What makes Bob Calongne’s 1031 exchange process different from typical QIs?
The Strategic Approach
Most qualified intermediaries treat a 1031 exchange like a paperwork transaction—collect the documents, hold the funds, and move on. Bob Calongne, attorney and CEO of The 1031 Exchange Center LLC, approaches it completely differently. He sees every exchange as a strategic, high-stakes real estate transaction that deserves legal precision and personal attention from start to finish.
With over 50 years of experience in real estate law, brokerage, and underwriting, Bob personally manages each exchange—no handoffs, no call centers, no confusion. He works directly with clients, brokers, CPAs, and lenders to ensure every detail aligns with IRS §1031 rules. His system prevents the small but critical errors—title mismatches, missed deadlines, lender conflicts—that can quietly disqualify a tax deferral.
Bob also replaces industry jargon with clear, plain-English explanations so clients always understand what’s happening and why. Funds are kept in segregated, FDIC-insured and bonded accounts with dual authorization, same-day wire confirmations, and transparent tracking. The entire process runs on calm control, not guesswork or rush.
Proof: As one investor put it, “Bob didn’t just handle my exchange—he protected my equity like it was his own.”
The 1031 Exchange Center LLC—where expertise meets accountability, and every exchange ends with confidence.
