Welcome > Agent Info > Testimonials ...

He listened carefully to what I wanted to accomplish, and really took on making that happen. His dedication to client service is matched by his expertise and understanding of the Austin market. His advice on preparing the home and pricing for the market was always spot on. In addition, David put me in contact with a variety of trades people who carried out work quickly, efficiently and at very competitive prices. David handled my sale after I had already relocated from Austin, and he worked tirelessly to help coordinate everything that had to be done in order for the deal to be executed. On top of all that, David is a really nice guy and fun to work with. David may have equals in the Austin real estate business, but no superiors. I'll always be glad that I had the chance to work with him.

Real Estate Tips
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.
