Fund handling

Current homepage and About reprint Washington’s qualified-intermediary statute (the site types RCW 19.1310.040; the enacted cite is RCW 19.310.040). That is a statute reprint — a menu of legally recognized security options — not a statement that this firm posts a $1 million bond or uses a qualified escrow. https://www.spe1031.com/Our-Services/Tax-guarantee/Security-Features returned 404 on 2026-09-08. Do not import dual-sign, bond, or FEA claims from memory of that dead page.

Who it is for

Independent QI founded in 1990 by Stephen L. Robison, J.D., LL.M., and Kathleen Robison. Primary office: 11353 Reed Hartman Highway, Suite 300, Cincinnati, OH 45241. Second office: 148 West River Street, Suite 1E, Providence, RI 02904. Phone 513-412-3481. Live site lists delayed, reverse, improvement & build-to-suit, and parking-arrangement exchanges. DST work is not on the pages cited.

Verdict

Live-site identity and exchange types are sourceable: 1990 Cincinnati QI, tax-attorney principal, reverse / improvement / parking on the current menu. Custody is not. The older Security Features URL 404s, the members footer is empty, and the firm’s own About page does not use the CES® mark. A Realized directory listing is a third-party lead, not a custody source. Ask in writing whose name and TIN sit on the account, who can wire, and what bond / E&O dollars apply. This is QI custody research, not a securities offering.

Notes

This is a QI custody file, not a securities offering. About says Steve Robison has been a tax attorney since 1986 and a qualified intermediary since 1990, and that he is an Ohio Board Certified Specialist in Federal Taxation Law. The firm’s own About copy does not use the CES® mark. The Realized profile lists him as CES®; that is a third-party listing, so cesOnStaff stays unknown.

The footer block labeled “We are proud members of:” was empty on the pages opened 2026-09-08. Company FEA stays unknown.

Do not treat Investopedia or other “best 1031” listicles as a rating this directory repeats.
