Real Estate Transition Trust
A tax-aware alternative to bring your client when the 1031 doesn’t fit — handled end to end, with you in the loop. $10,000 paid to you per closed deal.
Run Your Client’s Numbers
What a Referral Is Worth
Your client’s tax as-is, what RETT™ is projected to save them — and what the introduction pays you.
Private — nothing is sent, stored, or shared.
Leave at 0 if the property is paid off.
A high-level projection, not tax, legal, or investment advice — figures assume a ~24% long-term capital-gains rate and estimated program costs; your client’s result is confirmed in their complimentary analysis.

How the RETT™ Works
The Real Estate Transition Trust
A tailored trust structure with an insurance-wrapped payment stream, engineered to help mitigate tax exposure on appreciated real estate while keeping you in control of what comes next.
The arithmetic is what makes the call: a client selling at $3 million with $2 million of gain is looking at roughly $476,000 in federal capital-gains tax alone — before their state takes a share. That conversation is coming to you either way.
Tax-Efficient Sale
IRC §453 installment sale with insurance support to help manage capital gains and stabilize payments.
Tax-Aware Investment Strategy
Proceeds invested in a tax-aware institutional strategy managed by a $1T+ global asset manager, keeping capital productive outside real estate.
Asset Protection & Privacy
South Dakota trust for strong privacy and asset protection.
What You Tell Your Client
RETT™ vs. Other Approaches
When the 1031 doesn’t fit and the client doesn’t want to keep buying real estate, this is the conversation. A 1031 lets your client trade real estate for more real estate. RETT lets your client trade for anything they want.

Who To Send Us
Which clients to refer — and which not
We would rather you know the fit now than spend your credibility on an introduction that goes nowhere.
Refer them
- A planned or upcoming sale of investment or commercial real estate
- At least $1,000,000 in capital gains — ideally a $3,000,000+ sale price
- They don’t need every dollar of the proceeds at closing
Not a fit
- Under $1,000,000 of capital gain — the planning cost outweighs the benefit
- They need the full proceeds in hand at closing
- The sale is primarily paying off debt

Who’s Behind It
An Integrated Multi-Family Office
RETT™ is delivered through BrookHaven, a multi-family office that coordinates wealth management, tax, legal, insurance, and trustee services under one roof. The strategy isn’t a product. It’s a coordinated outcome.
