This isn\u2019t about who mowed the lawn or paid for the new water heater\u2014it\u2019s about what\u2019s on paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tenants in common (TIC):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Each person owns a specific share of the property, which can be unequal. One person can sell their share without the others.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Joint tenancy with right of survivorship:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Everyone owns the property equally, and if an owner dies, their share passes to the others.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tenancy by the entirety:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Reserved for married couples. You jointly own the entire property, and full ownership passes to the surviving spouse upon death. Divorce typically converts it to a tenancy in common.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>LLC or Trust Ownership:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the house is owned under a legal entity, different rules apply, and you&#8217;ll need to honor the predetermined agreement governing the group.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t know which situation applies, you should be able to find this information on the deed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure everyone\u2019s on the same page<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just because one owner wants to sell doesn\u2019t mean the others do\u2014or that they have to. Unless the ownership agreement says otherwise, everyone needs to agree to list the property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the time for a blunt conversation. What\u2019s the price? Who picks the agent? Who pays for repairs or staging? What if one person refuses to sign? These are all things that need to be figured out before the property hits the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put everything in writing. You don\u2019t need a 40-page document filled with legalese, just something that says: here\u2019s the plan, here\u2019s the timeline, and here\u2019s what we do if someone reneges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-102746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-3.jpg\" alt=\"potential buyers waiting for a real estate agent to open the door\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-3-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-3-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-3-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a point person<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can definitely be difficult to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/how-to-sell-your-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sell a house<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by committee. Buyers get spooked when there are five different voices at the table, and multiple points of contact can make agents\u2019 lives a lot more difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Appoint one person to handle communication with your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin agent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, contractors, and title company. Give them power to sign paperwork\u2014but only within agreed boundaries. You can do this with a simple limited power of attorney or a written agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This doesn\u2019t mean they make decisions solo. It just means they carry the ball.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Handle the title and debts upfront<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you get too far down the road, pull a title report. Make sure there aren\u2019t surprise liens, unpaid taxes, or long-lost co-owners who vanished in the 90s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If one of the owners owes money and there\u2019s a lien against their share, it has to be cleared before closing. Same goes for a divorce settlement that never got finalized or a trust that wasn\u2019t properly transferred. These issues are fixable\u2014but not overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, if there\u2019s a mortgage, figure out how much is left. Any unpaid balance will come out of the sale proceeds before anyone sees a dime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decide how to split the money before it hits the table<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t wait until closing day to figure out who gets what. If ownership is split equally and everyone pitched in equally over the years, this is straightforward. But that\u2019s rarely how it goes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe one person paid the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/how-much-down-payment-for-a-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">down payment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, another did all the upkeep, and a third lived there rent-free for a decade. Maybe someone fronted the property taxes when money was tight. Those details matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can agree to divide the proceeds differently than the deed reflects\u2014but everyone needs to agree in writing. If you\u2019re not sure what\u2019s fair, bring in a real estate attorney or mediator to iron out the details in a fair way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-102743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-4.jpg\" alt=\"People arguing over the financials of selling a shared property\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-4-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-4-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Shutterstock_rf-shmo-4-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When someone doesn\u2019t cooperate<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s the harsh truth: if one of the owners refuses to sell and there&#8217;s no agreement forcing them to, you\u2019re stuck.
