P.S.
My favorite clients are those who like to participate in their own fate, and who do a large portion of the searching and narrowing down to area and property on their own. Not all of my clients use the internet, but clearly most do.
The majority of my transactions involve hundreds, even thousands of emails and very little contact by phone. In person and by phone is on an "only when needed" basis. The first step is to meet in person as soon as possible, so we can "choose" one another...or not. That is true for both seller clients and buyer clients. Many of my clients have busy lives and I don't want to waste their time in any way, shape or form. Rarely do I use written agreements for buyer clients, it is their choice not mine. I don't need one and they generally don't like to sign them. So our relationship is most often based on mutual trust.

Stephen Covey:
"There are two dimensions as to why you trust someone. One is that they have character. That's who they really are. The other is that they have competence and ability to do things, make things happen. And you really trust people that have both character and competence. Both are vital. If they have only one and not the other, then we'll tend not to trust them.
And as an entrepreneur you're constantly dealing with people, and you want to work with people that you can count on, and rely on, and trust. And that is a reflection of both, do they have character? And do they have competence? If they have both, you can trust them. If they don't -- if they're lacking any one of those, then you won't."

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.
