Celebrate with Exeter 1031 Exchange Services, LLC on 15 years of business!

“If you build it, they will come.” 

It all started 15 years ago with an idea and one person, William "Bill" L. Exeter. His expertise in the field and passion for 1031 Exchanges started him on this journey. He added Maureen H. Brown to his team one week later on February 14, 2006, and the two of them have kept it growing ever since.

Despite The Great Recession of 2008 and the Coronavirus in 2020, the business stood strong and survived. Bill's and Maureen's hard work, dedication and perseverance paid off. They have built a strong group which now includes 19 full time team members here to serve you. 

They have continued to grow and build The Exeter Group of Companies, and on June 10, 2019, they added Exeter Trust Company to the family of companies which added the additional products and services of Self-Directed IRA’s, Self-Directed Individual 401(k) Plans, Title Holding Trusts (Land Trusts), Specialty Holding Escrows and Custody Services, all focused on Alternative Investments or non-traditional assets.  

Built To Endure - A Better Self-Directed Experience 

A better experience comes from knowing you’re working with a regulated trust company and not just a third-party administrator or processor. A regulated trust company that has the requisite experience and expertise in real estate transactions and closing/settlement processes as well as those products and services offered. One that can consult and collaborate with investors’ legal, tax and financial advisors. 

A firm with significant amounts of fidelity bond coverage, errors and omissions insurance and equity capital. Where trust administrators have decades of experience and have weathered the winds of change.  The Exeter Group of Companies is truly Build To Endure. 

Unraveling the Mystery of DSTs or Delaware Statutory Trusts on Go Ahead, ASK! Podcast

An Introduction to Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs)

One of the most difficult tasks involved in structuring and successfully completing a Tax Deferred Exchange transaction is locating and identifying suitable replacement property within the prescribed deadlines required under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.  

This is especially true in difficult real estate markets like today when you have limited available inventory on the market and must compete with multiple offers and bidding wars.  The 45 calendar day identification period is often not enough time to perform market research and adequate due diligence.  

Delaware Statutory Trust of DSTs 

One option that can take much of the risk out identifying potential replacement properties in a 1031 Exchange transaction is the Delaware Statutory Trust of DST.  The Exeter Group Unravels the Mystery of the Delaware Statutory Trusts on Go Ahead, ASK! Podcast.
