Our Certified Exchange Specialists®

To increase the professionalism of the exchange industry and foster public confidence when selecting an exchange accommodator, the Federation of Exchange Accommodators administers a Certification and Continuing Education Program. The Program bestows the designation of Certified Exchange Specialist® (CES®) upon those professional individuals who meet specific work-experience criteria and pass an exam on exchange laws and procedures.  The exam also covers knowledge of exchange rules, ethics and control of exchange funds.   

A CES® designation demonstrates to a property owner considering an exchange that the professional they have chosen possesses a certain level of experience and knowledge. Just as when one selects an accountant or REALTOR®, it's important to review the credentials of any professional advisor prior to beginning a business relationship.
