Fund handling

Homepage does not name a deposit bank, segregated vs pooled accounts, or dual-signature / QEA wire control.

Fee structure

Homepage: Pay only $1,150 for a Forward Exchange. Reverse, construction, and reverse-construction have no public dollar on that page.

Who it is for

Colorado QI for exchangers who want Cooney & Associates, DBA 1031 Real Estate Exchange Specialist — a Durango practice founded by Tim Cooney — for a published $1,150 forward fee and a menu that includes reverse, construction, and reverse-construction. Public brand: 1031 Real Estate Exchange Specialist. Footer: performing exchanges for over 30 years; national service. Mail: PO Box 3220, Durango, CO 81302. Email exchange@1031taxinfo.com. Phone (970) 259-2077. Homepage team: Tim Cooney (accountant / realtor background) and Gina Warner — no CES® marks. Company FEA, bond dollars, segregation, and DST are not on the page cited.

Verdict

Durango QI with a rare public forward-fee card ($1,150) and a published reverse, construction, and reverse-construction menu. That is enough to list. Company FEA, CES® names, where the money sits, bond and E&O dollars, dual-signature wires, and DST are not on the homepage. Reverse and construction prices are unpublished. Ask for today’s certificates, the live account title, a written reverse/construction quote, and who can release the wire before a large transfer.

Notes

This is a QI custody file, not a securities offering. The homepage footer: Founded by Tim Cooney, Cooney & Associates, DBA 1031 Real Estate Exchange Specialist, is a 1031 exchange company (qualified intermediary) based in Durango, Colorado. Confirm that DBA on the exchange agreement. 1031 Real Estate Exchange Specialist is the intermediary that would hold exchange proceeds. A Delaware statutory trust is typically a securities offering sold by a sponsor and registered representatives — a different product. The homepage does not publish a DST desk.

Homepage: Pay only $1,150 for a Forward Exchange. That is a published forward-fee card. Reverse, construction, and reverse-construction are described on the same page without public dollars.

Homepage exchange types: forward; reverse (QI holds the deed until the relinquished property is sold); construction (build or improve replacement; use exchange funds within 180 days); reverse-construction (buy first, QI holds deed, improve, then sell the relinquished property). Reverse and improvement are therefore yes.

Company FEA, CES® marks, a deposit bank, segregated vs pooled accounts, dual-signature / QEA wire control, and bond or E&O dollars are not on the homepage opened 2026-09-14.

Team on that page: Tim Cooney (Notre Dame 1968; accountant more than 60 years; licensed realtor 46 years) and Gina Warner (exchange business 7 years). Neither line carries a CES® mark.

Mail / contact: PO Box 3220, Durango, CO 81302. exchange@1031taxinfo.com. (970) 259-2077. National service; four-corners origin Durango, CO and Farmington, NM.

Volume lines (“thousands of clients,” 30+ years) are firm marketing, not a rating. Ask Cooney & Associates for today’s certificates, the live account title, a written reverse or construction quote, and who can release the wire — then read those papers, not this summary.
