Certified Exchange Specialist
After a few years of discussion and planning, the Federation of Exchange Accommodators, the professional organization of 1031 exchange facilitators, is kicking off its new certification program. The first certification exam is scheduled for two months from now, on May 16 in Washington, DC. There will be 120 multiple choice questions in a two and a half hour testing period. You can see more details and download an application for the exam on their new special website.
I've already asked Sherry if she is interested in taking the test and she answered just as I had expected. She hates tests and since her business is already very well established, she doesn't see the need for some new letters after her name.
While I have always done very well in tests (acing the CPA on my first try), I doubt that I will be taking it. I already have more credentials than can fit on my letterhead and more work than I can possibly keep up with. However, there is an exam scheduled for October 2 in Las Vegas, a place neither of us has been to; so anything is possible.
