OUR PROCESS
A Personalized Approach
to Your 1031 Exchange
A successful 1031 exchange involves more than meeting deadlines and finding another property. It begins with understanding what you are looking to accomplish with the real estate equity you have built.
At Customized 1031, the process is designed to help you understand your options, evaluate potential strategies, and move forward with greater clarity.
Our Process
A Simple, Guided Process
Every investor has different priorities. You may be focused on replacing a property, reducing management responsibilities, creating a more passive ownership experience, or considering different ways to invest your real estate equity.
Doug Zator takes the time to understand those priorities before exploring the options available to you.
01
Start With Your Property and Investment Goals
The process begins with a conversation.
Doug learns about the property you are selling, where you are in the process, and what you would like your next investment to accomplish.
This helps establish the priorities that will guide the discussion moving forward.
02
Explore 1031 Exchange and DST Opportunities
Once your goals are understood, the next step is to review the potential strategies available to you.
Depending on your objectives, that may include evaluating 1031 replacement property solutions, Delaware Statutory Trusts, or other investment opportunities that align with what you are trying to accomplish.
The focus is on helping you understand the available choices so you can make a more informed decision.
03
Keep the Exchange Moving Forward
1031 exchanges come with important timelines and requirements.
Customized 1031 helps you stay focused on the replacement property and investment side of the process while keeping those requirements in view.
The objective is a more organized experience as you move from the sale of one investment property toward the next stage of your strategy.
04
Move Into the Strategy You Have Selected
Once a suitable path has been identified, Doug helps guide you through the transition into your selected investment solution.
For investors seeking relief from the responsibilities of directly managing real estate, this may include professionally managed options such as Delaware Statutory Trusts.
The result is a strategy shaped around your objectives rather than simply finding a replacement property because an exchange deadline is approaching.
OUR PROCESS
Your Goals Come First
Customized 1031 is built around a personalized approach.
