You worked hard to earn and invest this money.  Why let much of that effort go to waste?  The way to preserve and protect it is by using the 1031 Exchange technique that is IRS-approved and has been in the Tax Code since 1921.   That’s for more than 100 years!

We help investment property owners to preserve their wealth and avoid capital gains taxes with our proprietary Exchange Opportunity Kit that tells you what you really need to know about Exchanges.

You can still sell your property just as you planned.  The difference is that a properly structured 1031 Exchange will allow you to legally defer paying onerous capital gains taxes.

1031 Services are now a mature business category. Section 1031 Rules are defined in the Tax Code and are the same for everyone.  The 1031 forms all Qualified Intermediaries use are virtually identical.  And most Intermediaries have proper Money Safety protection protocols.   All of these service features are simply basic “core competency” requirements in the 1031 world of today – and these make typical 1031 Exchange Services a generic commodity.  Here is an important fact of business life.

The more similar the service, the more important are the differences.

Why should you choose us instead of one of our competitors?  Our unique benefits are what make us different and better – and worthy of being retained by you.

  1. You have already seen the headline about our FEE FREE 1031 Exchange.   This is for a Standard 1031 Deferred Exchange.  This $0 FEE will save you the $1,000 or more our competitors would charge you.  This is better than some pseudo “Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee” because there is “no fee” in the first place!
  2. Our Founder, John Galley, has been acting as a 1031 Exchange Intermediary for over 40 years – doing thousands of Exchanges!  He is a trusted Exchange Strategist and is called “The Exchange Coach” by many.
  3. Having practiced real estate law for decades, we have real world experience being intimately knowledgeable about the underlying transactions that are part of an Exchange.  This knowledge can be extremely useful and helpful – and make an important difference just when it’s really needed.  We are not a group of cloistered bureaucrats who simply quote 1031 rules.
  4. AND we have Bonus Benefits – highlighted by our proprietary Exchange Opportunity Kit of important 1031 information. (We will discuss those details in a moment.)

For decades, John Galley was a licensed Real Estate Attorney in Illinois and Wisconsin. He is a cum laude graduate of Dartmouth and received his law degree from IIT/Chicago-Kent College of Law.

A Starker Exchange legal writing assignment in law school marked the beginning of his interest in 1031 Exchanges. This eventually led to his retirement from a more traditional practice of law and the formation of his Qualified Intermediary company.

  • Has acted as a Qualified Intermediary for decades doing thousands of 1031 Exchanges.
  • Schooled by the two lawyers who wrote the 1991 Exchange regulations for the IRS and Treasury Department.
  • Charter Member of the Midwest Chapter of the national Federation of Exchange Accommodators (FEA).
  • Faculty for State Bar CLE presentations.
  • Exchange Presentations on behalf of eight State Bar Associations.
  • Featured Exchange Presentations at several American Land Title Association (ALTA) annual conventions.
  • Consultant and Expert Witness for 1031 Exchange lawsuits.
  • Published Exchange Articles in Title News (the official publication of ALTA), the Illinois Real Estate Journal, the Maine Lawyers Review, the Maine Business Monthly, and a published interview in Lawyers Weekly USA.

“I first met John through a mutual attorney friend. As I learned of his exchange capabilities, I was more than impressed. Being one of the Charter Members of the Legal Division at the American Land Title Association (ALTA), I knew John could be a great resource for all the Association Members. The relationship has blossomed by way of several ALTA Convention presentations. I am proud to have been the catalyst for this relationship.”

“Following his presentations in both
Madison and Milwaukee, many practitioners came forward to tell me that John gave the best presentation they had ever heard on the topic. As one written evaluation stated:
“Mr. Galley capably translated a complex area of the law so it was timely, relevant, understandable and useful for those of us who do transactions. The written materials
will be a very valuable resource back at the office. He should be invited back every year!” I couldn’t agree more.

You will have a separate, sub-account within the Wealth Preservation 1031 Master Exchange account at our Exchange-experienced Trustee Bank. Your funds are never co-mingled with any others.

To maximize Money Safety, we use a “dual signature” procedure for the transfer of any of your monies out of your sub-account. One signature is on behalf of Wealth Preservation 1031 (thus eliminating total control of the money by you at this time – which according to the IRS Exchange Rules would cause your Exchange to fail).  And the other signature is yours or someone designated by you to sign on your behalf. The identity and confirmed signature of this person is provided to our Trustee Bank and is unknown to Wealth Preservation 1031. We will provide you with the form and instructions on how to do this. No monies can be transferred anywhere without this procedure having been initiated and completed. So bottom-line; YOU must know of and approve of ANY transfers of your sale proceeds money.

We pioneered this Dual Signature approach decades ago – and now it is required by most states who license Qualified Intermediaries.

We have Bonus Benefits that will show you why:           

  • Our proprietary “Exchange Diagram” that shows “how” an Exchange takes place – step-by-step.  (You can see what this looks like right now – and how effective it is – by clicking on this link.)
  • A “Ten Minute Exchange Primer” to get you “up to speed” on 1031 information that will empower you to become a better Real Estate Investor.  This is what you really need to know about Exchanges – and it is discussed in plain English – not LegalSpeak.
  • A Capital Gains Worksheet that shows how to determine the likely Capital Gains, and subsequent Tax that will be owed, if the Exchange technique is not employed.  This can be rather horrifying when “the sorry story” is revealed.  You need to see the harsh truth for yourself. And we point out several misconceptions people have about ways they think will reduce their capital gains tax exposure – but actually do not!
  • An important discussion about choices for your Replacement Purchase that can be solid investments with excellent returns. They eliminate the need to be a “landlord” – if that is one of your goals.  And “landlording” may be what is keeping you from otherwise using the 1031 Exchange technique.

If you retain us as your 1031 Qualified Intermediary before your Relinquished Property sale goes under contract, it enables us to do a better job of making sure all the details of your Exchange are timely addressed in the best possible manner.  This benefits both of us.  To encourage you to do this, we offer you our FEE FREE 1031 Exchange. 

If you have already gone “under contract”, of course we still want your Exchange business and we will still provide you with our FEE FREE 1031 Exchange Offer – but again, we can do our best job for you when we are involved right from the start – the earlier the better.

To qualify for this FEE FREE 1031 Exchange Offer – and help us predict our work flow and do the best possible job for you – we will issue you a personalized FEE FREE 1031 Exchange Certificate.  When you make a decision to retain us as your Intermediary, simply submit the Certificate and you will not be charged a Fee for a Standard 1031 Delayed Exchange.

  1. Save money with use of the IRS-approved 1031 Exchange technique and also save money with our service that provides it.
  2. THE PATENT-PENDING 1031 EXCHANGE RESULT GUARANTEE We don’t merely tell you your Exchange should work. We stand financially behind the defined result. We believe this to be unique in the Qualified Intermediary industry.
  3. Our FEE FREE 1031 Exchange.  This major benefit will save you $1,000 or more from what our competitors would charge you.
  4. You will have “The Exchange Coach” in your corner throughout the Exchange.  John Galley has superb Exchange credentials and has been “in the trenches” as a Lawyer doing thousands of Exchanges for decades.  He is not some “cloistered bureaucrat” just quoting Exchange rules.
  5. Our Exchange Opportunity Kit of important, helpful 1031 Exchange education information.  We want you to be “1031 literate” and achieve the best possible 1031 Exchange result.
  6. Replacement Property Alternatives.  Are you sick and tired of being a Landlord? We have important information that can tell you about investment-grade real estate alternatives that are “1031 qualified”, have excellent returns, and are hassle-free. (We do not sell those products and earn any commission or referral fee.)
