One Sale. A Complete Solution.
A Dallas owner may be selling apartments, industrial property, land, retail, or a long-held commercial asset. The first question is not which rule applies—it is what the owner wants life and the portfolio to look like after the sale.
We help turn that objective, expected equity, debt, income needs, and management preferences into one practical exchange plan. When the facts call for outside expertise, the appropriate independent qualified intermediary, CPA, attorney, lender, broker, or licensed securities professional remains responsible for that regulated work.
Start With the Real Reason
The strongest replacement search begins with the problem the current property no longer solves—not a generic list of rules or available listings.
Move beyond tenant calls, repairs, capital projects, leasing, and day-to-day property decisions.
Clarify ownership, property use, timing, co-owner priorities, and replacement choices before the sale advances.
Compare replacement paths based on income objectives, debt, concentration, workload, risk, and control.
Explore whether exchange equity should remain in one property or be divided among multiple replacements.
Bring the sale facts together quickly, engage an independent qualified intermediary, and define the search.
Review reverse-exchange, financing, title, and timing questions when the preferred replacement appears first.

Questions Dallas Owners Ask
A DST is professionally managed, so the investor does not personally handle tenants, repairs, leasing, or property operations. The sponsor controls the real estate, and the investor must consider fees, risks, leverage, illiquidity, reduced control, eligibility, and suitability before investing.
Qualifying investment real estate can generally be exchanged for other qualifying U.S. investment real estate. Depending on the owner’s goals, the replacement path may include direct property, net-lease real estate, or an eligible DST interest.
Begin immediately. An independent qualified intermediary generally must be engaged before the relinquished-property closing, and the replacement search should be organized around the actual closing date, equity, debt, and acquisition requirements.
It may, depending on ownership, use, sale facts, and the taxpayer’s intent to hold the property for investment or business use. Basis and estate questions should be reviewed with the owner’s CPA and attorney before a strategy is chosen.
Some DST offerings may accept investments around $100,000, but minimums vary. Availability, projected income, fees, financing, property risk, sponsor risk, investor eligibility, and suitability are specific to each offering.
An owner may be able to acquire more than one replacement property, subject to identification requirements and the transaction facts. The exchange plan should account for equity, debt, closing probability, diversification, and backup choices.
Direct ownership provides more control but usually requires more management and individual-property diligence. A DST offers professional management and fractional ownership, while also limiting control and liquidity and introducing sponsor, fee, financing, and offering-specific risks.
Before the relinquished property closes—and ideally before it is listed. Early planning gives the owner more time to engage an independent qualified intermediary, clarify replacement criteria, examine financing, and compare direct and passive alternatives.
