Whether you’ve experienced divorce personally, are currently supporting a friend or client through it, or work as a realtor or attorney, today’s episode is packed with practical advice and crucial pitfalls to avoid. We’re thrilled to be joined by Amy Malamut, a longtime friend, former divorce attorney, and now a mortgage loan officer at one of New Jersey’s top teams. Amy’s rare combination of legal and mortgage expertise gives her a unique perspective, one that less than 1% of loan officers can claim. We talk candidly about what commonly gets missed in property settlement agreements, the consequences of boilerplate legal language, and why timing and communication make all the difference between a successful refinance and a last-minute scramble. We explore the emotional, financial, and logistical hurdles people face when separating property during a divorce, and Amy shares real-life scenarios from both sides: those who planned ahead and those caught off guard. Plus, we outline actionable advice for both attorneys and realtors and wrap up with essential reminders for anyone navigating this challenging process.
