"Q: Several years ago you gave me valuable information on a 1031 exchange. Now I need information on how long I have to keep the properties I purchased with my 1031 exchange funds. Is the law the same as if I purchased the property straight out? It has been two years since I purchased the property. Is the long-term capital gain still the same?
A: Your timing couldn’t have been better, and when it comes to 1031 exchanges, timing is everything."

"Today, consumers rely heavily on real estate agents, with 87 percent of home buyers using real estate agents last year, according to NAR’s report. Sellers—90 percent of whom listed their homes in the MLS—placed high priority on the following five benefits of using a real estate professional: market the home to potential buyers (20 percent), price the home competitively (20 percent), sell the home within a specific time frame (19 percent), find a buyer for the home (14 percent), and help fix the home to sell better (14 percent).
