Brett Swarts is considered one of the most well-rounded Capital Gains Tax Deferral Experts and informative speakers on the west coast. His audiences are challenged to create and develop a tax-deferred transformational exit wealth plan using The Deferred Sales Trust™ (“DST”)  so they can create and preserve more wealth.

Each year, he equips hundreds of high net worth business professionals with the DST tool to help their high net worth clients solve capital gains tax deferral limitations.


Mr. Swarts is passionate about educating high net worth individuals in capital gains tax deferral with a Deferred Sales Trust, how to divest from a business, cryptocurrency, highly appreciated stock, primary residence or investment real estate to gain freedom from feeling hostage to capital gains tax or a 1031 exchange, then invest back into a new business venture or investment real estate at any time [all capital gains tax deferred] which he calls optimal timing.


His experience includes numerous Deferred Sales Trusts, Delaware Statutory Trusts, 1031 exchanges and $190,000,000 in closed commercial real estate brokerage and Deferred Sales Trust transactions. He’s an active commercial real estate broker and investor with brokerage experience and ownership in multifamily, senior housing, retail, medical office, and mixed-use properties.
