She can file a suit for partition. The court can partition the properties by sale.
You need to look at the divorce decree to see what it says to do about the houses. If it merely stated that each gets 50%, then you can file a motion to partition (sell) the properties, and split the proceeds. You can also sue him for 1/2 the back rents, less expenses.
