Defer Capital Gains with a 1031 Exchange
With Jeff Helsdon's 36+ years of experience and hundreds of millions of dollars in tax-deferred exchanges, Olympic Exchange Accommodators helps real estate investors across Washington State keep more of their investment working for them.
*Full deferral when properly structured. Depreciation recapture (25%) and NIIT (3.8%) add to the tax without an exchange.

Not all Qualified Intermediaries are created equal. When your exchange funds sit in an account for weeks or months, these things matter enormously.
100% Interest to You
Every dollar of interest earned on your exchange deposits goes to you — not us. Our fee is flat and transparent.
Dual Safe Harbor Protection
We use both the QI and qualified escrow safe harbors — most QIs use only one. Your funds are in segregated accounts at Columbia Bank with dual signature requirements: no disbursement without your authorization.
Full FDIC Coverage
Columbia Bank's sweep program insures your entire balance — not just the first $250,000. Ask us about the details.
Expert Timeline Management
We help you stay on track with the critical 45-day identification and 180-day exchange deadlines.
Complete Documentation
Comprehensive exchange documentation and IRS-compliant reporting for peace of mind.
All Property Types
Forward, reverse, and improvement exchanges for residential, commercial, and land investments.
Serving Washington's Growing Markets
Local expertise in South King, Pierce, Thurston, and Kitsap counties, plus the Wenatchee area. We understand the unique real estate opportunities in your region.
Know Your Critical Deadlines
The success of your 1031 exchange depends on meeting two strict deadlines that cannot be extended:
