Experts in Complex Transactions
Not all 1031 exchanges are straightforward — and that's where our depth of experience matters most. We have extensive expertise handling the most complex exchange structures, including:
- Reverse Exchanges: Acquire your replacement property before selling your relinquished property — ideal when you find the right deal first.
- Simultaneous Exchanges: Close on both the relinquished and replacement properties on the same day with seamless coordination.
- Improvement Exchanges: Use exchange funds to build or renovate a replacement property, maximizing the value of your reinvestment.

How a 1031 Exchange Works
Sell Your Property
List your investment property for sale. Under a deadline? We open exchanges same-day.
Identify Replacement
Within 45 days of closing, identify your potential replacement properties.
We Hold Your Funds
We securely hold your proceeds in a dedicated FDIC-insured account during the exchange.
Close & Defer Taxes
Close on your replacement property within 180 days and defer all capital gains taxes.
Eligibility Requirements
Unlike a typical real estate sale, you can defer capital gains tax when you sell an investment property and acquire one of "like kind" — so long as the property is used for business or investment purposes, the exchange completes within 180 days, and it meets IRS regulations.
