  • On behalf of a seller, we sold two industrial properties $100K over asking price, and traded them into 5 properties through a 1031 Exchange. Within a tight time frame, critical for a strict IRS timeline, we developed a winning strategy and delivered for the client’s deferred capital gains taxes using 1031 Exchange. BTW, the client was so impressed with our service and knowledge, they hired us in the first meeting AND with an upfront retainer fee, which is very rare in the industry.

We saved a buyer $700,000 below appraised value, by structuring the deal with a tax donation component which benefited both buyer and seller. In fact, the property was not even listed on the market, we found this industrial property through our own research and network. As with all our clients, we walked them through the buying process with the Board of Directors and executives, from beginning to the end. The client was so pleased with our service that they hired us to continuously represent them as their landlord. We fully leased out all rental property units within a short time.
