About Clare Spartz
Welcome > Agent Info > About Clare Spartz ...

Meet Clare Spartz 

Clare Spartz always expected to be in real estate - helping others buy and sell homes and being in the center of the buy/rehab/decorate/sales process - and finally hand the chance to put her dream in play in early 2004. 

Successful careers in marketing, training and sales shaped Clare professionally; passion for homes and the "hunt", decorating (and editing), rehabbing, finding a deal, negotiating, and more importantly helping people define their vision and ultimately live their vision motivate her personally. 

Obvious strengths include a positive attitude, a very high energy level, a quick study, strong knowledge of competitive pricing, marketing and promotions, unlimited resources through a huge professional and social network, a passion to create a win-win and a "can-do" spirit. 

Clare's goal is to provide homebuyers and sellers a positive experience that achieves their financial goals with a quick turn-time. Simple as that, but enhanced and supported by the "Clare Flair". 

Clare lives in a converted loft in Lincoln Park and has enjoyed living in four other neighborhoods in Chicago as well as three cities on the East Coast. She is number 10 of 11 kids, has 28 nieces and nephews and is the very proud daughter of her 88 year old dad who is still working, volunteering, working out, writing, creating and living his ever-evolving dreams.

Real Estate Tips
Tax Considerations >New 1031 Exchange Rules

One of the most popular "tax deferring" strategies for real estate owners who are selling one property and acquiring another is the use of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. It is an effective way to defer paying income tax on capital gain generated by the sale of a property when you intend to reinvest the proceeds in a similar, "like-kind" property. Almost any kind of real property is considered "like-kind" with any other real property.

A recently enacted law closes what was considered a loophole in the Section 1031 rules. In some cases, owners of investment real estate have used the 1031 Exchange to swap their investment property for real estate that could be readily converted to an owner-occupied residential property. After the exchange, they made the property into their principal residence, lived in it for a couple of years, then sold it. Now the American Job Creation Act of 2004 has ruled that properties converted from a 1031 exchange property into a residence must be held and used as a principal residence for at least five years to qualify for the tax exemption. Otherwise, the basic tax-deferring benefits of 1031 exchanges remain the same.

Consult your tax advisor for more detailed information.
