Do we have to sell the house, or can one of us buy the other out?

Selling isn't the only option when co-owners disagree; one owner can often buy out the other's share if they can qualify to refinance the mortgage solely in their name and both sides agree on a fair value. An appraisal or a current comparative market analysis establishes that buyout number. Joel Boss can provide the valuation so both paths are grounded in the same real figures.
