I really learned a lot during his CE presentation on 1031 exchanges. It was enjoyable.

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.

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 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.

Greg did a wonderful job with the presentation of 1031 Exchanges. I am not an agent and do not know much about them at all. I work closely with the agents on their deals and for me to at least have an introduction and better understanding of this topic was beneficial to my career. I learned quite a bit, took notes to research further on my own, and also participated in the seminar. Greg is extremely knowledgeable, and I would recommend him to everyone! Greg, thanks again for your expertise.

Greg does a great job of presenting IRC1031 information. Whether it's a brief teaser to a group that might not be familiar, or to a group listening to get CE credit, Greg delivers the right information in the right way for the audience. I've personally been involved with IPX and Greg Smith as a broker, but also as an investor selling (exchanging) and buying. Greg and his company give great service that I rely on. Keep up the good work!
