You're not wrong for wanting to keep the house.
For many people it represents stability, familiarity, and control during a time that feels anything but certain
But here's what most people don't find out until it's too late to change course: divorce agreements and mortgage guidelines don't always align. Being awarded the house in your settlement doesn't guarantee a lender will qualify you for it.
That gap is where the costly mistakes happen — and this ebook and workbook exist to help you see it before you're locked in.
What can go wrong if you don't get clear on this first:
Thinking you can keep the house — and later finding out you don't qualify
Taking on a payment that becomes unmanageable over time
Giving up retirement assets for home equity that doesn't actually support your future
Being forced to sell later, under pressure, on someone else's timeline
These situations aren't rare. They're just not talked about early enough.
Hi, I'm Tami Wollensak.
I'm a Divorce Mortgage Specialist with over 30 years of experience helping people figure out what to do with the house during divorce.
More importantly, I've sat at that kitchen table myself, trying to figure out what was actually possible.
What I see over and over: people making house decisions without knowing what a lender will actually require — and that can change everything. My work is to help you see that gap before anything is finalized, so you can move forward with a plan that actually works.
This is for you if:
You're going through a divorce and aren't sure keeping the house is even possible
You want to understand how mortgage qualification actually works post-divorce
You want clarity before anything is finalized — so you don't make a decision you regret

That insight alone changed everything.
