James Brennan, JD, LLM announces that he will open ES Group, LLC, a 1031 exchange qualified intermediary (QI) headquartered in Reston, VA. Brennan, a former Vice President with Wachovia Exchange Services, decided that having the flexibility to allow clients to select from a fully FDIC insured exchange as well as allowing for the placement of exchange proceeds with existing banking relationships of clients will instill client confidence in the exchange process. Giving clients the comfort of possibly using their own bank for escrowing funds, was highly appealing to the seasoned veteran. Brennan said, “Today it is about safety of principal and transparency in both the transaction and the relationship. Using only one bank alienates a majority of your client base that has varying degrees of comfort with different financial institutions. You have to give clients a choice on where they park their money."
