Existing Homeowner Credit example: A couple with joint income less than $225,000 annually. The couple has owned a personal residence consecutively for 5 of the last 8 years and sells this home to purchase a new home for $200,000 which takes place prior to April 30, 2010. The couple qualifies for the $6,500 tax credit. Assume their 2009 federal tax liability is $12,500 without the tax credit, the $6,500 tax credit would lower their federal tax liability to only $6,000. If the couple's 2009 federal withholdings was exactly $12,500, they would have received no refund without the tax credit because their federal income taxes equal their federal withholdings exactly. With the Existing Homeowner Tax Credit, the couple will get a tax refund of $6,500

CULTURE

At NP Dodge, we believe a real-estate company should work for its agents; not the other way around. We don't have to answer to some parent company across the country-our agents are the shareholders. We place the highest priority on their growth and satisfaction and provide them with every opportunity for personal reward and financial success.

Our job at NP Dodge is to help our agents do theirs-to provide the best possible tools, training and supportive agent-centric environment possible. Our managers don't get involved in agent business unless invited. We don't have channels to go through to get an issue resolved. We don't believe in excessive structure or trivial agent fees. Above all, we don't value profits over people.

That doesn't just make a difference; it makes all the difference.
