Protect Your Equity.
Reduce the Conflict.
Move Forward.
Selling a home during divorce is one of the most financially consequential decisions you will face. You deserve a specialist — not a generalist who happens to be available.
The Certifications That Set This Apart
These credentials represent hundreds of hours of specialized training in divorce law, court processes, collaborative resolution, senior housing transitions, and broker-level accountability. Attorneys, mediators, and judges recognize them as the mark of a true specialist.
The CDRE is the most rigorous and widely recognized divorce real estate certification in the U.S. It requires deep training in family law, court-ordered transactions, neutral representation, documentation standards, and high-conflict communication. Attorneys and judges nationwide recognize the CDRE as the definitive mark of a real specialist.
The RCS-D focuses on collaborative divorce processes — where both parties and their attorneys work together toward resolution without litigation. This equips Troy to function within collaborative legal teams, providing structured cooperative real estate expertise that reduces conflict and lowers attorney costs for both spouses.
The SRES designation recognizes expertise in serving homeowners aged 50 and above — including the financial, emotional, and lifestyle considerations involved in selling a longtime family home. For divorces involving older homeowners or decades-long marital properties, this expertise ensures a dignified and financially sound process.
Broker
An Associate Broker holds a higher level of real estate licensure than a standard agent — requiring additional education, experience, and a separate broker's examination. For attorneys, judges, and clients navigating complex or court-ordered transactions, working with an Associate Broker signals a measurably higher standard of professional accountability.
Facing One of the
Hardest Decisions of Your Life
The family home is often the largest marital asset — and the most emotionally charged. Decisions about that home affect your financial future, your legal outcome, and your ability to move forward.
Whether the sale is voluntary, contested, or court-ordered — you need someone who understands the legal, emotional, and financial complexities that a traditional agent simply does not.
Talk to Troy — No ObligationYou & your spouse agreed to sell
You want the process handled professionally and with full transparency so neither party feels taken advantage of.
Your spouse is not cooperating
One party refuses to sign, delays showings, or sabotages the sale. You need someone experienced in high-conflict situations.
A judge has ordered the sale
Court-ordered sales require strict compliance with court directives, accurate documentation, and attorney-ready reporting.
You want to protect your equity
Poor pricing decisions and emotional interference cost homeowners thousands. You need a calm, data-driven professional managing the transaction.
The Hidden Risks of Selling
Without a Specialist
Most real estate agents are not trained in divorce law, court processes, or high-conflict communication. The wrong agent can cost you far more than their commission.
Lost Equity from Mispricing
Emotional decision-making, rushed timelines, and poor market positioning can significantly reduce sale prices. A specialist uses data — not emotion — to price correctly and protect every dollar of your equity.
Legal Complications
Divorce home sales involve attorneys, courts, title companies, and sometimes mediators. Mistakes in documentation or non-compliance with court orders can create serious legal liability for both parties.
Conflict Escalation
Without a neutral, experienced third party managing the transaction, routine decisions become battles. A divorce real estate specialist de-escalates conflict and keeps the sale on track.
Delayed Closings
A non-cooperating spouse, missed deadlines, or mishandled court directives can stall a sale for months — accumulating carrying costs, attorney fees, and emotional stress for everyone involved.
Unfair Proceeds Distribution
Without proper documentation and clear attorney communication, the distribution of sale proceeds can be disputed, delayed, or challenged — reopening wounds and increasing legal costs.
Choosing the Wrong Side
A traditional agent hired by one spouse creates an inherent conflict of interest. Both parties deserve neutral, professional representation so neither questions the integrity of the transaction.
Every month a divorce home sale is delayed costs the average Utah homeowner thousands of dollars in unnecessary expenses.

What Clients Say
After the Sale
Every situation is different. Every outcome matters. Here is what clients say about working with Troy through one of the most difficult transactions of their lives.
"My ex-spouse refused to cooperate with anything. Troy stayed completely calm, communicated professionally with both sides, and kept the sale on track despite constant interference. We closed on time and I got a fair price. I could not have done this without a specialist."
"Troy communicated with my attorney directly, kept everything documented, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. The sale went smoother than I ever expected given our situation. He knows exactly what he is doing."
"Even though my spouse and I agreed to sell, we were both worried the process wouldn't be fair. Troy treated us both with equal respect, explained every step clearly, and we both walked away feeling protected."
Helping Families
Beyond the Closing Table
My commitment to Utah families doesn't end at closing. Divorce and housing instability are closely connected — and too many Utah families fall through the cracks when they need help most.
That is why I founded Treasured Housing Foundation — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides emergency housing, transitional support, and home repair assistance for families in crisis across Utah.

Most agents are not trained in the unique legal, emotional, and financial complexities of divorce transactions. A CDRE has completed specialized training to handle court orders, work with both attorneys, manage high-conflict situations, and protect the integrity of the transaction. The cost of using the wrong agent — in lost equity, delays, and legal complications — typically far exceeds any perceived savings.
-
An Associate Broker holds a higher level of real estate licensure — requiring additional education, demonstrated experience, and a separate broker's examination. For attorneys and judges evaluating who should manage a contested or court-ordered transaction, working with an Associate Broker represents a measurably higher standard of professional accountability. Many family law attorneys specifically seek out brokers for complex transactions. It matters.
-
This is one of the most common situations I work in. Because I represent the transaction — not either party — I can be appointed by both attorneys or ordered by the court as the neutral listing agent. I have experience being introduced into high-conflict situations mid-process and getting sales back on track.
-
When a court orders the sale of a marital home, the judge typically specifies pricing parameters, listing timelines, and how proceeds are to be distributed. I work directly with both attorneys to ensure every step is documented, compliant with the court order, and reported accurately. I have extensive experience navigating court-ordered transactions in Washington County, Utah.
-
This is very common and requires careful handling. I manage both sides professionally — establishing clear showing protocols, property condition expectations, and communication channels that work for everyone involved. The occupying spouse's concerns are valid. The non-occupying spouse's concerns are valid. My job is to serve both equally.
-
My fiduciary duty is to the transaction and the outcome — not to either individual. I communicate with both parties equally, document all decisions transparently, and never share information between parties that could be used adversarially. Both attorneys are kept informed at every stage. My goal is a clean, well-documented sale that neither party can dispute.
-
I serve all of Washington County including St. George, Hurricane, Washington, Ivins, Santa Clara, La Verkin, and surrounding communities. I also serve Cedar City and broader Southern Utah areas.
