Request a Free Presentation On How I Will Market and Sell Your Home. Remember, All REALTORS® Are NOT Alike.  A "Listing Presentation" is an industry term for the formal presentation that a REALTOR® makes to prospective home sellers, trying to earn their trust and business. Don't list your home with a real estate agent without it! I would love the opportunity to make such a presentation to you. I'll visit your North County Home in: Vista, San Marcos, Oceanside, Escondido, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Santa Fe, or Poway, and together we will walk through it, considering the positives and negatives (if any!). You will then see exactly how I would propose to sell your home, for as much as the market will bear, and within your time frame. I will tell you where I will advertise your home, both in print and on the web. With the dramatic growth in homebuyer usage of the web, you MUST have a top REALTOR® that can extensively market your home online! And you'll find out what your Vista, San Marcos, Oceanside, Escondido, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Santa Fe, or Poway home is worth, because part of my presentation will include a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) of your home. I'll compare your home to others like it in Vista, San Marcos, Oceanside, Escondido, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Santa Fe, or Poway that have recently sold, and also to others that are currently for sale. I will explain to you WHY other homes in the area are priced where they are, and how this relates to YOUR home. This is a very important way of determining the fair market value of your home. I do complimentary presentations and prepare CMAs for prospective home sellers every day. I've literally done thousands, and I know exactly what puts a big SOLD sign in your front yard. I'd love the chance to make a presentation for you. It is totally complimentary and without any obligation. Call me anytime on my cell (760) 519-8723! Or fill out this form... Yes, you can request a FREE in-home presentation of how I would market your property anywhere in North County: in Vista, San Marcos, Oceanside, Escondido, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Santa Fe, or Poway! I do these presentations for people all the time. It's my job! There's no obligation, and I'll get back to you quickly...
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.
