Our Staff
Kim Varnes is our closer. She has been through countless property transactions. When the big day comes to sign papers and exchange cash for land, you will have her experience on your side.
Lori Fraboni is a title assistant and, once you have chosen our firm to help you with your real estate transaction, she is available to answer questions on the status of your title work.
Whether you need something as simple as having a deed drafted for you or as comprehensive as someone to represent you from negotiations through closing, we have the attorneys and the support personnel who will take the time to find out what you need and how best to obtain that result for you.
1031 Tax-Free Exchanges
Our attorneys are equipped to walk you through 1031 Tax-Free Exchanges. Section 1031 of the tax code permits the seller of property to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of property if they use the proceeds to buy a replacement property with the proceeds from their sale. To qualify for this benefit, the tax code has some very strict requirements for timing your transactions and documenting the actual exchange. It is essential that, in order to take advantage of the deferment, you never receive the proceeds. We can make sure to follow every step in order for you not to lose the advantage that Congress has seen fit to provide.
