Family Matters: Corcoran Agent Michele Gradin - Here to Help

Corcoran agent Michele Gradin is a certified real estate divorce specialist, trained in the legal and tax ramifications of divorce, who helps her clients take advantage of laws specific to selling a house during this difficult time. “I’m in a unique position to help someone who’s going through a divorce because I can suggest topics for clients to talk to with their lawyers and other financial professionals, and I know the tricky areas,” says Gradin, adding that there are a lot of questions you need to know to ask. “For example, when selling a marital home, even if the couple is going through a divorce, the husband can still use his $250,000 tax credit, and so can the wife, making the total $500,000. It’s better for neither of them to sign the property away to the other because they both can benefit with the tax deduction.”
