1031 Exchange Specialists, Inc.
How We Earn Our Fee
Our Qualified Intermediary services earn a flat fee per 1031 exchange transaction based on the value and number of property(s) exchanged. Some companies charge additional amounts for postage, wires, etc….WE DO NOT! Most of our 1031 clients save tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes using our services. The more complex transactions, understandably, demand a slightly higher fee. Our level of knowledge and experience, and the amount of time dedicated to the success of your exchange, makes our fee a great value. Your tax savings is just another added benefit.
Before, during and after the exchange process, you can rely on our expert guidance in the following areas:
-
Unlimited consultations with the client, their attorney, accountant, banker and Realtor to structure, advise and ensure compliance with 1031 rules and regulations at both the federal and state levels.

Review Agreements of Sale to ensure 1031 compliance and identify potential problem areas.
