Your Selling Strategy
We tailor pricing, marketing, and execution to your timeline and property goals.
- Cap-rate and rent-roll positioning
- 1031 exchange timelines and coordination
- Investor buyer pool marketing
“The 1031 exchange clock is unforgiving - 45 days to identify, 180 days to close. We start the replacement property search before the listing goes live so our investor clients aren't scrambling.”
- Joe Keenan, 100+ investment property transactions
What to Consider
- 1031 exchange timelines are strict and non-extendable - plan months in advance
- Tenant-occupied properties sell to a smaller buyer pool but avoid vacancy costs
- Capital gains on Austin investment properties can be substantial after years of appreciation
