I have been working with Greg for almost 20 years and he exclusively handles all of my client's 1031 exchanges. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. When you are in the middle of a transaction or working with a client who needs to get questions answered promptly, it is critical to have a resource like Greg who can provide effective guidance. I have used him for numerous 1031 exchanges, and he does at least a handful of 1031 exchanges for my clients each year. He is the GO TO resource, and there is no other person I would recommend. Greg - thanks again for all your help and continued support.

On every deal he is extremely generous with his time in speaking with my clients and making sure all their 1031 questions are answered. The whole team at IPX is extremely professional and well known to all the escrow companies, so everything is always seamlessly integrated.

Greg is the best in the business.

His knowledge of the industry, tax implications, and strategies continue to benefit my clients. As someone that has been in the industry for a while, it becomes easy to recognize industry experts that have a deep understanding of their specialty and I have found no better resource than Greg. Often times, I consult with Greg before consulting with my own accountant on real estate tax implications. After consulting with my accountant and them spending hours researching the issue at hand, they come back with the same solution Greg had from the beginning.

Recently, another exchange accommodator advised a client of ours on a particular item. Even the clients financial advisor and accountant were on the email and nobody found any fault from this exchange accommodator. I reached out to Greg for a second opinion. Greg answered his call right away, sent me a follow up email with links to the IRS website and a thorough explanation. I passed along the email to the client, accountant, financial advisor, and the other exchange accommodator. After research, they all concluded that Greg was correct. I can't imagine not having Greg as a resource.
