The IRS, Form 523 and the Costs of Selling a Home 

by Michelle Carr Crowe, Selling San Jose, Calif. Lynbrook High homes for 25+ years

Tonight I met with a nice family considering selling their Lynbrook High home located in San Jose, Calif. Although I was the third agent they'd interviewed, no one yet had given them even the most basic information on the IRS, Form 523 and the Costs of Selling a Home.

I explained I am not an expert in tax or law but would gladly give them some introductions to people who are, most of whom will grant a complimentary 30-minute consultation.

To better help these folks, I'll also be emailing them the following link to the IRS, Form 523 and the Costs of Selling a Home at http://www.irs.gov/publications/p523/ar02.html. Below you can see the links to calculate Amount of Gain or LossDetermining Basis, and more.

As always, consult a tax and/or legal professional before selling a home.

Hi Michelle,

Even as you have disclaimed, you are not a tax expert, I think the presentation of this information has great potential to separate you from the other listing as a very knowledgeable professional.  I will remember this one to add to listing presentations.  Best of success to you this year!
