I was not looking forward to the complications associated with doing a 1031 Exchange, until I met Eric Bicknese. Eric swiftly met with me, clearly explained the process and asked me what my goal was. Within days he gave me several options, explained the return I could expect and the purchases were completed. His competence, accessibility, and reliability made the process easy and productive.

“I have known and consulted Eric Bicknese for 15 years. He has identified and expedited 13 like-kind (1031) exchanges for me, advised me about other instruments in which I subsequently invested and introduced me to an exceptional long-term care plan in which I am enrolled.
I am very happy with the return on these investments, which have always been appropriate to my risk disposition as well as my portfolio, and I have absolute confidence in the advice Eric provides.  He has unfailingly  disclosed all aspects of an investment, prospective as well as active, anticipating any questions I might have and issues that call for careful review.
He has never 'pushed', never pressed me to consider an investment with which I was at all uncomfortable. 
The fiduciary responsibility Eric exercises on my behalf is unquestionable. He's an advocate.  He has my back.  It's a nice feeling.”
