Selling a Home During Divorce in Costa Mesa

A neutral, organized sale with the same clear information for both parties.

Two owners, one clear process

In a divorce, the home is often the biggest decision two people still have to make together. A neutral agent, one set of facts and a clear record of every decision make that easier.

I'm Jeanette Nelson of Jeanette Nelson Real Estate at Keller Williams Realty.

How I handle it

  • The same information, at the same time, for both of you
  • Coordination with your attorneys or mediator
  • A price supported by sales of similar Costa Mesa properties. See Costa Mesa home values.
  • If the property has a rental unit, a plan for the tenant during the sale
  • A written record of offers and decisions

I don't give legal or tax advice.

What comes next

If one or both of you want to stay nearby, Costa Mesa's condos and townhomes can be a good fit. See buying in Costa Mesa and my divorce home sale page.

Costa Mesa at a glance

Where Character Meets Coastal Living.

The homes
Eclectic. A mix of residential zoning and development patterns: single-family homes alongside duplexes and other multifamily properties, condos, townhomes, accessory units, older cottages, remodeled homes and newer construction. Architecture, lot configurations and property types can vary street to street.
Why people choose it
People choose it for its variety and personality, and to enjoy neighboring Newport Beach's beaches, restaurants, shopping and coastal lifestyle without Newport Beach home prices. Eastside Costa Mesa, Mesa Verde and the Westside each feel different.
Getting around
Access to the 55, 405 and 73, and close to Irvine, Newport Beach and John Wayne Airport.
Nearby
South Coast Plaza, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, a strong restaurant, coffee and local business scene, and Newport Beach next door.
The trade-off
Versus Huntington Beach: Costa Mesa is not a beach city. Parts of Eastside Costa Mesa are very close to the ocean, but there are no miles of coastline, beachfront bike path, pier or surf-town setting outside your door.
