Unbelievable...and I am not an easy audience because I have old fashioned work ethic and expectations. William Exeter and his incredibly educated and professional staff handled my 1031 with ease and open communication. They took what looked difficult and made a seamless transaction for me. The Exeter staff, including Tamara and Jazmaria, are exceptional. Don't even bother shopping another intermediary- Go with this company and team. Worth every penny! read more

I highly recommend Bill Exeter's services. Having had a rather negative, (impersonal) previous experience with another reputable exchange service, my partners and I were extremely pleased with Bill and his staff's professionalism. Our questions were answered thoroughly as well as promptly, and the process went smoothly for all parties involved. We look forward to doing business with Bill again in the future! read more

I called and spoke with Hiba and stressed that I wasn't totally clear about the rules for a 1031 exchange and that I needed to be walked through the process. She said she understood and I would be taken care of. Then I got passed off to Tamara who ignored my questions and often would reply with her incorrect understanding from skim-reading my question(s). It often took 2 or three times to ask the question before I got a correct answer. My attorney stated the same thing to me about his interaction with her without me even prompting it. In the end, AFTER the sale closed she calls to let me know the sale wasn't 1031 eligible! WTF? I am now royally screwed and I have to put the house back on the market at a big loss. Sooooo furious. Her response was that I should have talked to a tax specialist. WTF is Exeter for then? She did absolutely NOTHING to help. read more

From beginning to end this has been a first class experience. Thank you so much! I really appreciate everyone I have worked with. I know you have been very busy and so thankful you managed to make everything go so smoothly even with the short notice on starting the reverse exchange read more

Don't even bother calling anyone else I recently sold commercial property in Northern California. I have never done a 1031 exchange before and the only advice I received from my realtor was "you need to get a GOOD 1031 exchange company". Big help, right? I dinked around online and on a whim, Sunday night, called Exeter. Imagine my surprise when my call was answered! Impressive. I never questioned my choice and I was treated with courtesy and kindness and incredible efficiency throughout the process, which can be stressful. These people know what they're doing. If you're lucky enough to have Jan Ceresaro on your case, you're double lucky. No phone call went unanswered, emails and texts were responded to promptly. She is a wonderful person and smart, smart, smart. She will help you navigate the 1031 exchange situation like the pro she is. My business partner went with another company and was so envious of how smoothly my transactions were handled. This is an unsolicited but well-deserved review. read more

Exeter made my 1031X super duper easy. No fuss, no pain. Easy trade. Would recommend to all my clients. read more

I just finished my 1031 Exchange with Exeter 1031. They were extremely patient with me, answered all my lame questions, and helped me through the entire process. The market is nuts and I was really nervous, but they got me through the ID deadline and I was able to close on my new rental. I appreciate you Exeter! read more

David Blair is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. David walked me though the entire process and other options before I committed to the 1031 exchange with them. It is soley because of David that I used this company for the exchange. Second to David was the price. No hidden fees. What they state on their website is the entire fee. This was my first exchange so you can imagine how cautious I was and unsure of the process. Now that I know how easy it was and trustworthy thw compqny is, I will do another in the near future with the same company. Thank God for blessing me with David Blair!!!! read more

Called and asked for Jan or David for assistance with my 1031 Exchange, then I left a message with David Blair, he never called back. Called again for the second time and spoke with Cadence. Told her, no one ever returned my call then she put me on hold for the longest. I had to hang up because it was too long. I guess they don't want my business. And I don't want to work with a company that ignores customers especially when dealing with time sensitive business matters. read more

STAY AWAY!! Exeter was 1 of 3 companies referred to me by escrow. The first exchange company on the list was not taking any more orders so I called Exeter. I spoke to Hiba Exeter and was informed that they would be able to do the exchange in 5 days. I completed their application forms within 15min of receiving them and asked next steps. Hiba responded that they would contact escrow for required information. 5 days later, I called for a status update as we were purchasing another property and needed the 1031 contract. Hiba said she would push my order thru underwriting to get my contract by end of day. It was approaching end of day and had not heard anything so I called back. Hiba was not available so I left a message. About an hour later, I received a message from her saying that my order has been assigned to an adminstrator who will call me back tomorrow??? This company clearly DOES NOT CARE about your timelines and Hiba makes EMPTY PROMISES on deliverables. She also quoted me higher pricing when I called back citing that the "owners" recently raised prices but would honor the lower price. I would give this company a zero rating if the system allowed. Exeter not only jerked me around with timing but also pricing. I had to scramble to find another company to handle my 1031 exchange and ended up going with Susan Thomas at D&S Services who turned my exchange contract around within 24 hours AND at a lower price!!! Susan can be reached at (626) 967-7274. read more

The advice from this company helped break up a family. Every negative stereotype you could imagine about real estate and lawyers comes into play with these guys. They serve themselves then the client. read more

Go with another company that knows what they are doing. Representative told me weeks AFTER the 1031-exchange closed that I will be hit with a taxable event based on the exchange transaction. WHAT! Thereby, defeating the whole point of the 1031-exchange! Unbelievable! I asked why you didn't tell me this earlier when it could have been handled, the tax avoided, and the 1031 done properly? Response was there was some small type in one of the volumes of information available on 1031-exchanges I should have known. So, I should have known their job and pay them too! I should have asked for David as he took the time with another reviewer to walk them though the entire process and other options before committing to the 1031 exchange with them. I received none of that help and am now going to be hit with a taxable event and will likely loose tens of thousands of dollars, thereby negating the entire 1031-exchange process! Unbelievable! If you are unfamiliar with how 1031-exchanges work, save yourself thousands of dollars and look elsewhere for a company that looks after their clients' interests, as they are paid to do. read more

I had the pleasure of speaking to Mr. David Blair and he helped me so much over the phone. I had a few questions to determine what my next steps would be and how I would need to move forward. He was patient, clear, and understood what I even was unsure of. He provided me a referral to a tax attorney who was also phenomenally kind and helpful. I know that they're a busy firm but it was much appreciated that he took the time, didn't rush me, and genuinely seemed happy to help. Furthermore, you can tell that they're good at what they do and actually enjoy it - you don't treat people that nicely and willing to help if you weren't happy where you are. Thank you Mr. Blair! I will be keeping you in mind in the future and referring you all! read more

I spoke with Lauren multiple times with questions regarding 1031 exchanges. She was a wealth of information regarding all aspects of exchanges (even details around unusual circumstances), responded quickly to messages left, and inspired confidence. I would highly recommend this company. read more

So this is an additional review apart from the one I made 2 months ago. After seeing William E. (Business owner) response to my first review I figured I'd give them another chance seeing as his response was sincere. I called them to request a 1031 be set up. The receptionist connected me to Hiba once again, the person I complained about the first time. I was a little cringy when the receptionist told me it would be Hiba because I'm sure she's aware of my first review. She got on the phone and I told her I would like to set up a 1031. She new who I was because she was able to tell me my email address, without asking, and asked if it was still correct. I said yes. I told her that I was receiving offers that day so I needed to get it started. She assured me that she would email me the information asap. Almost 24 hours later I still have not received the information. I tried calling William E to try and give him an opportunity to fix this but instead I was told I would talk to his assistant Fung. I was put on hold for an extended amount of time. I got tired of waiting so I hung up and wrote this review. Last time I try and give them a chance to correct their wrong. read more
