Experience. Confidence. Independence.
As the Director of Strategic Initiatives at Unisys Corporation, John Maggi saw the need for independent entities to help companies and individuals better address financial and operational needs. Originally focused on tax-advantaged transactions for clients of a few major U.S. Banks, Congress Asset Exchange's predecessor company, Congress Exchange, established itself as an innovator for 1031 exchange transactions.
Today, Congress Asset Exchange has expanded the breadth of its offerings to include a variety of Special Purpose Entity services, providing clients with expanded strategies and purpose for both large and small companies and individuals.
Congress Asset Exchange has handled individual transactions over $200 Million as well as those for $100,000. We value ongoing relationships with our clients and servicing their needs now and into the future. Indeed, many of our transactions have lives of many years.
We also have strategic relationships with financial institutions, lenders, and other financial, legal, accounting, and real estate professionals - this allows us to present truly unique strategies and opportunities to our clients serving a variety of needs - including their financial, tax, operational, and risk management objectives.
All of our SPEs are properly structured, confidential, independent, and have low overhead requirements to deliver maximum value to our clients. We also coordinate with all necessary client resources and professionals to deliver a seamless solution to the client.
