Who Is Jerry Martin?
 

From his days as a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy, through a successful career as a bank President/CEO, Jerry Martin has served his communities with pride and dignity. He has been an industry leader throughout his various business ventures, and continues to 'set the standard' with his entrepreneurial spirit and a strong desire to succeed.

As President and Chief Executive Officer of Los Angeles Bancorp, a California Corporation, Jerry was instrumental in the formation and subsequent accomplishments of the corporation's subsidiary, Century Thrift & Loan. Noteworthy achievements during his eighteen years in the banking industry include being the youngest bank President in the State of California of a non-minority owned institution, as well as serving on the Board of Directors' executive committee for the California Thrift and Loan Association.

Upon relocation to the Pacific Northwest, he decided to "become his own boss", and fulfilled one of his childhood dreams…that of owning a community tavern/sports pub where friends could meet and have a great time together. As owner/operator of Daman's Tavern, in Redmond, WA, he carried on the traditional motto of the original owner… "Great Food, Great Service, Great Tavern." His efforts were rewarded by being featured in various news articles, being touted as the 'CHEERS' of the Eastside. Daman's was also recognized by Eastside Magazine as the voter's choice for Sports Bar of the Year!

Currently, Jerry is a licensed real estate agent and is actively involved in listing and selling properties in the Puget Sound area. As a broker and manager for RE/MAX Northwest Realtors, he is looked to as a leader among his colleagues. Jerry also serves as the Director of Corporate Development and as a Corporate Officer for the company. But his people skills and business savvy are well recognized outside the corporate environment. The Snohomish-Camano Realtor® Association has designated Jerry as its V.P. of Communications and Public Relations.

Despite the breadth of Jerry's accomplishments, he would say that his greatest achievements are his satisfied clients. But the term 'satisfied' does not seem like an adequate description. The people Jerry has worked for look at him not only as their real estate agent for life, but also as a friend. Some have commented that when they speak to Jerry, no matter what the circumstances or how busy he is, he makes them feel like they are always most important. There is a very good reason for this. To Jerry, they truly are!

Some people perceive the real estate industry as one full of phony sales people and fake smiles. Let Jerry show you how "personable and genuine" a real estate professional can be…

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.
