How Will The 3.8% Sales Tax Be Implemented and Who Will Be Affected…

By on January 31, 2012 in News, Real Estate, Real Estate Agents, San Diego, Willis Allen

We wanted to bring some clarity to the rumor that starting in 2013 all home sales will  be affected by a 3.8% sales tax which will be used to partly finance the new health care bill. For those of you who are not aware of this legislation you can view the NAR brochure (below)  prepared to inform you about how this will be implemented and who will possibly be affected. Here is a quote from the brochure:

“To get you up to speed about this new tax legislation, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® has developed this informational brochure. On the following pages, you’ll read examples of different scenarios in which this new tax — passed by Congress in 2010 with the intent of generating an estimated $210 billion to help fund President Barack Obama’s health care and Medicare overhaul plans — could be relevant to your clients. Understand that this tax WILL NOT be imposed on all real estate transactions, a common misconception. Rather, when the legislation becomes effective in 2013, it may impose a 3.8% tax on some (but not all) income from interest, dividends, rents (less expenses) and capital gains (less capital losses). the tax will fall only on individuals with an adjusted gross income (AGI) above $200,000 and couples filing a joint return with more than $250,000 AGI.”

Willis Allen Real Estate’s Carol McGraw Becomes President of CREA

-McGraw is latest Willis Allen Realtor to show leadership savvy-

La Jolla, Calif. (Jan. 30, 2012) – Willis Allen Real Estate announced today that Coronado-based Realtor Carol McGraw was installed as the 2012 President of the Coronado Real Estate Association (CREA). Willis Allen’s Zachary Todaro, a Coronado native, was also installed as a member of the CREA board of directors.

Interestingly, the CREA installment was conducted by another Willis Allen Realtor, Coronado Branch Manager Leslie Kilpatrick. It is one of Kilpatrick’s duties as San Diego Association of Realtors (SDAR) Vice President. McGraw and Kilpatrick were also recently appointed to the California Association of Realtors (CAR) board of directors. One of their responsibilities in that capacity is to represent San Diego Realtors at a series of statewide meetings.

“This situation exemplifies Willis Allen Real Estate’s commitment to leadership in the San Diego real estate community and beyond,” says Willis Allen CEO & President Andrew E. Nelson. “We are extremely proud of Carol, Leslie and Zachary for sharing their professionalism, integrity and insight with the greater real estate community.”

McGraw has 17 years of real estate experience, which started in Annapolis, Md., where she focused on historic and waterfront properties. She brought that experience with her to Coronado when she and her husband moved to the seaside community in 2007.

“My philosophy has always been to provide the best real estate service, period,” says McGraw. “I take pride in the large number of referrals I receive from the clients I’ve served. It’s the highest compliment a Realtor can get.”
