Sudhoff - Real Estate Expenses File: B-227786 Date: March 10, 1988 DIGEST An employee is not entitled to real estate selling expenses upon his transfer to a new duty station when the home that was sold was not located at his old duty station and he did not regularly commute between the home and his place of work, as travel regulations require. DECISION This decision holds that Mr. Gary M. Sudhoff, an employee of the United States Customs Service, is not entitled to real estate selling expenses for the sale of his home, since it was not located at his old duty station.l/ Mr. Sudhoff first reported for duty on November 17, 1986, at Tucson, Arizona. On November 20, 1986, he was sent to Glynco, Georgia, to attend the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. On December 2, 1986, he was informed that he would be transferred to Corpus Christi, Texas. In March 1987 he completed his training at Glynco and returned to his duty station in Tucson. He reported to Corpus Christi in June 1987. Mr. Sudhoff's wife and children remained in the family home at Orange Park, Florida. Apparently, at the time he was transferred from Tucson to Corpus Christi, his family left Florida and joined him at his new duty station in Corpus Christi. He sold the Orange Park home in February 1987 and claimed real estate selling expenses. The U.S. Customs Service denied the claim, since the home was not located at his old duty station in Tucson. 1/ Virginia M. Cummings, Acting Chief, Travel Section, National Finance Center, United States Customs Service, Department of the Treasury, requested our decision.
