I cannot recommend Corcapa or Rob Babcock highly enough. I was very much a beginner when my parents asked for my help in looking into 1031 exchanges. I had read some online posts and tried to educate myself with other resources but didn't truly understand all the rules and opportunities until I started working with Rob. He ALWAYS answered all of my questions in a humble and clear manner. He was the best kind of expert...he provided expertise openly, consistently and at any time of the day or week. When something was out of his scope, for example particular CA state tax implications for my parents, he quickly identified another expert and connected me to someone who handily answered my questions. All of my discussions with Rob made me comfortable in the major undertaking of setting up $1 million of my parents' assets in a Delaware Statutory Trust. I cannot overstate how confident I felt with Rob in my corner. When I began working with Rob, I let him know that I usually prefer working with women because of my intolerance for "mansplaining". I love that he made it clear he knew exactly what I was talking about and he never fell into this behavior with me. On another note, Rob never pressured me and always made me feel like I had plenty of time to complete the 1031 exchange. Once my parents' property was sold, the DSTs were completed in less than two weeks. I couldn't have worked with a better professional for my 1031/DST needs.

After 20+ years in hospitality, we decided to sell some of our properties with the goal of moving to a less hands-on business model. I was somewhat familiar with the 1031 Exchange process, but knew I needed guidance to fully understanding our options, the process and benefits. Rob quickly became a valued advisor, guiding us through the nuances of this process and ensuring we made the right decisions for us and our business. Rob invested a lot of time in our education to make sure we fully grasped the options. We have two of three more real estate transaction in the next 18 months and Rob and Corcapa will be the first call we make. We are glad we found business partners for the long term.

– Investor in Cupertino, CA

General information was provided well ahead of the need to make an investment decision which helped understand the opportunities when we were ready to make an exchange. I had several questions related directly to the kind of investment we planned to make. Rob was able to answer questions and point me toward unbiased reports regarding the investment under consideration.
