Going through a divorce is one of life’s most difficult experiences — and when a shared home is involved, the real estate decisions that come with it can feel overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally exhausting. If you are navigating the sale of a home during a divorce in the Greater Milwaukee area, Tiffany Drahonovsky of Lucky Dog Real Estate, powered by Coldwell Banker Realty, is the agent you need in your corner.
Tiffany is a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE) — one of a very small number of agents in the Greater Milwaukee area to hold this specialized designation. The CDRE certification means Tiffany has received advanced training specifically in the legal, financial, and emotional complexities that divorce home sales involve — including working effectively with both parties and their attorneys, understanding the court-ordered sale process, navigating title and equity division issues, and managing a transaction where emotions run high and communication between the parties may be limited or strained.
She has also guided buyers through the home purchase process in the middle of a divorce — helping them find and secure a new home while managing the complexity of an ongoing legal separation. One verified buyer client shared this about her experience — “I’m in the middle of a divorce and there were a lot of hurdles to me getting to the closing, but Tiffany was patient with me throughout the whole process. She protected my interests at all times. She is diligent and communicates well. I’m deeply indebted to her.”
Beyond her CDRE certification, Tiffany is the published author of House Selling Options During a Divorce — a practical, plain-language guide designed to help homeowners understand their options and make informed decisions during one of the most stressful periods of their lives. She has also been featured as a guest expert on the Divorce and Mortgage Strategies Podcast with the Divorce Lending Association, where she shared her real estate expertise with a national audience of people navigating exactly this situation.
Tiffany has successfully helped clients sell their homes during divorce proceedings across multiple Greater Milwaukee area communities — including Milwaukee County, Waukesha County, and Racine County — bringing the same patient, discreet, and results-driven approach to every situation regardless of its complexity.
If you are going through a divorce and need to sell your home — or need to purchase a new one as part of your fresh start — Tiffany Drahonovsky is the Greater Milwaukee area’s most credentialed, experienced, and genuinely compassionate agent for exactly this situation.

## Frequently Asked Questions
### How is the marital home handled in a Wisconsin divorce?
Wisconsin is a community property state, which means the marital home is generally considered jointly owned and its
equity is subject to equal division. Spouses can agree to one party buying out the other, sell the home and split proceeds,
or in some cases defer the sale — but these decisions are best made with both an attorney and a certified divorce real
estate expert.
### Do both spouses have to agree to sell the house during a divorce in Wisconsin?
Ideally yes, but if spouses cannot agree, a Wisconsin court can order the home to be sold. Working with a neutral,
Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert like Tiffany Drahonovsky helps both parties feel represented without bias, which
often makes the process smoother and faster.
### How do I choose a real estate agent for a divorce home sale in Milwaukee?
Choose an agent who holds the Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE) designation — this means they have
specific training in divorce real estate transactions, understand how to work with both parties and their attorneys, and can
maintain neutrality throughout the process. Tiffany Drahonovsky at Lucky Dog Real Estate holds this designation.
### What happens to the house if we can’t agree during our Milwaukee divorce?
If divorcing spouses in Wisconsin cannot agree on what to do with the marital home, the court can appoint a receiver to
oversee the sale, or issue an order requiring the home to be listed and sold. Having an experienced agent engaged early
often prevents this outcome by facilitating communication between both parties.
### How quickly can I sell my home during a divorce in Greater Milwaukee?
In the current Greater Milwaukee market, properly priced homes typically sell within 30 to 60 days. Tiffany Drahonovsky
works efficiently with both parties and their attorneys to minimize delays and get to closing as smoothly as possible. Call
