“The FEA’s Government Affairs Committee is pleased to recognize Dan for his effectiveness in connecting the FEA to other real estate organizations in building our coalition to defend Section 1031 over the last nine years,” said Craig Brown, president of the FEA. “He has worked continuously and tirelessly to provide support, education and build lasting partnerships in the 1031 industry.”
In his capacity as Senior Vice President – Government Relations, Mr. Wagner serves on numerous real estate industry and governmental boards and committees. He was also part of the Real Estate Roundtable’s 1031 Like-Kind Exchange Coalition, which advocates for the preservation of the 1031 like-kind exchange in Federal tax law.
“I am honored to be recognized by the FEA for my work in educating our elected officials as to the importance of Section 1031,” stated Mr. Wagner. “For more than 100 years, Section 1031 like-kind exchanges have been a powerful tool in the U.S. tax code, grounded in sound tax policy that generates broad economic and environmental benefits.”
“In every Congress, regardless of party, they look to make changes in the tax code – often to Section 1031,” said John Wunderlich, president of IPX 1031. “The educational process around the 1031 never ends, and Dan’s partnership with our organization is invaluable as we prepare for the next election cycle.”
The FEA is recognized as the industry leader and standard setter for the exchange industry. Its mission is to educate consumers, provide resources to members, network with other professionals related to 1031 activities, and drive legislation for consumer/industry safety.
