Day-1: Engage the developer with your Realtor. Purchasing a preconstruction or new construction condominium is significantly different than the traditional purchase of a home. Condominium developers incorporate specialized Realtors “Preferred Buyer Agents” into their sales and marketing to represent upcoming and under-construction projects to the marketplace. For their involvement, Preferred Buyer Agents are compensated by the developer, not the buyer.

Even more importantly for buyers to know is, if a potential buyer does not designate a specific Realtor by name upon first engagement with the developer’s website, digital ads, or sales office, they, likely unknowingly, forgo the opportunity to have a Realtor represent them should they decide to purchase.
If you decide to engage the developer on your own and do not wish to forgo future representation by a Realtor, please designate me, Scott A. Lepper, Real Broker, as your Realtor.

Some people are surprised at how many grey areas there are when structuring an exchange. There are some important rules, which are generally clear, however it’s important to pay attention because a mistake can ruin your exchange. Here’s what NOT to do:
MISS THE 45-DAY IDENTIFICATION DEADLINE
Once you close on your relinquished property, you have 45 days to identify in writing what you intend to acquire in the exchange.
FAIL TO CLEARLY IDENTIFY WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO BUY
You must identify it unambiguously. That generally means using a legal description or street address. If you are going to acquire a tenancy-in-common interest in the property, you should try to identify as closely as possible the percentage interest you will be acquiring.
MISS THE 180-DAY DEADLINE
Another crucial deadline is the 180-day exchange period. This rule states that you must acquire (close, or transfer) all replacement property(ies) by the 180th day. If the relinquished property closes escrow towards end of a tax year such that the 180th day falls after your tax filing date of the following year, you’ll need to complete your 1031 Exchange before filing your income tax return, or request an extension.
CLOSE BEFORE YOU SIGN EXCHANGE DOCUMENTS
Initially, exchanges could only be accomplished by two people simultaneously swapping properties. Eventually, the deferred exchange rules permitted taxpayers to use a qualified intermediary, such as First American Exchange Company, to act as an accommodator. The rules convert what looks like a sale followed by a purchase into an exchange. A basic requirement of this process is that an Exchange Agreement and Assignment Agreement must be signed by the taxpayer before the date the relinquished property closes escrow. In addition, the taxpayer must notify the buyer the contract has been assigned to a qualified Intermediary. The qualified intermediary will also be assigned into the replacement property contract, thus allowing the funds to be transferred within the “safe harbors”.
TAKE POSSESSION OF YOUR EXCHANGE FUNDS
Another important rule for a successful 1031 Exchange states that the taxpayer cannot have possession, or control, of the proceeds from the sale of the relinquished property. Upon closing of the relinquished property, the escrow holder will transfer the funds directly to First American Exchange Company, thus keeping the taxpayer from having receipt of the funds. One of the reasons it is so important to choose an intermediary
wisely is that they hold the proceeds of your sale until you are ready to acquire the replacement property. First American holds these funds only in FDICinsured bank accounts, and we never invest them in securities. Furthermore, funds are invested in a segregated account specific to the taxpayer’s tax ID number.
Paying attention to these important issues will eliminate most reasons that exchanges can fail. When you are ready to open an exchange or have questions, call us at First American Exchange.

Attorney Shannon McLin, Founder of Florida Appeals Announces Name Change to her Maiden Name, McLin
Attorney Shannon McLin founder of Florida Appeals, recently announced a change back to her maiden name — McLin. With an established career and reputation spanning almost 30 years, this change reflects not only her plans for the future but also pays tribute to her family’s history. Pronounced “MACK’-Lin,” the name has inspired the use of the phrase “The Mack is back” among Shannon and her friends and colleagues.
Shannon founded The Carlyle Appellate Law Firm in 1997 which her then-husband Chris joined in 2004. The firm grew to seven lawyers with three offices across Florida. Following their dissolution of marriage in 2017, Shannon and Chris continued as law partners and Shannon maintained her married name. In 2019, Shannon left the firm and founded Florida Appeals, a boutique firm offering appellate representation and trial support to trial lawyers and their clients throughout Florida. Because the firm was new, Shannon continued to maintain the name Carlyle, believing it was important
for colleagues and clients to know she was the same attorney with a new appellate firm.
“The MACK is back. ”
With Florida Appeals now well established and with the full support of her three children, Shannon decided to go back to using the McLin name professionally. This change is rooted in enormous pride for her family’s history. Shannon is a fifth-generation Florida McLin, with her father, Walter S. “Buddy” McLin III of McLin Burnsed, being a well-regarded Florida attorney for nearly 50 years. Shannon owes a large part of her success to her father who was known for his honesty and integrity, believing your word is your stock in trade. For Shannon, the McLin name represents the ethics, character, and values inspired by her father. Aside from her father’s legal profession, the McLin name has a long history in Florida stemming from her great, great, great grandfather Benjamin Earnest McLin, who began as a citrus farmer in Lake County and when the Great Freeze of
1898 destroyed his livelihood, he ran for and was elected Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture, a position he held until his death in 1912.
Shannon McLin and the Florida Appeals team are excited for a new chapter in their firm’s story — a story that now more clearly connects the firm to Shannon McLin’s deep roots in Florida’s history.

If you decide to engage the developer on your own and do not wish to forgo future representation by a Realtor, please designate me, Scott A. Lepper, Real Broker, as your Realtor.

FLORIDA’S AVIATION LIFESTYLE & TRAVEL GUIDE
Cirrus Announces SR Series G7+ Featuring Safe ReturnTM Emergency Autoland
The Cirrus SR Series G7+ is the world’s first single-engine piston aircraft equipped with an FAA-approved autonomous emergency landing system
• The Cirrus SR Series is the world’s best-selling high-performance single-engine piston aircraft, known for its innovation, safety and performance, and over 10,000 aircraft have been delivered since 1999.
• Today, Cirrus introduced the newest SR Series model, the SR Series G7+ featuring Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland as standard equipment.
• In an emergency situation, anyone in the cabin can easily activate Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland with a push of a button to activate the system and initiate a safe, autonomous landing.
• Once activated, Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland uses advanced algorithms and sensors to autonomously fly to the nearest suitable airport, notify air traffic control, communicate with passengers, navigate terrain, obstacles and weather, and then safely land the aircraft, bringing it to a full stop and shutting down the engine.
• The SR Series G7+ also adds new features: Automatic Database Updates powered by Cirrus IQ PRO™, Runway Occupancy Awareness and Smart Pitot Heat.
• Cirrus is currently delivering the SR Series G7+ with Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland.
Cirrus today announced the new SR Series G7+ featuring Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland by Garmin®, the world’s first FAA-approved autonomous emergency landing system in a singleengine piston aircraft. With the integration of this technology, anyone in the cabin can activate Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland with the touch of a button in the event of an emergency, commanding the aircraft to navigate to a suitable nearby airport and land autonomously. This advancement in aviation safety provides pilots and passengers of the world’s best-selling high-performance singleengine piston aircraft with an automated emergency landing option in the event of pilot incapacitation or a similar in-flight emergency. Cirrus is currently delivering the SR Series G7+ with Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland.
SAFE RETURN™ EMERGENCY AUTOLAND
The Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland system uses a combination of advanced sensors, sophisticated algorithms and automated flight control systems to enable the aircraft to autonomously land safely without pilot input. With a single push of a button, the system takes control of the aircraft, communicates with air traffic control, navigates to the nearest suitable airport while avoiding terrain and adverse weather, autonomously lands the aircraft bringing it to a complete stop, shuts down the engine and stops the propeller so that passengers can exit the aircraft safely.
SAFE RETURN™ EMERGENCY AUTOLAND ACTIVATION:
• Straightforward Activation: In the event of an emergency, the pilot or passengers can activate the system with a simple push of a button, which is centrally positioned in the aircraft’s cabin ceiling, initiating Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland.
• Advanced Algorithms: The system is powered by sophisticated onboard sensors and algorithms that adapt to changing conditions and enable navigation through the airspace, calculate runway parameters, and detect real-time weather and terrain.
• Fully Automated Flight Control: Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland autonomously controls the autopilot and engine to fly the aircraft and execute a safe landing sequence.
• Air Traffic Control: The system continuously communicates with air traffic control during the flight and automatically switches to different frequencies as the aircraft travels to the most suitable airport.
• Passenger Experience: Passengers are kept informed with straightforward information on the flight displays, including airport destination, arrival time, and remaining fuel. Next steps are also clearly communicated over headsets. Passengers can press the “Talk” button on the flight display to speak directly to air traffic control.
Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland can be activated both manually and automatically. Anyone in the cabin can activate Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland at the press of a button. If a pilot is alone or those in the cabin are unable to activate it manually, Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland is designed to activate automatically if the system determines that the pilot is flying erratically or is unresponsive. Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland can be disconnected by pressing the autopilot disconnect button at any time the pilot decides.
ADDITIONAL SR SERIES G7+ FEATURES
With the SR Series G7+, Automatic Database Updates powered by Cirrus IQ PRO™ are now available through a subscription in the Cirrus IQ™ app for connected aircraft owners. Automatic Database Updates allow owners to receive automatic avionics database updates via Wi-Fi or LTE to ensure the most current and accurate data for navigation. These updates can occur while the aircraft is powered off and the owner is away from the aircraft. When the aircraft is powered up, essential databases are automatically synchronized across compatible avionics.
Runway Occupancy Awareness leverages ADS-B traffic data to predict and alert pilots of potential runway incursions from nearby airborne aircraft or other aircraft on or approaching the runway. Visual and aural alerts are provided on the pilot’s primary flight display and 3D SafeTaxi™ map to maximize situational awareness, a safety feature that is especially useful at busy airports.
Smart Pitot Heat is enabled by systems integration through Perspective Touch+™ to reduce pilot workload and automate the flying experience. The system performs a self-test before every flight and automatically turns on or off in flight depending on outside air temperatures, making it one less system to manage.
