Our transaction was smooth although there could be a tad more communication during the closing to make the experience seamless.

In the past 6 years i sold a few of my apartment buildings and then purchased a few million in DST’ s through Realized. The entire team is highly profesional and reputable from start to finish. I’m not the best at record keeping and even after a few years if I have any questions or need some records or financial info regarding a DST , Realized promptly answers all my questions and has always provided any records I might need. Clay and David you are a pleasure to work with. Many thanks and look forward to doing many more in the near future. All the best, Daniel L

I wanted to invest in IHC Reno, but all positions were taken before it hit the market. I had 2 other brokers I was dealing with, and neither could get me a position. I had talked previously to Realized about wanting that DST when it came out, and was told I had a position reserved. One of the other brokers told me he checked with IHC and I had nothing reserved, it wouldn't happen, and that I was being mis-lead. I confirmed my position with Realized and was grateful when the investment went through as promised. I was initially attracted to Realized because they provided a list of investments they represented in a concise format AND that it included the % return for each one. Everyplace else I went, it was a complicated process to get comparative data, particularly the % return. People I talked to were also very well informed and responsive to all questions I asked. I have also recently had a good conversation with Ed Maddox (post investment) and felt he does an excellent job of describing his journey and the pros/cons from his (investor) perspective. I will definitely do business with Realized again.

very responsive representatives

We spent several months researching DSTs and the DST process and were very grateful for all the data, advice and patient answering of our many questions by Jacob and Drew. We recently closed on the sale of our multifamily property and we could not have asked for better service and response during the hectic 45-day window imposed by the 1031 exchange process. We have now closed on multiple DSTs and would not have felt comfortable doing so had we not been able to have some pretty serious questions answered and some very detailed data made available to us. Including one-on-one phone meetings with Sponsors when needed. We have other family members with income property and based on our experiences, they intend to trust Realized with their upcoming 1031 Exchanges as well.

Realized put together my transaction from inception to completion, by matching me with a secondary market buyer and a suitable replacement property DST. Drew, Sam, and Beth all worked together to make it a seamless transaction, and were always available to respond to questions, however technical or trivial the questions were. The team handled everything professionally from the beginning to the end. I look forward to future transactions with Realized.

I'm not sure if I could have had a better experience. We met on zoom and from the beginning all my questions were answered. I do have a financial background and experience and my questions were about the details. They did everything I would have thought they should. The professionalism was top-notch. From evaluating conservatively to explaining why their selection of investment vehicle fit our situation, not a beat was missed. The follow up and follow thru was timely and appropriate. We had changes to our plan and experts invited from the sponsor. I was impressed by how right on target nearly every step was executed. I would have no reluctance at all recommending the team at Realized 1031. The only thing critical I can come up with is that I was the one that had to inject some humor to lighten the serious mood. The team was all about achieving my goals.

Last year, my brother and I sold our parents' commercial retail property in southern California, and faced significant capital gains tax liability without much knowledge of 1031 investment approaches other than investing back into direct real estate ownership.  We first turned to our family’s longstanding and well recognized money manager who directed us to its recommended 1031 expert.  We also heard about  Realized and contacted their representative, Clay Schmidt. The contrast between the two advisors was eye-opening. Clay and other team members were always available for our questions and requests with thoughtful, thorough, prompt, courteous, objective (they had many DST offerings so were not invested into any particular sponsor), well-reasoned answers/analytics/summaries in both verbal and written form that were tailored to our specific needs – a very “client-centric process.”  No question or request we raised was unworthy of their timely and expert attention that were again tailored to our situation. Realized’s website and its webinars were also informative, invaluable instructional, neutral aids in learning about various property types, how to spread risk, debt and exit strategies, and many other considerations, including Covid-19 impacts on DST investments.  Their team flawlessly handled our closing among the multiple DST sponsors and the intermediary.  I have and will continue to unhesitatingly recommend others to Realized – I believe it was very fortuitous that we found Realized.   ----- Roger K.
