💎 High-end Seller Leads

I'm putting together a source for high-end seller leads: homeowners in the $500K+ household income range, thinking about selling, already screened before they ever reach an agent. These are warm leads, vetted and matched one to one. The sellers behind them expect real, white-glove service from the very first call. That's the part I care about most. If you've actually closed deals at this level, with the track record to prove it, I want to talk to you before anyone else does. I'm gauging interest before this goes further. If that's you, or someone on your team, drop a comment below on the zip codes you would like me to focus on.

I was curious about the industry we are working in and its importance to the American Economy. It’s safe to say we are in an important industry sector if you didn’t know already.

HOW DO YOU TRACK YOUR BASIS?

DO YOU TRACK THE BASIS IN YOUR HOME? Comment below and let us know how you do it. When you sell your home, the tax on your gain depends on your basis, which is what you paid for the home plus the cost of improvements. But improvements count only if you can prove them. Basis Matters More Every Year The home sale exclusion of $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples) was set in 1997 and has never been adjusted for inflation, while home prices have roughly quadrupled since then. Many long-time homeowners now face a taxable gain when they sell. In one court case, a couple claimed $286,070 in improvements but could not prove them. The court allowed $82,039, leaving the couple with tax on $101,907 of gain plus the cost of going to court. What Counts You add to basis any improvements that add value, extend the home’s life, or adapt the home to new uses, such as a new roof or a kitchen remodel. Repairs do not count, and neither do improvements you later removed or replaced. Depreciation, deducted casualty losses, insurance reimbursements, and energy credits reduce your basis. Records to Keep - The contract or proposal - The final invoice - Proof of payment (Download check images, since banks often purge them after about seven years.) - A few dated photos (As newspaper legend Arthur Brisbane said, “Use a picture. It’s worth a thousand words.”) Scanned records in an organized electronic folder are fine. Keep them as long as you own the home, plus at least three years after the year of sale.
