"A model of how the Internet can facilitate the process of deciding where to send your children to school" - America's Best School Profiles by The Heritage Foundation
American tax law offers a significant capital gains tax exemption that allows taxpaying homeowners to unlock home equity and end the spiraling cycle of "investing up." First-time buyers enjoy expanded rules for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) and 401(k) plans, rules that allow penalty-free withdrawals to purchase a home.
Every two years, married sellers of principal residences who file joint federal income tax returns are allowed a $500,000 exclusion ($250,000 for singles) from capital gains tax. For sales that took place after May 6, 2003, the maximum capital gains tax rates for profits above the exclusion dropped from 20% to 15% for higher income taxpayers, and from 10% to 5% for lower income taxpayers.
Homeowners can now consider several new options. People who find themselves at an empty-nester stage (no children at home) in a four or five bedroom home with a large equity have been able to unlock their equity dollars, using the income to help their children buy a first home, take a luxury cruise, remodel the house or purchase a second home for vacation or retirement.
Consult your tax advisor for advice regarding your particular circumstance.

BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY: To treat each client as you would a friend or family member. Maintain a standard of excellence through honesty and integrity. It is our desire to serve you the client with the highest level of customer service possible.
FOR SELLERS: We have an average list to sale market time of 23 days. On average we get 99% of the listing price for our clients. This is due to an extremely effective marketing campaign and a high level of skillful negotiation. We sell on average 99% of our listings. Please remember the market determines the value of your home not the agent. Choose your listing agent based on the one who can sell your home in the shortest amount of time for the best possible price with the least amount of inconvenience to you and your family. Your bottom line is the most important number of all.
FOR BUYERS: With our complete buyer profile system we will be able to save you time and money. You will not spend your valuable time looking at homes that do not suit your needs. Your time will be spent looking at the best the market has to offer in the areas that you want to live, in your price range with as many amenities that match your criteria. When choosing a buyers agent, base your decision on who will best represent you throughout the transaction.
