Employee's Claim for Reimbursement of Real Estate Expenses

A decision was requested as to whether a transferred employee may be reimbursed for real estate expenses incurred in the sale of a residence occupied by his family at the time of transfer. The employee is almost constantly in a travel status. He may be reimbursed for expenses incurred in selling his home even though the home was not located convenient to his permanent duty station, and he did not commute daily from that residence.
