ALTERNATIVE DISPOSITION SERVICES
- Sale and Lease-Back. Selling your real estate, but leaving your business in place, can bring in additional needed cash and limit costly mortgages. There is always a cost, but we know how to help you balance the fine line between leasing and mortgages.
- Installment Sales and/or Seller Financing. Sometimes you want to capitalize on a hot market, but don’t want the tax burden all at once. A properly structured installment sale may help you both control your cash flow and tax liability, while also taking advantage of the current market.
- 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange. If you do it right, this simple strategy could mean millions more in your pocket later. We are all about using available resources to help you retire sooner and create a legacy.

It’s amazing the number of stories we will take to the grave. For over a decade, as have worked with a wide range of professionals and have helped hundreds of families get their lives back on track.
NON-PERFORMING ASSET SOLUTIONS
A short sale is where you ask your bank to take less than they are owed. This can involve mortgages, liens, judgements, homeowner association assessments, and more.
While we do not get involved directly with bankruptcies, we have resources and can help guide you through either a Chapter 7 (liquidate everything), Chapter 13 (restructure your plans), or Chapter 11 (business reorganization). Bankruptcy is a business decision, not who you are as a person.
Receivership is a unique statue for Washington State. Think of it similar to a short sale and a bankruptcy in that is allows you to sell your assets and settles all future liability or obligations at once. However, it is unique in that it can be a much smoother process and less hassle by handing everything over to a third party to handle. Most people have never heard of receivership, but we’ve been doing these for over a decade with our court-appointed receivers.
With an increase in property values, these are in less of a demand today. However, they are both options that allow you to work with your existing loan and renegotiate terms that you can make work with your current income stream.
This is usually the end of the road. While no one wants to go into foreclosure, sometimes it does make sense. This is a very tricky road to navigate, with dozens of moving pieces that could come back to haunt you.
