one such challenge, demanding resilience and adaptability. Amid divorce proceedings, the family home holds immense emotional weight. Yet, many agents lack the specialized training to navigate this terrain effectively. Partnering with a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE) means collaborating with a top-tier professional, supported by a dedicated community committed to expert guidance. Without this specialized support, crucial details may be overlooked, akin to a lawyer unfamiliar with family law handling a divorce case. Divorce real estate poses unique challenges, from managing restraining orders to mediating disputes. Trained through the esteemed Ilumini Institute, I bring specialized skills to the table, including managing high-conflict situations and understanding domestic violence legalities. As walworth County’s first Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert™, I am equipped to guide you through every aspect of the process, offering expert support and resources along the way.

Consider this scenario: A close friend, Sarah, is going through a divorce and has hired a lawyer who specializes in corporate law to represent her. While the lawyer is experienced and highly regarded in their field, they lack expertise in family law. As the divorce proceedings progress, Sarah realizes that her lawyer is struggling to navigate the complexities of child custody arrangements and spousal support negotiations. Meanwhile, Sarah is also in the process of selling the family home as part of the divorce settlement. She decides to work with a real estate agent who is renowned for their success in selling luxury properties. However, this agent lacks specialization in divorce real estate. As the sale of the family home progresses, Sarah encounters various legal and emotional challenges. The real estate agent, though skilled in traditional property transactions, fails to anticipate the unique needs and concerns that arise in divorce-related real estate transactions. Critical aspects such as coordinating with Sarah's lawyer to ensure compliance with court orders, addressing concerns related to the division of marital assets, and handling the emotional complexities of selling a home amidst a divorce are overlooked. In this scenario, both Sarah's lawyer and real estate agent, while competent in their respective fields, struggle to provide the specialized guidance and support needed during a divorce. This underscores the importance of working with professionals who have expertise in family law and divorce real estate, such as Certified Divorce Real Estate Experts (CDREs), to ensure a smoother and more successful outcome.

As a first time buyer, I have no one to compare Erlene to, but she's the best of the best! Erlene is knowledgeable about market prices and the purchase process, quick to find potential issues, and knows exactly the right houses based on your preferences. Beyond those great skills, the best part of working with Erlene was how quick she responded and moved things along. Highly recommend!
