My wife Angela, who is an Ocean Springs Teacher, and our 4 grown children have experienced most everything the coast has to offer. We have made some great memories here. So will you.

Throughout my entire professional career, I have had the experience of purchasing a few different houses. Recently, my family decided to purchase a larger residential property. In making a large financial decision, we wanted to work with someone that we could trust. We spoke to a variety of different realtors; none of which seemed to understand our requirements, until we met Steve Freeman. Steve has been there every step of the way. He answers every call or email no matter what time of day or night. His professionalism, knowledge, experience, dedication, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. At no point during this process did we ever feel that Steve was trying to pressure a deal, but that he was a mentor to answer our questions and help us to make the best decision. Steve Freeman is more than a consummate professional realtor; he's a genuine friend and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is searching for a new home. Thanks again Steve, for being such a pleasure to work with.

I've worked with Steve on a variety of projects and purchases for more than 25 years. He is nothing short of stellar. His integrity is above reproach. His attention to detail is maniacal. His focus on serving and protecting his customers' interests is unmatched by anyone I know in the industry. He is also a very very nice guy.

Optimize your 1031 with a “tax straddle”

We know that one of the rules of a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange is you have 180 days after the closing of your "relinquished property" to close on the purchase of your "replacement property". Doing so, allows you to defer capital gains tax on the profits from the sale. But, if you can not close in 180 days then capital gains tax is due. What happens if those 180 days pass from one year to the next? When the 180 days "straddles" two years, in which tax year is the capital gains tax due?What ar...
