You are putting exchange equity and a 45-day clock in someone’s hands. You should know whose. Shop 1031 is run by three principals: a licensed broker of record, a brokerage partner on the sell side, and the architect of the platform. The research desk and the outreach identity are tools the principals operate; the judgment and the license sit with the people below.
Broker of record · Principal
Licensed California real estate broker (DRE #01983729) at Arbor Realty Capital Advisors, Inc. (DRE #01980430). Broker of record for the affiliated brokerage services routed through The 1031 Experts, and the principal accountable for the platform’s underwriting posture.
Brokerage partner · Arbor RCA

Platform & data architecture · Principal
Founder of Deckora and an equal partner in Shop 1031. Leads the platform and data architecture: the normalization layer, the interactive offering-memorandum rendering, and the engineering behind the scored universe.
Shop 1031 also works with a network of third-party advisors, RIAs, CPAs, attorneys, qualified intermediaries, and vetted brokers, who join the platform over time. See the advisor network, and the partner program for fiduciaries who license the underwriting stack.
