Big Sale TaxHans Goldstein: Tax & Exit Planning
For brokers, CPAs and attorneys

Refer a deal that is stuck on taxes.

When a seller will not sign because of the tax bill, the deal stalls. Hans models every path, from seller financing to a 1031 with boot, so the seller sees what they keep.

Brokers

Close the deal, spread the tax.

The seller who says "the tax is too much" is usually looking at one giant year. Show them the same price paid over time with a secured note, or a 1031 with the boot handled, and the deal moves again.

Ask: if you take cash out, trade down or have a mortgage mismatch, what will the boot cost you?

CPAs

You stay the preparer.

Hans does not prepare returns. The analysis models the sale years, Social Security and IRMAA, suspended losses, Section 453A and state rules, then hands you the inputs, method and sources to verify.

Attorneys

Your documents, your client.

Structure and documents stay with you. The analysis shows the after-tax effect of each option, including note terms and security for seller financing, so the term sheet talk is about real numbers.

How to refer

Three ways, all quick.

  • Email: send a short referral with sale type, rough price, closing date and what is stuck. Share client details only with their OK.
  • Call: 213-414-2808 to talk it through first, no client name needed.
  • Book together: pick a 15-minute slot and bring the client, or come alone.
Disclosure: the $5,000 analysis fee is paid by the client, for analysis only. No referral fees are paid. Hans is also a licensed insurance producer with a separately owned insurance business. That business is not part of this engagement, and the analysis does not recommend insurance products.
