01 — Process

Three steps to move your capital gains into Nevada

From sale close to Las Vegas close — we manage every step of the exchange timeline so you never miss a deadline.

01
Your property closes. The clock starts.
The moment your investment property sale closes, IRS deadlines activate. You have 45 days to identify a replacement property and 180 days to close. We're already working before you close.
Day 0 · Sale closes
02
We identify your Las Vegas replacement.
Based on your equity, lifestyle, and investment goals, we match you to Las Vegas properties — luxury residential, NNN commercial, or passive DST — and lock in identification within the 45-day window.
Days 1–45 · Identification
03
Exchange closes. Gain deferred.
Working with your Qualified Intermediary, we coordinate the exchange close within the 180-day window. Your capital gains are fully deferred into your new Nevada asset. Zero state income tax — forever.

What our clients kept

Every number below represents real deferred capital gains — wealth that stayed with our clients instead of going to Sacramento, Springfield, or Albany.

They had my Malibu timeline mapped out before we even listed. Every deadline was hit. I moved $8.2 million in equity into Nevada without writing a check to California.

$1.9M in capital gains deferred
Our CPA had never seen a smoother exchange. The team identified three MacDonald Highlands properties within 28 days. We closed with 41 days to spare.

Chicago → The Ridges · 2024
$780K in capital gains deferred
I was skeptical that Las Vegas could match the quality I expected. The Ascaya estate they found exceeded what I had in Beverly Hills — at half the tax burden.
