"Joe is knowledgeable and professional"
“Joe was referred to us through a mutual friend. We were moving to Florida from Virginia and we needed a lot of help learning about the area; understanding what the real estate market had to offer, etc., and we had to do it all very quickly. Our friend told us that Joe was knowledgeable, professional, and very easy to talk to. We quickly learned that he was all of those things and more! He talked to us about our needs, shared a variety of options with us, and in a short time, helped us find the perfect home.” “When we had to speed up our moving process, he graciously helped us find short-term housing and made our relocation run very, very smoothly. From the beginning, we knew that Joe had our best interests in mind. He always responded quickly to out calls and emails, and he was there for us through every step of our relocation process.”

Tax Considerations >Taxpayer Relief
Legislation included in the 1997 federal budget made significant changes that improve a homeowner's ability to profit from the sale of real estate.
The capital gains tax exclusions on the sale of a principal residence is just one of several benefits for homeowners. When you sell a home you have owned and use for two of the five years prior to the sale, married couples are allowed to keep up to $500,000 in tax-free profits and taxpayers filing as singles can keep up to $250,000 before paying capital gains tax.
Long-term capital gain is also taxed at lower rates as a result of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act passed in 2003. The maximum capital gains tax rates dropped from 20% to 15% and from 10% to 5%, effective for sales and exchanges taking place on or after May 6, 2003 and through December 31, 2007. In 2008 the 15% rate continues for higher income taxpayers, while the 5% rate for lower income taxpayers drops to 0%, but only for the 2008 tax year. On January 1, 2009, the 10% and 20% rates will be reinstated.
Consult your tax advisor for advice regarding your particular circumstance.
