James Callejas

Vice President IPX1031 Northern California Certified Exchange Specialist
James has received the prestigious CES, Certified Exchange Specialist, designation by the Federation of Exchange Accommodators. Over a period of 20 years, this workaholic learned about 1031 exchanges from the bottom-up, starting with documenting the process in accordance with IRS regulations all the way to running seminars and educating audiences on the “ins and outs” of exchanges, associated tax implications and learning how to build wealth within real estate.

He is a wealth of information.

I've known James professionally and personally for over 10 years. He has at all times been 100% professional, knowledgeable, and courteous with a wealth of knowledge. I have recommended him to everyone I work with and I will continue to recommend him in the future. With his knowledge set I've found nobody better in the industry with better ethics and a moral compass.

James met with my client who has a complex issue with the family real estate holdings. They were seeking alternatives to increase their cash flow. James is knowledgable, and made suggestions for them to explore in the most kind manner. I recommend him to everyone.

James is the best 1031 Exchange resource in the business. I have attended many of his programs and the customers are always walking away with great advice. There is no one else I would refer any of our clients to other than James. He is simply the BEST!

I saw James deliver remarks at a Danville RMA meeting. He did a great job getting the crowd engaged and kept an upbeat feel. Even better than his oratory skill was his command of the technicalities of the 1031 Exchange and its most effective uses, as well as how we can best identify and serve our clients. My big takeaway from the talk? Call James.

I had James come to my office to educate my team about the value of 1031 exchanges. He did a great job explaining the process and how my team of agents can use 1031 exchanges to leverage more business. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on 3 deals this year and he is always on the ball.

I know my Exchange has been closed for a month now, but I wanted to THANK YOU, Lindsay, and your team for seeing me through this 1031 Exchange process and being available to answer the many questions along the way.
What a long road that started prior to sale of my relinquished property, through real estate property searches and closings, to finalizing taxes!! I learned a lot.
Thank you both again for your guidance!! I look forward to working with you and IPX1031 in the future.

I just attended another James Callejas 1031 exchange class today. As usual , his classes are very informative. I attended a few of his classes and every time I attend, I gain new knowledge about 1031 exchange. He adopts his classes to the current market so they are always relevant. Thank you James for another awesome class.

I recently attended James's seminar. He is by far the most knowledgeable exchange specialist. He is different from other exchange specialists who only talk about the process and fees. James talks about different options and scenarios that can help my clients to maximize the benefit in an exchange. That is what I like the most about him. I will work with him on my next 1031 transaction. Thanks James!

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with him and his whole company- IPX 1031. He has taken my every call, answered all my tough questions, and has guided my understanding of this very complicated exchange process. Also, his colleagues have been truly amazing with their timely processing of docs and with sharing their expertise. I highly recommend working with James and IPX 1031 anytime!
