In Kaye's example, my interpretation was that the seller would still have 50% of the capital gains exemption available - so that either $125,000 if single, or $250,000 if jointly owned would be used to reduce the gain. (I think I need to read this bill and talk to some tax experts after the IRS publishes their interpretation!)
This is sooooo true! I sold 3 homes during a 3 day conference a couple years ago - ended up spending most of my time in my room on computer & phone instead of networking and having fun, like I had planned. I used to cover for my partner when I was a rookie. Every time he left town, all his "over-priced turkeys" would get offers, and his past clients who were going to stay the rest of their lives, would decide to list!
