On this episode, we shine a spotlight on a critical, but often overlooked, part of the divorce process: mortgages and refinancing. Host Mardi Winder is joined by Stacey Ellison, a certified divorce lending professional and experienced divorce mortgage planner. Together, they demystify the financial hurdles divorcing homeowners face, including talking about assumptions, equity buyouts, and why what’s written in your divorce decree may not always be doable when the real world (and real lenders) get involved. Stacey Ellison draws on her expertise to explain how mortgage guidelines shift during divorce, what it actually takes to keep or refinance a home, and why consulting the right professionals can make or break your financial future during and after a split.

Whether your house is worth $200,000 or $10 million, you’ll walk away with practical insights into protecting your assets, qualifying for a loan, and building a sustainable post-divorce life. If you’re navigating divorce and property decisions, or just want to learn what goes on behind the scenes of housing settlements, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we dive into the details and help you prepare to make informed, empowered choices for your future!
