Not legal or tax advice
The guides on this site explain how rules work in general, with links to where each rule comes from. They don't know your facts. They are not legal advice and not tax advice, and reading them does not make us your lawyer or your accountant. An attorney and a tax professional can tell you what applies to you.
Not a government office or a law firm
Even Ground Home Buyers is a private business. We are not a court, a county office, a government program, or a law firm, and we are not connected to any of the offices or help lines we list. We list them because they may help you.
We are the buyer you deal with, and we are not neutral
If you sell to us, we are on the other side of the table. We want to buy a house at a price that works for us. We don't take either spouse's side. We can't tell you who should keep the house or what a judge would decide.
Rules and sources can change
Laws, forms, fees, phone numbers, and office details change. We link to the source for each rule so you can check it, but a page may be out of date on the day you read it. Check the source, and ask your attorney, before you rely on it.
What an offer from us is
An offer is a written number we would actually buy the house at, with the math explained. Asking for one commits you to nothing. It is not an appraisal, and it is not what the house is worth. Please don't use it as a buyout price between spouses. An offer is not a sale: nothing closes without every owner, plus both spouses where the homestead rule applies, or a court's say, and a title company handles the closing.
