Real Estate

Individual investors and corporations often find it necessary to restructure their real estate portfolios to meet their investment needs. When low basis real estate that no longer fits an individual or corporate investment strategy is sold, a Tax-Deferred Exchange can help defer the capital gains tax on that property allowing reinvestment in a property that better fits the investor's needs.

The experts at Exchange Services Group have facilitated Tax-Deferred Exchanges for many of the top real estate investment projects in the country. Our clients include many REITS, as well as corporate and individual investors in commercial real estate, farmland, leaseholds, oil & gas properties, natural gas leases, hotels, build-to-suit projects, and other types of real estate.

Exchange Services Group serves as QI to our clients that sell old property and within 180 days acquire replacement property of equal or greater value. On occasion, Replacement Property may need to be acquired prior to the sale of the Relinquished Property. Our team at Exchange Services Group has developed various strategies to accommodate these situations.

Build-to-Suit

Exchange Services Group has extensive experience in structuring construction build-to-suit like-kind exchanges. Through our partnership with Near North National Title we are familiar with the wider scope of title and construction issues involved in residential and commercial real estate transactions.

In many situations, build-to-suit construction involves timing issues that cannot be confined within the Safe Harbor requirements of IRC Sec. 1031. Exchange Services Group has experience in structuring exchanges both inside and outside the safe harbor, and will work with your tax counsel to structure a solution to fit your specific needs.
