Pitts - Real Estate Expenses - Sales and Refinancing Expenses DIGEST: 1. When an employee who was in a constant travel status is transferred, he may be reimbursed for the real estate expenses incurred in selling his former resi- dence, even though it was not located at the place that was administratively designated as his duty station and he did not commute daily to that resi- dence. 2. An employee purchased a residence at his new duty station through a real estate installment contract under which he obtained equitable title upon the execution of the contract and would be given a full warranty deed upon full payment. He may be reimbursed for additional expenses associated with refinancing the contract paid within 1 year of the transfer. Betty Gillham, a certifying officer for the Department of Energy, Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), in Portland, Oregon, requests an advance decision as to whether she may pay a voucher submitted by John W. Pitts, a BPA employee, for real estate expenses in the amount of $5,232.04 incident to a transfer. We hold that Mr. Pitts' voucher may be processed for payment for the full amount claimed. FACTS Mr. Pitts transferred to the BPA from the Department of Defense, Naval Torpedo Station, Keyport, Washington, on October 2, 1977, as an Electrician Apprentice. His first official duty station with BPA was at its substation in Goshen, Oregon. Shortly after his transfer, Mr. Pitts bought a residence near Goshen in Eugene, Oregon. He and his family moved into that residence and he kept his prior residence in Kingston, Washington, for rental purposes. 0O3r)-M'
