Maria Belen Avellaneda, an agent with Keller Williams NYC, just wrapped up a flawless 1031 exchange topping out at over $34 million.
Within a single week, she was able to sell one Upper East Side condo for $21.3 million and use the proceeds to buy another for $12.9 million.
The effort allowed her clients to utilize the 1031 tax exchange, which requires investors sell and re-invest in a similar asset to defer taxes to the future.
“In an environment where some transactions may take months, through our relationship with the developer and my deep expertise in putting together complex deals, I’m pleased that we were able to close smoothly on both the sale and the purchase of these two prestigious condominiums,Ë® said Avellaneda, who’s now listing her client’s new 4,400 s/f condo for rent at $45,000 a month.
Avellaneda completed the deal on behalf of a family office which specializes in ultra-high end rentals leased to C-level executive and high-net worth individuals.
