Your goal is to build wealth by accumulating and protecting your assets. Our mission at Asset Preservation, Inc. (API) is to help you meet that goal through our expert knowledge of 1031 exchanges – powerful strategies for mitigating capital gain tax liability.

Many investors are becoming aware that the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provides a vehicle for deferring capital gain taxes while disposing of investment property. This vehicle is the IRC Section 1031 exchange.

As a leading national 1031 exchange company (qualified intermediary), Asset Preservation is committed to providing its exchange customers with unmatched service and the highest level of security available in the 1031 exchange industry. From the customer’s first contact with an API representative, API’s professional exchange counselors, attorneys and accountants work together to meet the customer’s service needs in order to ensure a smooth transaction with no surprises. In the background, API management maintains tight financial controls and multi-layered security systems necessary to provide a level of comfort and the quality of performance relied on by sophisticated investors and Corporate America; we call it “The API Advantage™.”

I have never been so satisfied and grateful working with a company that their staff are ALWAYS available, courteous, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable in their field…AND on the ball! I have already told several business colleagues about Asset Preservation. Thanks to you, I was able to successfully complete several 1031 exchanges. Thank you for taking my call, answering all my questions, and following through immediately.

Marina F., California

I wish all real estate transactions were handled in this professional manner. You have me for life as long as you maintain this high level of customer satisfaction. Your counselors never hesitated to answer my questions and ALWAYS seemed to go the extra mile to make sure everything was 100%. I have recommended you to my associates and friends and will continue to do so. Best wishes, Mike.

Alan W., New Jersey

Your entire team was always helpful, always professional and extremely well advised of all conditions and procedures for 1031 exchanges. I particularly found API’s command of the subject matter and the simple way complex issues were explained to me invaluable to my investments and overall planning. On a scale of 1-5, asked above, I would give API a 6 and have recommend your company to many friends and associates. Thank you.

Rick S., New York

If I could give 100 stars for support and attention to detail I definitely would. Your team did a great job. This was our first experience using a professional exchange company, and we were very pleased with how your representatives responded to our questions. The process was accurately described to us when we joined the process and things happened in the order and time frame we expected. The speed of support and attention to detail is quite phenomenal. You will be extremely pleased.
