Nicole Vella Becomes Certified Exchange Specialist®

The designation is the result of lengthy experience in the 1031 exchange industry coupled with proven knowledge of QI ethics and best practices.

We’re proud to announce that JTC Client Services Manager, Nicole Vella, is now a Certified Exchange Specialist® after passing the CES® exam from the Federation of Exchange Accommodators.

Only available to those with specific work experience in the 1031 exchange space, “The CES® designation demonstrates to a taxpayer considering an exchange that the exchange accommodator they have chosen possesses a certain level of experience and knowledge.”

In order to become certified, Nicole had to pass an in-depth exam on 1031-related topics “designed to challenge the candidate’s knowledge of 1031 exchange rules” and “competency when performing the critical activities of an exchange facilitator and ethical issues that may emerge during a 1031 exchange.”

While a Qualified Intermediary (QI) is required for all 1031 exchange transactions, not all QIs are created equal. Nicole’s willingness to seek out professional certification through a voluntary process is indicative of her commitment to her profession. We’re proud to have someone like Nicole at JTC as we strive to deliver the highest quality of service through best practices in 1031 exchanges.

Property owners can trust that when they work with Nicole at JTC, they’re getting someone who knows the ins and outs of 1031 and has a proven commitment to going above and beyond for them.
