We facilitate and support 1031 Exchanges of investment properties for tax deferral and to maximize investment dollars. A 1031 tax deferred exchange is a great way to transfer property without paying a capital gains tax.Allison McCloskey can walk you through the process. In order to start a 1031 exchange, you need to take a few steps. The most important is you need to hire an exchange agent prior to your first closing. Once a 1031 Exchange has begun it needs to identify at least one replacement property within 45 days after relinquished property has closed.
