Longer days have a way of making people pause and take stock of where they’re headed. ☀️

Summer isn’t just a season for slowing down. It can also be a season for growth, reflection, reinvention, and investing in the version of yourself you’re still becoming.

Here’s to chasing what “might be.”

In observance of Memorial Day, Banker Exchange will be closed Monday, May 25.

We’ll reopen Tuesday, May 26 and be ready to assist with all your 1031 exchange needs.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful holiday.

The Mid-Year Federation of Exchange Accommodators Conference is where the 1031 exchange industry comes together to learn, challenge ideas, share perspectives, and prepare for what’s next.

After recently attending the conference for the third year in a row, Senior Exchange Coordinator, Jamie Kingdom, CES, reflected on what keeps bringing her back, the relationships built along the way, and why spaces like this matter in an industry that’s constantly evolving.

Read her experiences here:

We weren’t just explaining what 1031 exchanges are; we were sharing why they matter and why it’s important to continue advocating for them, even when they’re not under immediate threat. Most of the delegates we met had some familiarity with 1031s, and many were supportive.

Nineteen years. ✨

For nearly two decades, Shonna Felkel has been a steady hand, a trusted voice, and an irreplaceable part of the Banker Exchange story. Calm under pressure, endlessly dedicated, and deeply respected by everyone lucky enough to work alongside her, Shonna brings a quiet kind of leadership that leaves a lasting mark on both our team and our clients.

The truth is… it’s hard to picture Banker Exchange without picturing Shonna. 💚

Thank you, Shonna, for 19 years of wisdom, loyalty, grace, and excellence. We are incredibly grateful for you and all you’ve poured into this organization over the years. Here’s to celebrating a remarkable milestone and the person behind it.

There’s something special about working in an industry built on deadlines, details, and high-stakes transactions… and still managing to make people feel genuinely taken care of along the way.

Messages like this from local partners mean a lot to our team. 💚

At Banker Exchange, we work hard to make the 1031 exchange process feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more human. From first phone call to final closing, we’re grateful for every client, advisor, attorney, CPA, and real estate professional who trusts us to be part of the journey.

And to Mathew… thank you for the kind words. We appreciate you too.

The IRS recently announced disaster-related 1031 exchange deadline postponements for taxpayers affected by recent storms and flooding in Tennessee, Hawaii, and Mississippi.

Current general postponement dates include:

📍 Tennessee (all 95 counties)
New deadline: May 22, 2026

📍 Mississippi (all 82 counties)
New deadline: June 8, 2026

📍 Hawaii (Hawaii, Honolulu, Kauai & Maui counties)
New deadline: July 8, 2026

These postponements may impact both 45-day identification periods and 180-day exchange completion deadlines for qualifying taxpayers.

As always, disaster-related tax relief rules can be nuanced, so we strongly encourage exchangors to speak with their CPA, attorney, and Qualified Intermediary about how these extensions may apply to their situation.
