1031 Exchange Representation
1031 Exchanges in Estero & Southwest Florida
An exchange is a deadline problem as much as a real estate problem. Jack Mancini has handled 1031 exchange transactions in Southwest Florida, and the team is built to move at the speed the calendar demands.
He also works regularly with established qualified intermediaries in Southwest Florida. If you do not already have one, he can make an introduction — any referral is simply an introduction to an independent firm, with no partnership or fee arrangement involved, and you engage whomever you choose. Jack Mancini and his team are licensed real estate professionals — not attorneys, CPAs, or tax advisors — and a QI is required for any exchange.

The Clock
The Hardest Part of an Exchange Is Usually the Calendar
Strict IRS deadlines apply to a 1031 exchange, and they are short. Your qualified intermediary and your CPA define exactly what those requirements are for your transaction.
What that means in practice is simple and unforgiving: if replacement property is not identified and closed within the window, the exchange does not work. Everything else — the analysis, the strategy, the paperwork your professionals prepare — depends on the real estate actually happening on time.
So the question worth asking an agent is not whether they have heard of a 1031 exchange. It is whether they treat the timeline as real, whether they can put credible options in front of you immediately, and whether they can move decisively when you pick one. That is the entire job on this side of the transaction.
Jack Mancini and his team are licensed real estate professionals — not attorneys, CPAs, or tax advisors. We do not advise on the tax side. We execute the real estate side within whatever timeline your professionals set.
Built for Speed
Why a Dedicated Buyer's Agent Matters Against a Deadline
On a normal purchase, a slow week costs you nothing. On an exchange, it can cost you the exchange.
Inventory We Already Know
We are not researching Southwest Florida for the first time when you call. Knowing the communities, the price bands, and what is realistically available lets us surface replacement candidates in days rather than weeks.
A Full-Time Buyer's Agent
Landon Davis works buyer representation full time. Your replacement property search gets dedicated attention instead of being squeezed between listing appointments — which matters enormously when there is a clock running.
Trips That Cover Ground
Personalized tours with access to gated communities that are difficult to see otherwise. An investor flying in gets an efficient, high-coverage trip rather than a wasted one.
Decisive on Offers
Offers written and submitted quickly, negotiated with the understanding that in an exchange, certainty and speed can carry as much weight as price.
Already Have a Closing Date on the Relinquished Property?
Then the useful thing to do today is start looking. Tell us the parameters and we will have candidates in front of you quickly.
Both Sides
Replacement Property, Relinquished Property, or Both
Southwest Florida can be either end of your exchange. We handle the real estate work on whichever side sits here.
Buying the Replacement Property
- A shortlist built from inventory we already track — Estero, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, and the Corkscrew Corridor — rather than a search started from scratch.
- Tours arranged with gate access in advance, so a two-day trip covers what it needs to cover.
- Offers written quickly and structured for a clean, predictable path to closing.
- Contract dates and closing coordination shared with your qualified intermediary and CPA so nothing on our side surprises them.
Selling the Relinquished Property
- Jack's pricing and marketing approach applied exactly as on any listing, with more than two decades of Southwest Florida sales behind it.
- Offers evaluated with the awareness that the closing date on this sale starts the clock on everything that follows.
- Tight management of the closing calendar, because a slipped date here is not just an inconvenience.
- Replacement property search running in parallel, so the two sides of your exchange are not handled by two disconnected teams.
Your Buyer's Agent
Landon Davis Works Buyers Full Time
Most agents fit buyer showings around listing appointments. Landon does not — buyer representation is the whole job. On an exchange, that difference is not a nicety. It is the difference between seeing eight properties this week and seeing two.
He gives personalized tours and arranges access to gated and guard-gated communities across the Estero area that are genuinely difficult to see on your own. For an investor flying in with limited days, the itinerary is the product: grouped geographically, confirmed in advance, and built around what you actually need the property to do.
Before You Sell
Talk to Your CPA and a Qualified Intermediary First
A 1031 exchange requires a qualified intermediary. If you are considering one, engage a QI and your CPA before you sell — certain steps have to be in place beforehand, and those professionals will tell you what they are. This is not something to sort out after a closing.
Jack Mancini and his team are licensed real estate professionals. We are not attorneys, CPAs, or tax advisors, and nothing on this page is tax or legal advice. We do not advise on whether a property or a transaction qualifies, how an exchange should be structured, or what the deadlines require of you. Those answers come from your own professionals.
We also do not recommend a particular qualified intermediary and have no QI affiliation. We work alongside whichever QI and CPA you choose — keeping them informed on contract dates, inspection periods, and closing timelines so the real estate side stays on schedule with the plan they set.
Selling a Southwest Florida Property as Part of an Exchange?
Pricing and positioning matter more than usual when the closing date sets everything that follows. Start with a valuation.
Common Questions
1031 Exchange Questions — The Real Estate Side
These answers cover how we work an exchange as your real estate team. Questions about tax treatment, qualification, and deadlines belong with your CPA and qualified intermediary.

Start the Real Estate Side of Your Exchange
A few questions about the property and the timing so we can start work while your QI and CPA handle the exchange itself.
This is a real estate intake only. Speak with your CPA and qualified intermediary about the exchange itself — we do not ask for or advise on tax details.
Let's Get Moving
The Sooner We Start, the Less the Clock Matters
Engage your qualified intermediary and CPA, then bring us in. The earlier we understand what your replacement property needs to be, the more of the search is already done when your timeline formally begins.
