Considerations With The Family Home In Divorce
In this engaging episode, Mardi Winder sits down with Kim Costa, a seasoned Realtor® with Sotheby's International Realty and creator of the Wheel House Method, to explore how life transitions—especially divorce—impact our relationship with home, finances, and personal wellbeing. Drawing from her own experience of divorce and remarriage, Kim offers thoughtful perspectives on the challenges of moving and the importance of aligning one’s living environment with new life goals.
The conversation offers practical advice around making housing decisions during and after divorce, highlighting the financial complexities many overlook. Kim explains how her lifestyle-based approach, inspired by tools like the Wheel of Life, helps clients evaluate not only their finances but also their emotional needs and sense of community. She discusses the importance of conducting an honest inventory of one’s current situation and encourages listeners to explore new possibilities, whether that means relocating or reassessing what truly brings joy in the home.
They touch on common misunderstandings people have about keeping or selling the family home, and Kim offers strategies for testing out potential new locations, from short-term rentals to consulting local realtors about taxes and hidden costs. Throughout the episode, Mardi and Kim underscore the value of seeking trusted advice and staying open to change as a way to rediscover personal happiness.
