Client Testimonials

We are proud to share some of the things people have said about us:

"You did a great job and made the transaction go very smoothly and efficiently. Thanks for your help and will definitely use you again if needed."

Debbie W., Atlantic, IA 4/7/10

"Iowa Equity Exchange has an excellent working knowledge of the 1031 Exchange process. What separates them from other intermediaries with whom I spoke is the full-service support they provide. From the first phone conversation prior to engaging his services to the follow-up over a month after the Exchange was complete, Ken always provided support that went far beyond simply executing the 1031 paperwork. When you have the opportunity to work with Ken on your exchange, you will realize that the high quality of advice and support that he provides is the same whether you are a customer or a member of his own family. Thank you for all of your assistance...I sincerely appreciate all of your personal advice and suggestions that went beyond the actual 1031 Exchange. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with you."

Paul B., Nebraska 3/22/10

"Very organized, neat and professional. You were just a phone call away for all our questions and concerns about the 1031 process. All phone calls were returned and questions answered. We...would recommend you to others."

Niles and Vickie J., Chandler, AZ 8/14/09

"I am so glad I decided to work with you on these exchanges. I just want to let you know that everyone who has been involved and in contact with you has expressed excessively how nice you are to explain everything to them as the process progresses and how patient you have been with all of us who are ignorant of this business. You have made this so easy for everyone involved. Thank you from the depths of my heart. With all of my hysteria about the whole sale transaction, you have been the one smooth factor I could count on."

Lora J., North Liberty, IA 8/6/09

Howard S., Pleasant Hill, Iowa, 12/5/08

"I contacted three 1031 exchange companies before selecting Iowa Equity Exchange for my 1031 exchange. Ken Tharp seemed to be the most knowledgeable person and was willing to answer all of the questions that I had about 1031 exchanges. The 1031 exchange went smoothly following the guidance provided by Ken Tharp of Iowa Equity Exchange."

Max P., Stanton, Iowa, 6/6/08

"I first worked with Ken in 2007 after meeting him online. As a real estate agent and auctioneer serving my clients' needs well is important to me. Ken spent hours on the phone with me taking the mystery out of 1031 exchanges and putting them in EASY to understand terms. I refer ALL of my 1031 exchange clients to Ken because he has taken EXCELLENT care of every client I have ever sent him. He is in my opinion the best in the business. He makes it so easy."

Jason Smith, Land Specialist and Auctioneer, http://www.gowithjason.com/

Ken's ability to give direction on where our clients need to head financially with property exchanges is an asset that we are very proud to offer at LandAndGame.com.

In short, if you're an active investor in farm ground, hunting land with income, or duplexes and apartments, your time spent with Ken will pay dividends exponentially in your property portfolio."
