Bayview Saves 20 Percent of Quarterly Ad Spend with SiteCatalystdetails

Summary
Bayview Financial Exchange Services, LLC (Bayview) is a wholly owned subsidiary of one of the largest commercial real estate loan companies in the U.S., Bayview Financial, LP. Based in Coral Gables, Florida, the exchange services division was established in 2004 to handle special “1031” exchange transactions for clients who buy and sell business and investment real estate. Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 allows individuals who own business or investment property to defer capital gains taxes by purchasing a replacement business or investment property. To successfully exchange properties and defer taxes, a qualified intermediary must be used to facilitate the exchange and hold sale proceeds in between the sale and purchase. Bayview emerged as a new player in this niche market in early 2004.
