Two people, one asset, and a process that has to hold up if anyone reviews it later. Matt has spent years on exactly these files, working alongside attorneys and, where the court has directed the sale, to that direction.
It is almost never the market. It is that two people who no longer agree on much have to agree on a price, a plan, and a set of terms, and the usual listing process gives them no neutral ground to do it on.
Matt works as the neutral party in the middle. That is the whole job, and it only works if it is visible.

If both are on title, both normally have to sign the listing agreement, and both have to sign to sell. Where the parties cannot agree, the court may direct how the sale proceeds. What applies in your situation is a question for your attorney. Matt's role starts once there is authority to sell.
Ideally both parties, working from the same documented valuation. Matt builds that valuation on comparable sales and current market data, presents it to both sides and both attorneys at the same time, and puts the reasoning in writing. Where the court has directed a process for setting price, that governs.
Yes, and to the other party's attorney. Matt has worked alongside family law attorneys for years and has been retained as an expert witness, deposed, and called to testify. He can provide documentation, written updates, and testimony where those are needed.
Matt scopes the work, prices it, and shows what each item is likely to return at sale. Most disputes about repairs are really disputes about money, and they get easier once both sides can see which repairs pay for themselves and which do not.
Yes. Nothing is marketed or discussed with anyone outside the file until there is a decision to move forward, and Matt does not discuss the circumstances of a sale with buyers or their agents.
No. The value of a neutral is that both sides can rely on the information. Matt will give both parties the same answer to the same question, including when the answer is one nobody wanted.
