The real estate industry will never tell you this , navigating a divorce while selling a home is one of the most emotionally loaded, legally complex, and financially critical decisions a person can face, and most agents are completely unprepared to handle it. The hidden truth about why hiring two separate realtors during a separation could silently destroy your sale price, scare off buyers, and cost you far more than you imagine.
Kristin Lamarre, real estate agent with RE/MAX Escarpment Realty Inc., built her career from a bartending background through COVID lockdowns into a thriving six year solo practice specialising in Hamilton, Burlington, and the Golden Horseshoe region. In this raw and deeply honest conversation, Kristin breaks down what nobody in real estate wants to admit about divorce listings, the emotional intelligence required to close them, and the uncomfortable realities of being a solo agent in one of Canada's most volatile housing markets.
