Reverse & Improvement Exchanges

When the replacement property comes first—or needs work

Some transactions use more specialized structures when replacement property must be acquired before relinquished property is sold or when improvements are part of the intended exchange value. These structures require careful documentation, timing and professional coordination; the standard deferred-exchange workflow should not simply be assumed to apply unchanged.
