Foreign nationals selling U.S. investment property: FIRPTA requires the IRS to withhold a portion of your sale proceeds at closing.
It is temporary — once capital gains taxes are paid, it comes back to you. 15–20% is the typical rate.
Know this before you sell.

A “Wicked” night at Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach, fundraising for the Pacific Symphony Opera was magical!! Seated next to the legendary Sandy Segerstrom, the ever illustrious Nancy Willson and many other luminaries in the art world was such an honor — and of course, getting to meet Glinda and Elphaba. ✨
This is why Orange County is more than an address. It’s a community.

If you’re selling your home, please don’t focus only on the sale price.
Focus on your NET GAINS.
That’s the number that actually impacts your wealth.
Net gains are what you keep after:
• Escrow and closing costs
• Repairs and staging
• Mortgage payoff
• Capital gains taxes
• Potential 3.8% NIIT
• California state taxes
On a $5M–$15M property, strategic planning can mean the difference of hundreds of thousands — sometimes millions.
So how do you protect and maximize your net?
1️⃣ Timing matters.
Are tax laws changing? Is your income unusually high this year? Should you accelerate or delay the sale?
2️⃣ Know your adjusted basis.
Original purchase price plus capital improvements minus depreciation (if applicable).
Every documented improvement can reduce taxable gain.
3️⃣ Evaluate a 1031 exchange.
If it’s investment property, you may defer capital gains and keep more capital compounding.
4️⃣ Consider estate strategy.
For some families, holding property for a step-up in basis can significantly reduce or eliminate capital gains exposure.
5️⃣ Price strategically.
Overpricing can cost you leverage. Proper pricing creates competition — and competition drives stronger terms and cleaner contingency removals, protecting your net.
Selling isn’t just about the highest offer.
It’s about structuring the sale intelligently so you keep the most.
In luxury real estate, strategy matters.
Live… Walk… Dream… DaileybytheSea
Thinking about remodeling your home?
Let me ask you something…
Do you have the right temperament for it?
Because remodeling is not just selecting Taj Mahal quartzite and hay-colored oak floors.
It’s:
• Delays
• Dust
• Budget surprises
• Decisions. Constant decisions.
It requires patience. Flexibility. And emotional endurance.
Permits take time. Materials go backordered. Subcontractors reschedule.
If you love the process? It can be incredibly rewarding.
If uncertainty stresses you out? Buying something already renovated might be smarter.
Before you remodel — assess your temperament, not just your budget.
Live… Walk… Dream… DaileybytheSea.
What if buyers could see how to turn your home into their own dream house?
This isn’t about filtering reality. It’s about unlocking vision. It is about gaining a strategic advantage.
