"You Never Gave Up"
"Thanks for all you and your wonderful staff did for enabling us to sell our home in these very difficult times."
"You never gave up and always had a positive attitude and kept on showing the property with lots of constant advertising and open houses."
"You constantly showed interest at all times, and you got it sold."
"I don't think any other agent does the marketing that you do to sell the property, but even most importantly, with so many new people in the business, your 30 plus years as a Real Estate Professional were obvious with your expertise in handling the various challenges."
"I would recommend you as a Real Estate Professional without any reservations, please feel free to have any potential customer contact me with any questions."
Thank you again,LtCol Stephen A. Goceljak USMCR

First Time Buyers >Your Principal Residence
The Federal Tax Code allows married taxpayers to exclude from capital gains taxes up to $500,000 in profits from selling a home (singles can exclude $250,000). In order to qualify for this exemption, you must prove that that the home has been your principal residence for at least two out of the last five years. The establishment of the home as a principal residence depends on the facts of each homeowner's circumstance. Here are two cases to consider.
Homeowner A has lived at 25 Pine Drive for 12 years. Although he stays at his vacation cottage in another town for up to three months out of each year (sometimes more), 25 Pine Drive is his principal residence, where he lives most of the time. When he sells the home, Homeowner A (filing as a single individual) can keep up to $250,000 in tax-free profit.
Homeowner B buys 108 Maple Street, intending to live there. He rents it out while waiting to sell his current home, where he has lived for six years. His principal residence sells at the end of two years. Homeowner B moves into his new house, lives there for three months, and then decides to travel. After a six-month trip, he regrets buying 108 Maple Street and sells it. Even though he has owned the house on Maple Street for over two years, it won't qualify as "owner-occupied", because he only lived in it for a few months. Thus Homeowner B is not eligible to claim the tax exemption when he sells the house on Maple Street.
Consult your tax advisor for advice about your particular circumstance.
