Our "Seller Savings Program" Team Sandy Blanton will waive half of the professional fee when you list your property for sale with our Team. That's right! You can receive this savings if you are the procurring cause of the buyer making the purchase. In other words, when you list your property with us we will do everything we can to sell it, but if you find the buyer first then we will cut our professional fee in half. All you have to do is put us in contact with the buyer and we do all the work from there. If you have been trying to sell your property on your own this is a great way to continue doing this and at the same time receive our full real estate service. Call for more details...(850) 479-SOLD(7653) or toll free (877) 300-7653! $500 Rebate Program "We will sell it within 90 days or Pay You $500!" That's right, if we don't sell your house, condo, or townhome by the 90th day of our listing agreement, then we will pay you $500!  
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.
