A 1031 exchange isn’t something you figure out mid-transaction—the success of it depends on planning before you sell.

Why This Matters for Clients

Most 1031 exchanges fail not because of taxes—but because of timing mistakes and poor preparation. By planning early and coordinating the sale properly, you reduce pressure, protect optionality, and give yourself a better chance of completing the exchange smoothly.
