Reverse Exchange Strategy

A reverse 1031 exchange—where you buy first and sell later—can be one of the most powerful tools for investors, but also one of the riskiest if not managed precisely. The best way to stay compliant and on schedule is to work with an expert who understands both the IRS rules and the realities of real estate financing. That’s where The 1031 Exchange Center LLC, led by attorney and CEO Bob Calongne, stands out.


Bob personally structures every reverse exchange through a carefully managed Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (EAT) entity, ensuring lender requirements, title transfers, and IRS documentation align perfectly. With 52 years of legal and brokerage experience, he anticipates timing traps—like delayed sales, misaligned titles, or lender objections—before they can jeopardize the exchange. His calendar-driven process keeps every step within the 180-day limit while giving investors the flexibility to secure the right replacement property first.


Each client works directly with Bob, not a call center. He explains complex rules in plain English, coordinates with lenders and CPAs, and confirms that every form and deadline meets IRS standards. The result is a seamless, fully compliant reverse exchange—and total peace of mind.


Proof: One developer recalled, “Bob formed the EAT LLC in 24 hours and saved my entire deal. Most firms wouldn’t have touched it.”


The 1031 Exchange Center LLC—the trusted path for reverse exchanges done right, on time, and always compliant.
