IRC Section 1031
Exchange Experts

I had the pleasure of attending a 1031 exchange class with Doug and it was very informative yet personable. Doug is very knowledgeable of the past, present, and future goings of the real estate market and how to advise his clients accordingly. I will certainly be recommending Doug to my investor clients!

Just finished a 1031 exchange with Doug. Working with him and his team was the best part of the whole transaction. Doug is the most knowledgeable business professional….I got so much info from every conversation. Highly recommend him on every level. Coming from the opposite coasts, I found it helpful that he was in the office later in my day, so that we could always tie up loose ends and keeps things moving smoothly.

Doug went above and beyond giving me the RIGHT advice to move forward with. That advice was honest, that advice was that his services wouldn’t benefit me in this particular circumstance. Keep in mind usually his services would help most people just not in my case this time. He spent a lot of his own time and I feel like I got expert advice for a stand up business. Doug will definitely be my go to guy in the future. I highly recommend reaching out to him when you have any questions about a 1031. Thanks Doug

I’d highly recommend Doug Blackwell. He constantly demonstrates one can combine deep analytical abilities with a good sense of humor. Doug’s good character allows him to never lose sight of doing the right thing in all business decisions he takes part in making. He works hard to uncover exactly what is in his client’s best interest.

Doug is an AWESOME 1031 exchange guru. The help he provides beyond completing the exchange process is top notch. He can help you strategize with timing issues, straddles, look at drop and swap issues, as well as how to leverage with other tax benefits.

I have worked with Doug Blackwell for about 5 years now. . .we do continuing education workshops for realtors in any state. Doug knows his stuff. . . everyone I have referred him to has promptly received a phone call from him. I trust Doug completely with my clients and referral partners.

Doug came to our office and gave us a great course on 1031 Exchanges, as well as other applicable changes to things such as transfer taxes, etc. that are important to understand to better serve our clients. He was super knowledgeable and very approachable, and I highly recommend taking the time to chat with him about any questions regarding the topic!

I had an opportunity to listen to Doug speak about 1031 exchanges and was completely blown away with his depth of knowledge and expertise. The Q&A afterwards was very informative. I’m a seasoned real estate investor and will certainly use Doug for my next exchange!

Doug is a dinosaur in this business; been around forever.. But he’s the rare dinosaur that lived through the meteor strike, i.e. 2008. What that means to his clients is that he’s seen every mistake get made (by competitors, of course) and will keep you from needing to learn those lessons yourself. In 1031 business, mistakes simply can’t happen and Doug is the best at keeping people from them.

I’ve worked with Doug for many years for my client and my own 1031 exchange. He’s been a wealth of knowledge on 1031 strategies and orchestrating the complexities of it to maximize return.

Doug Blackwell – is the most knowledgeable person I’ve worked with when it comes to doing a 1031. Plus he makes it seem so easy to understand all the details. I highly recommend his services to anyone who deals with investment properties.

Recently we had the pleasure of working with Doug Blackwell and his team involving a 1031 exchange. He is very professional, prompt, thorough, and pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend them.
