A 1031 Exchange Real Estate Agent for the Calabasas Area
An investor needs a different agent than a first-time buyer, and a 1031 exchange real estate agent needs to respect deadlines that do not move. Talbot Real Estate Group works with investors and developers on acquisitions, dispositions, and 1031 exchanges across Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Malibu, and the west San Fernando Valley. We are brokered by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties at 23925 Park Sorrento in Calabasas.
The numbers come first with investment property. Our sold work spans price points from a $525,000 sale at 1608 Alviso in Simi Valley to $1,950,000 at 6464 Colgate Ave in Los Angeles, and that range matters when you are comparing what a dollar buys across different submarkets. Call or text us at (310) 430-4186 to talk through a deal.
How We Support Investors
Buying and Selling Investment Property
We help you evaluate deals the way you would: what it rents for, what comparable properties trade at, and what the exit looks like. On the sell side, an investment property gets the same pricing discipline and marketing as our residential listings, plus a buyer pool that includes the investors and developers we already work with. If you are selling a property you live in, start with our seller page instead.
1031 Exchanges: The Timeline Is the Job
In a 1031 exchange, the IRS deadlines are fixed: in general terms, you have 45 days from the sale of your relinquished property to identify replacement property, and 180 days to close on it. Miss either and the tax deferral is gone. Our role is the real estate side of that clock: having your sale and your replacement search coordinated so you are not identifying properties in a panic on day 40. We are not tax advisors, and a 1031 should always be run with your CPA and a qualified intermediary. We work alongside them.
Working with Developers
We also work with builders and developers on acquisitions and sales, where speed, candor, and deal certainty matter more than hand-holding.

Investor Questions We Hear Most
- Do you give tax advice on 1031 exchanges?
No. We handle the real estate: selling your relinquished property, finding replacement property, and keeping the transaction on schedule. The tax strategy belongs with your CPA, and the exchange itself must run through a qualified intermediary. If you do not have those in place yet, get them involved before you sell.
- What are the 1031 deadlines?
In general terms: 45 days from closing your sale to identify replacement property in writing, and 180 days to close on it. These are IRS rules and they are strict. Confirm how they apply to your specific exchange with your CPA and qualified intermediary before you commit to a sale date.
- What kinds of property qualify for a 1031?
Broadly, real property held for investment or business use, exchanged for other like-kind investment or business property. Your primary residence does not qualify. Whether a specific property and structure qualify is a question for your tax advisor, and we will work within whatever they confirm.
- Do you only work with experienced investors?
No. We work with developers doing repeat deals and with owners doing their first exchange or first rental purchase. The service is the same: straight numbers, honest advice, and a transaction that closes on time.
