About Pertria
Real estate decisions have evolved beyond simply seeking a home in a good location. Continuous change and uncertainty make it more important than ever to consider real estate strategically—as an investment, financial strategy, and as satisfying our emotional need for having a place to call home. Although there are vast amounts of data available for decision-making, it is only helpful within the context of an individual's unique circumstances, goals, and resources.
Pertria is a collaboration of select professionals working in concert to interpret data and provide clients with expert guidance and exquisite care. Whether investing in a home, capitalizing on an emerging opportunity, or mitigating unseen risks, we deliver integrated real estate solutions based on solid financial practices, fiscal responsibility, and long-term planning.

First American Exchange CompanySelling an investment property or a share in investment real estate can incur capital gains taxes. Tax-deferred exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code allow investors to dispose of investment properties and acquire "like-kind" properties while deferring federal capital gains taxes and depreciation recapture. As a Senior Exchange Officer at First American Exchange Company, Claudia Solis offers Pertria clients the credentialed expertise needed to segregate and hold exchange funds throughout a property exchange. Pertria investment clients have successfully deferred millions of dollars in taxes that they otherwise would have been liable for through the use of 1031 Exchange instruments.
