Real Estate During Divorce Requires a Specialist
The family home is almost always the largest asset in a divorce. It carries more financial weight, more legal complexity, and more emotional significance than any other piece of property a couple shares. Getting it wrong -- choosing an agent who does not understand the intersection of family law and real estate, or one who takes sides when they should stay neutral -- can cost thousands of dollars in attorney fees, delay your divorce proceedings for months, or leave significant equity on the table.
Jennifer Lasco is a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert -- the only CDRE in Genesee County. The CDRE designation is earned through the Ilumni Institute's rigorous application-only program, taught by a faculty of family law attorneys, certified mediators, mortgage professionals, divorce financial analysts, and a sitting judge. The 40-hour certification covers the full anatomy of divorce as it intersects with real estate: property valuation for court proceedings, neutrality and conflict de-escalation, the divorce listing process, and divorce finance.
The certification requires annual renewal and ongoing continuing education. Jennifer spends several hours each week in ongoing case studies and education presented by the nation's leading divorce real estate practitioners, family law attorneys, judges, and lending professionals. When you hire Jennifer Lasco for a divorce real estate matter, you are working with the most comprehensively trained divorce real estate professional in Genesee County.
How We Can Help You
Selling the Marital Home
Listing & Selling During Divorce
Whether the sale is mutually agreed upon or court-ordered, Jennifer serves as a certified neutral party -- communicating equally and identically with both spouses and their attorneys throughout the process. She understands how to price the home accurately using court-defensible market data, manage showings when one or both parties are still in the home, handle impasses over offers or price reductions, and coordinate with both legal teams to keep the sale moving forward on timeline.
Buying After Divorce
Finding Your Next Home
After the marital home is sold, both parties often need to find somewhere new -- often simultaneously, on a tight timeline, and on a significantly different budget than they had as a couple. Jennifer works with each spouse individually to identify the right communities, price ranges, and property types for their new circumstances across Fenton, Grand Blanc, Linden, Holly, and surrounding areas.
One Spouse Buying Out the Other
Buyout & Equity Division
In cases where one spouse wants to keep the marital home, an accurate and defensible property valuation is essential to ensure an equitable buyout. Jennifer provides market analysis that can be used by both parties and their attorneys to establish a fair current market value -- with documentation that holds up to scrutiny from opposing counsel and the court.
What Happens When You Use the Wrong Agent
A standard real estate agent is not trained to handle the specific dynamics of a divorce sale. When disputes arise between spouses over list price, showing access, or offer acceptance -- and they nearly always do -- an untrained agent either gets pulled into the conflict, inadvertently takes sides, or freezes. Every conflict that cannot be resolved at the real estate level escalates to the attorneys. And at an average rate of $300 or more per hour for divorce attorneys in Michigan, that is an expensive escalation.
Jennifer's CDRE training covers exactly these scenarios -- how to present offers neutrally when spouses disagree, how to handle price reduction disputes, how to manage access to the home when one party is uncooperative, and when and how to involve the attorneys. The result is fewer escalations, less attorney time billed, and a faster path to closing for both parties.
For Family Law Attorneys
If you are a family law attorney in Genesee County or the surrounding area, Jennifer Lasco is the real estate partner your practice needs. As the only CDRE in Genesee County, she is uniquely qualified to serve as a neutral listing agent in contested divorce cases, provide court-defensible property valuations, testify as a real estate expert witness when called upon, and manage the real estate component of even the most contentious cases without adding to your client's legal burden.
Court-Appointment Eligible
Jennifer can be appointed by the court as the neutral real estate expert in cases where both parties cannot agree on an agent.
Expert Witness Testimony
Trained to testify in family law proceedings on real property values with documentation that meets the evidentiary standards courts require.
Certified Neutrality
CDRE training includes explicit neutrality protocols -- equal communication with both parties and both legal teams, reducing conflict escalation and attorney billable time.
Conflict De-escalation
Trained specifically in managing high-conflict communication between divorcing parties -- disputes that would otherwise land back in your office at $300+ per hour.
