1031 EXCHANGES

If you’re about to sell (or buy) a property you may want to consider…

Often referred to as a “1031 exchange” the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 1031 , offers significant tax advantages to real estate seller and buyers. The 1031 tax-deferred exchange allows owners to sell property and then reinvest the proceeds into like-kind property, thereby deferring the capital gains taxes. To qualify, however, property exchanges must be done in accordance with rules set forth in the tax code and in the treasury regulations.

Hearn Burkley has assisted real estate investors – individuals and partnerships – with approximately $100,000,000 of successful 1031 tax-deferred transactions since our inception, and we’re intimately familiar with 1031 tax-deferred exchange rules.
