Meet Mitch Graves
I'm Mitch Graves and I've been a life long resident of the South Bay. I've been an active realtor in the South Bay for almost 10 years and in that time I've sold over 130 homes and income properties and have become very experienced in residential sales, income property sales, bank foreclosures, short sales, probate sales and trust sales. I was born in Torrance, attended South Torrance schools and have been a resident of Redondo Beach for the last 8 years. My main goal in selling Real Estate is to find property for my clients that I would be proud to own myself and to finish every transaction with all parties with the feeling they got great service, a great house and are more knowledgeable about Real Estate then when we started. The largest portion of my business comes from referrals from my past clients, so I do my best to live up to and exceed the expectations put on me. If you have any needs at all, I am here to help and will always find time for you. Sincerely, Mitch Graves

Time to Move >When Your House Gets Too Big
As the Baby Boomers of the 1950s send their children off to college, they join the part of the market called "empty nesters". At this point they no longer need six bedrooms and three baths, a family room and a gigantic yard. Many "empty nesters" are trading in the family home for something that is smaller, easier to maintain and has the amenities that are important to their more carefree lifestyle.
If you are considering such a move, start out by consulting a good Realtor whom you like and trust. The good news is--- when you sell your primary residence, you are not taxed on your profit if (1) you have lived in the home for two out of the last five years and (2) your gain does not exceed $250,000 as a single taxpayer or $500,000 as a married couple filing jointly. These capital gain exclusions apply whether you "buy up" to a more expensive home or "buy down" to a less expensive one. If you are moving downtown from the suburbs in order to be close to cultural centers, theaters and restaurants, there may be "quality of life" issues, such as noise or parking. Your Realtor can help you find a home that has all the conveniences and amenities you desire.
