Divorce is never easy—especially when shared property is involved. At Barron Brands, we know that real estate and divorce intersect in complex and emotional ways. That’s why we proudly offer the specialized services of Theresa Barron, a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE®) serving Ohio and Florida.

Whether you're a family law attorney looking for a neutral real estate partner or a couple navigating the sale of a home during a divorce, working with a CDRE® can protect your peace of mind and ensure a smooth legal process.
