Brokers, is it acceptable to contact you regarding this?
We specialize in 1031 Exchange passive real estate investments. Our products represent fractional ownership in institutional real estate. The properties are all readily available so closing time can be as soon as 5 days. 

I'm exploring new ways to market our products. I was wondering if calling up real estate brokers with pending sales to see if their client is looking to identify a replacement property, or need a backup plan would work.

So brokers, would this be appreciated since I'm offering a solution? or is there a more effective way to approach this and market it? 

All input is appreciated. Thanks!

Think of it as mutual fund for real estate.\n\nIt's a passive investment offering the potential for monthly income, diversification and appreciation without any on-going landlord duties. It's considered \"Like Kind\" and you can 1031 in and out of it.\n\nThey're readily available and can close in 2-3 days so you don't have to worry about the 45 day identification period or the 180 day closing window.\n\nInvestors in DST's also have protection against loan recourse, because they are not personally liable for the acquisition of properties included in the DST. Their credit is not on the line which frees up their balance sheet as well.\n\nBecause of the likelihood that a DST will close, it never hurts to have it as a backup plan in a 1031 Exchange. \n\nI hope this gives you a general idea. Many people aren't aware of these vehicles, and I think it's very important to make them aware of what's available to them. Some of the comments here mentioned a DST would be a last resort for a broker because they don't make as much money on it if at all, therefore they're less likely to recommend it. \n\nIf you have any other questions feel free to ask.", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "h9blcjm", "text": "Personally I wouldnt mind, actually I would even welcome a direct call regarding something like this. There is a good number of sellers letting go of their income producing properties looking to do a 1031 in a different location right now in my area (Queens, NYC).
