Byrd - Real Estate and Transportation of Household Goods Expenses DIGEST: 1. A transferred employee attempted to personally sell his residence at his old duty station and incurred adver- tising expenses. Because he was unsuccessful, he placed the sale in the hands of a real estate agent, who did sell the property. A commission paid to the agent on that sale was reimbursed to the employee, but prior advertising costs were disallowed. On reclaim, the disallowance is sustained. When a separate adver- tising cost is incurred which does not result in the sale of a residence, para. 2-6.2 of the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) precludes reimburse- ment. 2. A transferred employee owned a residence on a 10-acre tract at his old duty station. In order to facili- tate sale, the property was divided into two parcels and sold to two sepa- rate buyers. Real estate expenses of parcel containing the residence were reimbursed to employee, but expenses associated with parcel not contain- ing the residence were disallowed. On reclaim, the disallowance is sustained. When separate purchasers of divided property are involved, a parcel of land other than that upon which the residence is situated is not considered as being reasonably related to the residence as required by FTR para. 2-6.1f. 3. A transferred employee shipped household goods under the actual expense method. The goods weighed 0--O575
