Listen "Episode 10: Housing After Divorce: What You Need, What You Can Afford, and What’s Realistic"
Episode Synopsis
One of the first — and most emotional — questions women ask in divorce is: "Can I keep the house?"
In this candid and educational episode, Taylor and Rachel sit down with Tina Hagen, mortgage loan originator at Guild Mortgage, to explore the biggest real estate questions that come up during and after divorce.
Whether you're hoping to refinance and stay in the family home, wondering what’s realistic based on your income, or facing pressure to sell and start fresh — this episode will walk you through what’s actually possible.
We cover:
What lenders look for when you’re trying to refinance post-divorce
How equity, debt, and support payments impact mortgage eligibility
Smart timelines for buying, selling, or waiting
When it makes financial sense to stay vs. let go
Creative solutions when one party can't qualify on their own
Tina brings warmth, facts, and a whole lot of common sense to a conversation that feels overwhelming for many.
If you're navigating housing decisions in your divorce — don’t miss this one.
