Moore works with individuals, businesses and their tax professionals to develop strategic plans that achieve maximum tax advantage. Moore’s extensive experience in capital gains planning, 1031 exchanges, tax planning for real estate developers, and estate tax minimization translates to substantial and significant savings for his clients. As an acknowledged expert in the practice of 1031 exchanges, Moore is a frequently requested speaker on the topic and has been retained as an expert witness on many occasions.

Moore is equally adept at developing effective asset protection plans. Moore works with individuals and businesses of all sizes to identify all current and potential risks, and then put into place the legal safeguard that matches the problem. This tailored approach ensures that an adequate level of protection is put into place and that all assets are effectively protected.

Moore was recently selected as President of the Federation of Exchange Accommodators, the national trade association for 1031 exchange intermediaries.  Moore was selected as a result of his dedication to the 1031 industry and the FEA, which is evidenced by the fact that he formed three committees within the FEA (the Small Business Resource Forum, the Affiliates Committee and the Strategic Alliances Committee).

Moore brings tremendous value to his clients by assisting them with the creation of self-directed IRAs to own investment real estate. In addition, Moore uses his influential connections to assist his clients in building wealth through life insurance products, including the sale of life insurance policies, as well as other wealth-building techniques.
