Introducing A Better Way To Do Starker 1031 Exchanges

Here Are Some Truths About 1031 Exchange Services You Need To Know

1031 Services are now a mature business category.  Section 1031 rules are defined in the Treasury Department Tax Code and are the same for everyone.  The 1031 forms all Qualified Intermediaries use are virtually identical.  And most Intermediaries have proper Money Safety protection protocols.  All of these service features are simply basic “core competency” requirements in the 1031 world of today – and these make typical 1031 Exchange Services generic.

Here is an important business principle:  The more similar the service, the more important are the differences.

So, what is different and better about Investor’s Exchange?

  • Why should you choose us instead of one of our competitors?  Our unique benefits are what make us different and better – and worthy of being retained by you.
  • We have an industry unique Satisfaction Guarantee.  If for any reason, you honestly believe we have not been thoroughly attentive and helpful throughout your Exchange, we will refund the fee you have paid us. Your complete transaction satisfaction is our service goal.
  • Our Founder, John Galley has been acting as a 1031 Exchange Intermediary for over 40 years – doing thousands of Exchanges!  He is widely known – and is called “The Exchange Coach” by many.
  • Having practiced real estate law for decades, we have real world experience being intimately involved in the underlying transactions that are part of Exchanges.  This knowledge can be extremely useful and helpful.  We are not a group of cloistered bureaucrats who simply quote 1031 rules.
  • AND we have two important Bonus Benefits that we will discuss in a moment.

Meet the Founder

John Galley

For decades, John Galley was a licensed Real Estate Attorney in Illinois and Wisconsin. He is a cum laude graduate of Dartmouth and received his law degree from IIT/Chicago-Kent College of Law.

A Starker Exchange legal writing assignment in law school marked the beginning of his interest in 1031 Exchanges. This eventually led to his retirement from a more traditional practice of law and the formation of Investor’s Exchange, his 1031 Qualified Intermediary Company.

Specific Exchange Credentials

  • Has acted as a Qualified Intermediary for decades doing thousands of 1031 Exchanges.
  • Schooled by the two lawyers who wrote the 1991 Exchange regulations for the IRS and Treasury Department.
  • Charter Member of the Midwest Chapter of the national Federation of Exchange Accommodators (FEA).
  • Faculty for State Bar CLE presentations.
  • Exchange Presentations on behalf of eight State Bar Associations.
  • Featured Exchange Presentations at several American Land Title Association (ALTA) annual conventions.
  • Consultant and Expert Witness for 1031 Exchange lawsuits.
  • Published Exchange Articles in Title News (the official publication of ALTA), the Illinois Real Estate Journal, the Maine Lawyers Review, the Maine Business Monthly, and a published interview in Lawyers Weekly USA.

Testimonials

“I first met John through a mutual attorney friend. As I learned of his exchange capabilities, I was more than impressed. Being one of the Charter Members of the Legal Division at the American Land Title Association (ALTA), I knew John could be a great resource for all the Association Members. The relationship has blossomed by way of several ALTA Convention presentations. I am proud to have been the catalyst for this relationship.”

Ray Stillwell, Esq. Alton, IL

“Following his presentations in both
Madison and Milwaukee, many practitioners came forward to tell me that John gave the best presentation they had ever heard on the topic. As one written evaluation stated:
“Mr. Galley capably translated a complex area of the law so it was timely, relevant, understandable and useful for those of us who do transactions. The written materials
will be a very valuable resource back at the office. He should be invited back every year!” I couldn’t agree more.

Steve Rindo,
CLE Seminar Program Planner,

Money Safety

You will have a separate, sub-account within the Investor’s Exchange Master Exchange account at our Trustee Bank. Your funds are never co-mingled with any others.

To maximize Money Safety, we use a “dual signature” procedure for the transfer of any of your monies out of your sub-account. One signature is on behalf of Investor’s Exchange (thus eliminating any issue of “constructive receipt” for you – which would otherwise cause your Exchange to fail).  And the other signature is yours or someone designated by you to sign on your behalf. The identity and confirmed signature of this person is provided to our Trustee Bank and is unknown to Investor’s Exchange. We will provide you with the form and instructions on how to do this. No monies can be transferred anywhere without this procedure having been initiated and completed. So bottom-line; YOU must know of and approve of ANY transfers of your sale proceeds money.

We pioneered this Dual Signature approach decades ago – and now it is required by most states who license Qualified Intermediaries.

Seize the Opportunity

We have two Bonus Benefits that will show you why Investor’s Exchange is truly “The Exchange Advantage”.

Important and Helpful Documents To Be Shared With You

  • Our proprietary “Exchange Diagram” that shows “how” an Exchange takes place – step-by-step.  (You can see what this looks like – and how effective it is – by clicking on this link.)
  • A “Ten Minute Exchange Primer” to get you “up to speed” on 1031 information that will empower you to become a better Real Estate Investor.  This is what you really need to know about Exchanges – and it is discussed in plain English – not LegalSpeak.
  • A Capital Gains Worksheet that shows how to determine the likely Capital Gains, and subsequent Tax that will be owed, if the Exchange technique is not employed.  This can be rather horrifying when “the sorry story” is revealed.  You need to see the harsh truth for yourself.
  • An important discussion about choices for your Replacement Purchase that can be solid investments with excellent returns. They eliminate the need to be a “landlord” – if that is one of your goals.  And “landlording” may be what is keeping you from otherwise using the 1031 Exchange technique.

Our Vito Corleone Offer:  A 20% Fee Discount

If you retain us as your 1031 Qualified Intermediary before your Relinquished Property sale goes under contract, it enables us to do a better job of making sure all the details of your Exchange are timely addressed in the best possible manner.  This benefits both of us.  To encourage you to do this, we offer you a 20% discount on our Fee for a Standard 1031 Exchange.  (And this does not require any fee prepayment of any kind on your part.) 

Vito Corleone would tell you, “This is an offer you shouldn’t refuse.”

If you have already gone “under contract”, of course we still want your Exchange business and we may be able to still offer you a discount.  Just discuss it with us.

Simply put we can’t help you with our Bonus Benefits if you won’t help yourself by taking action now and requesting them.  As hocky legend Wayne Gretzky said,
