About
About Brandon Kress, CPA
Brandon helps investors navigate 1031 exchanges with strategic clarity and personalized, CPA-level guidance — protecting and growing wealth through disciplined exchange planning.
A CPA-led approach to Section 1031
Most Qualified Intermediaries focus only on document handling. Brandon brings 15 years of CPA experience to every engagement, so the exchange is structured with your tax outcome in mind from day one. That means basis tracking, depreciation recapture planning, partnership and entity issues, and replacement strategy — all considered before the relinquished property closes.
Who Brandon works with
Individual investors, LLCs, partnerships, and trusts holding investment or business-use real estate. From single rentals to larger commercial dispositions, the same principles apply: protect the deferral, hit the deadlines, and document everything correctly. Owners and advisors can also review the live 1031 exchange briefing.
