Greg was incredibly interesting, informative and kept the class moving along with relatable stories/examples etc. I learned a TON and feel much better equipped to handle 1031 and 1031 reverse exchange clients needs.
PS I've attended other classes on 1031 and none had the same impact to my base of working knowledge.

Greg did such a wonderful job of breaking down the 1031 exchange in such a digestible way (not an easy task) so thank you, Greg! Definitely will be using Greg as the sole contact for any clients interested in using this unique and beneficial tactic.

Greg was very informative and he knowledge in this area is amazing. I have taken this CE twice now and learned new things again. Best of all he is very personable and willing to answer any and all questions which most of us have if we have not completed too many 1031 Exchanges.

I really learned a lot during his CE presentation on 1031 exchanges. It was enjoyable.
JF
I really enjoyed the course—it gave me inspiration related to my current client, who purchased a new home before selling their existing one. Since they fall under the $500K capital gains exemption, the course also made me reconsider when it would actually be most feasible to apply a 1031 exchange, as many transactions fall within this exemption limit.

I attended one of Greg's 1031 seminars for CE credits for realtors and it was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable, the presented info was interesting, and Greg was a great host.
GS
Fantastic, thourough overview of 1031 Exchanges. I expected any tax regulation session to be a bit dry but Greg keep things interesting and clipping along - the 2 hour session flew by. I recommend this course with Greg Smith!

Greg was an engaging speaker. He smiled often and the time went by smoothly and easily. He took questions from the agents and communicated effectively. He encouraged us to ask questions and was ready to answer them clearly. I enjoyed the course.

Greg has done several 1031 exchanges for me in the past and is great! I really enjoyed his class, and I'm ready to do another 1031!

Greg did a great job of explaining the complexities of the 1031 Tax exchange rules, time lines and what qualifies for an exchange.
He demonstrated depth of knowledge and provided real life examples which helped illustrate practical use of the code, along with issues to watch out for which could compromise the tax benefits.
I've been to a few of these classes before and this was my favorite!

I had the pleasure of attending Greg Smith’s seminar where he broke down the ins and outs of 1031 exchanges, and I have to say—he did a phenomenal job. Greg not only explained the process in clear, easy-to-understand terms, but he also took the time to answer every question thoroughly, making sure everyone in the room left with a solid understanding. His ability to simplify such a complex topic while still covering all the important details really stood out. I walked away feeling confident in my knowledge of 1031 exchanges and how to apply them, thanks to Greg’s expertise and approachable teaching style.
