Amanda established Crawford 1031 Advisors in 2018 after recognizing the need for expert due diligence and the proper vetting of alternative investments in the financial services industry. She established Crawford 1031 with an exclusive focus on securitized tax advantaged real estate and private placement offerings, serving as a resource for wealth planners, real estate developers, investment property owners and those looking to grow their income property portfolios.

Utilizing 1031 DST replacement properties and qualified opportunity zone funds as strategies for tax deferral, wealth preservation, and an alternative asset hedge against traditional investments, Amanda and her team have deep relationships with the nation’s top real estate sponsors and have successfully helped clients exchange into effective real estate suitable to their estate planning needs. The firm’s exclusive focus has allowed clients to have a wide range of offerings available for tax-deferred real estate as well as extensive due diligence and research in the securitized marketplace.
