Putting house up for sale before 3 year commitment is finished

[Zach T]

I bought my house when the $8k tax credit came around. My plan is to sell it and buy a double to rent out. I live in PA if that matters. I need to technically live there until October.

Would I be able hire a realtor and have them start showing the house a few months before hand to get the process started ASAP. I would make sure closing is after the 3 year commitment is complete. The goal being to sell the house asap without having to pay back the tax credit.
