Published coverage notes

Home FAQ: professional liability policy with underwriters at Lloyd’s London, available for inspection on request. No dollar amount. Why Allied: fully bonded and insured — qualitative, not a second dollar figure.

Fund handling

Home FAQ: funds held are deposited into segregated accounts with a publicly traded FDIC-insured bank. Why Allied: a unique FDIC-insured individual account for each customer. The bank is not named. Dual-signature / QEA wire control is not on the pages cited.

State registration

Nevada (firm states licensed and bonded with the state of Nevada to act as a QI; no license number on the pages cited)

Who it is for

National Reno QI for exchangers who want Allied 1031 Exchange — a Nevada-licensed QI since 2006 — to hold proceeds in a unique FDIC-insured individual account at an unnamed publicly traded bank, with a published $1 million per-occurrence fidelity bond and a named CES® president. Public brand: Allied 1031 Exchange. An LLC / Inc. suffix is not printed on the Home, Why Allied, or Things to Know pages opened 2026-09-14; do not invent one. Office: 190 W. Huffaker Ln., Ste. 408, Reno, NV 89511. Phone (888) 738-1031. Things to Know: delayed, reverse (Allied temporarily holds the purchased property in their LLC), simultaneous, and build-to-suit. In-house attorney is claimed without a name. DST is not on the pages cited.

Verdict

Reno QI with a usable custody sentence: unique FDIC-insured individual / segregated accounts at a publicly traded FDIC bank (unnamed), a published $1 million per-occurrence fidelity bond, Nevada licensed-and-bonded-as-QI language, company FEA, and Geneva Martinkus CES®. Things to Know also publishes reverse and build-to-suit. That is enough to list. Lloyd’s professional-liability dollars, the attorney’s name, dual-signature wires, a named deposit bank, a fee card, an LLC suffix, and DST are not on the pages opened. Ask for today’s certificates, the live account title, and who can release the wire before a large transfer.

Notes

This is a QI custody file, not a securities offering. The public brand on the Home, Why Allied, and Things to Know pages is Allied 1031 Exchange. An LLC or Inc. suffix is not printed on those pages (accessed 2026-09-14) and is not invented here. Allied 1031 Exchange 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 pages opened for this file do not publish a DST desk.

Why Allied: providing 1031 exchange services since 2006; national qualified intermediary; member of the FEA; fully bonded and insured. That FEA line is a company claim. Same page: in-house CES, attorney, and FEA affiliations. The CES is named: Geneva Martinkus, President, Certified Exchange Specialist. The in-house attorney is not named.

Home FAQ (“Can I be confident that my money is secure”): Allied 1031 Exchange is licensed and bonded with the state of Nevada to act as a qualified intermediary; fidelity bond of one million dollars per occurrence; funds deposited into segregated accounts with a publicly traded FDIC-insured bank; professional liability policy with underwriters at Lloyd’s London available for inspection on request. Why Allied: a unique FDIC-insured individual account for each customer. The bank is not named. Dual-signature / QEA wire control is not on the pages cited. Lloyd’s coverage has no published dollar amount.

Things to Know publishes delayed, reverse (buy replacement first; Allied temporarily holds the purchased property in their LLC), simultaneous, and build-to-suit / improvement. Reverse and improvement are therefore yes.

Office: 190 W. Huffaker Ln., Ste. 408, Reno, NV 89511. Phone (888) 738-1031.

No public fee card, float sentence, or DST desk on the pages cited. Why Allied’s “thousands of exchanges” line is firm marketing, not a rating. Ask Allied 1031 Exchange for today’s bond and Lloyd’s certificates, the live account title, whether a second signature is required to move funds, and who can release the wire — then read those papers, not this summary.
