Free In-Home Presentation

Welcome > For Sellers > Free In-Home Presentation ...

Request a Free Presentation On How We 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! We would love the opportunity to make such a presentation to you. 

We'll visit your Mt. Airy, Roxborough and Northwest Philadelphia home, and together we will walk through it, considering the positives and negatives (if any!). You will then see exactly how we would propose to sell your home, for as much as the market will bear, and within your time frame. We will tell you where we 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 Mt. Airy, Roxborough and Northwest Philadelphia home is worth, because part of our presentation will include a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) of your home. We'll compare your home to others like it in Mt. Airy, Roxborough and Northwest Philadelphia that have recently sold, and also to others that are currently for sale. This is a very important way of determining the fair market value of your home. 

We make free presentations and prepare CMAs for prospective home sellers every day. We've literally done hundreds, and we know exactly what puts a big SOLD sign in your front yard. 

We'd love the chance to make a presentation for you. It is totally free and without any obligation. Call us! Or fill out this form... 

Yes, you can request a FREE in-home presentation of how we would market your property in Mt. Airy, Roxborough and Northwest Philadelphia! We do these presentations for people all the time. It's our job! There's no obligation, and we'll get back to you quickly...

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.
