Currently, I've engaged Greg as a resource to address 1031x and capital gains issues with a client, who's previous understanding of their situation meant pushing their plans years into the future, with no immediate availability to capitalize on strong market conditions today. With Greg's experience, we will be able to provide relevant information to assist in restructuring a viable plan that will allow the clients to move forward and accomplish their original ambition.

I always recommend him to all my clients and they are truly happy with the level of service they receive. He goes the extra mile for both clients and brokers. Recently we worked on a reverse exchange and he was very patient to explain the process and be there every step of the way.

Greg has been a tremendous resource for me personally over the years, as well as, for our firm.

I've known Greg for over ten years and originally met him as an Executive for Marcus & Millichap where I worked with 100's of agents on a variety of property closings. Today I work with Greg in an agent capacity where I refer Greg directly to clients rather than primarily agents. In both circumstances Greg has always added value to the person he speaks with. Greg's character will provide trust and certainty which are extremely important to the clients I refer to him. Greg will always be on the short list of people to refer when and exchange client is in need.

He is extremely receptive to his clients needs and is spot on when dealing with complex situations. When there is an issue regarding a 1031 or even something that comes up outside his area of expertise he is there to help find a solution and fast. My clients and I are extremely satisfied working with Greg and can't say enough about his high level professionalism. He is truly an expert in what he does and a pleasure to work with each and every time.

Greg Burns of “IPX Investment Property Exchange Services, Inc.”; on a very short notice, delivered an outstanding presentation of various scenarios of exchanges.
I have been in the commercial RE business for 30 years, however, together with many students in my class had to hold a note pad and wrote many of the precious information that Mr. Burns provided. Greg’s style of information delivery is outstanding and kept the 50 audiences on the edge of their seats for over 2 hours!
With the strength of being a subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (a Fortunate 500 Company) and the depth as well as the broad-spectrum of knowledge Greg demonstrated, I recommend Mr. Burns and his Company to any investor seeking help in any form of exchange.
