Exeter1031™ Continues to Expand National Footprint with its New Houston Location
Houston, Texas – June 15, 2026 – Exeter 1031 Exchange Services, LLC (Exeter1031™) announced today the opening of its Texas Regional Office, located at 11740 Katy Freeway, 17th Floor, Houston, Texas 77079. The expansion marks a significant milestone in Exeter1031™’s continued national growth strategy and establishes a dedicated regional presence to serve real estate investors and their legal, tax, and financial advisors throughout the great state of Texas. The office can be reached directly at (281) 810-9600.
The Texas Regional Office will provide the same comprehensive forward, reverse, improvement (“build-to-suit” or “construction”), leasehold improvement, partnership installment notes (PINs) or QI Notes, foreign property, and zero-equity 1031 exchange services and strategies that Exeter1031™ delivers to individual, corporate, and institutional clients nationwide, including the cities of Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso, and surrounding communities throughout the great state of Texas. Each transaction is supported by Exeter1031™’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding client funds through separate, segregated, dual-signature, restricted qualified trust accounts held at Exeter Trust Company.
Exeter1031™ continues to operate as one of the safest and most secure qualified intermediaries in the industry today. Distinguishing itself from competitors, Exeter1031™ is one of the few qualified intermediaries that has any kind of regulatory oversight. This critical compliance framework is powered by its affiliate, Exeter Trust Company (ExeterTrust™), a prominent trust institution that is fully licensed, regulated, and routinely audited by the Wyoming Division of Banking. Exeter Trust Company undergoes three independent audits annually: a regulatory examination by the Wyoming Division of Banking, a financial statement audit by a certified public accounting firm, and a procedural audit by a certified public accounting firm.
This exceptional regulatory oversight establishes a strong foundation of financial safety, rigorous compliance, and unwavering reliability. The Exeter Group of Companies further strengthens client protections through $15.0 million in fidelity bond insurance, $10.0 million in errors and omissions insurance, $15.0 million in a financial institution blanket bond, $15.0 million in cyber and wire fraud insurance coverage, and in excess of $8.0 million in equity capital reserves — well above the minimum requirements set by its regulators.
Whether clients require assistance with a straightforward real property 1031 exchange or are conducting due diligence for an institutional transaction, the new Texas Regional Office ensures that all client funds and documentation are handled with the highest level of institutional care and expertise.
“We are thrilled to establish a dedicated presence in Houston and across the great state of Texas,” said William L. Exeter, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Exeter 1031 Exchange Services, LLC. “Texas continues to be one of the most dynamic and resilient real estate markets in the country, with a metro population in Houston alone exceeding 7.5 million people and consistent demand across industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. Texas investors and their advisors deserve direct access to a qualified intermediary they can trust completely—one with a CEO that brings not only 42 years of experience and expertise and more than 125,000 completed exchanges, but also the financial strength and institutional-grade security that Exeter1031™ is known for.”
Maureen H. Brown, President and Chief Operating Officer, Exeter 1031 Exchange Services, LLC, stated “What truly distinguishes Exeter1031™ in the marketplace is our unwavering commitment to the security of our clients’ funds. We are one of the few qualified intermediaries in the country with any form of regulatory oversight. Our affiliate, Exeter Trust Company, is licensed, regulated, and audited by the Wyoming Division of Banking—and that distinction matters enormously when investors are entrusting us with significant exchange proceeds. Texas investors can be confident that their funds are protected by one of the most financially sound and rigorously overseen qualified intermediaries in the industry. We look forward to providing the secure, expert, and personally attentive service that has defined Exeter1031™ for over two decades.”
