Initial Consultation & Planning

  • Property Evaluation: We review the current property and ensure it meets the eligibility criteria for the exchange.

Sell Your Current Property

  • Find a Buyer: List and negotiate the sale of your investment property.
  • Engage a Qualified Intermediary (QI): IRS rules require a QI to hold the proceeds from the sale to maintain tax-deferred status.
