Investment Strategy

1031 Exchange Specialist

A 1031 exchange lets you sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into a like-kind property, deferring capital gains taxes and building long-term wealth.

Jim Williams is a 1031 exchange specialist with personal experience in 25+ real estate transactions. He understands the strategy from both sides: as a broker and as an investor.

The Process

How a 1031 Exchange Works

1

Identify Your Property to Sell

List your existing investment property with Williams Realty. Jim's pricing expertise and network help you maximize sale proceeds.

2

45-Day Window

You have 45 days from the sale closing to identify up to three potential replacement properties. Jim helps you find the right ski-area properties within your timeline.

3

Due Diligence

A Qualified Intermediary holds your funds during the exchange. Jim can connect you with trusted 1031 exchange intermediaries who specialize in Utah mountain real estate transactions.

4

Execute the Purchase

Complete the purchase within 180 days of your sale closing. Jim coordinates the timeline to keep your exchange on track.

5

Close & Defer Taxes

By completing the exchange, you defer (potentially indefinitely) the capital gains taxes on your sale. Keep that money working in your new mountain property.
