How We Work

Founded in 1989, CDEC is one of the oldest and most experienced firms in the industry. CDEC has successfully facilitated over 75,000 exchanges for individuals, partnerships, and corporations across the country, touching every sector of real estate.

A separate Qualified Trust account is created for every client on every transaction. Funds held in trust, for the benefit of our clients, are segregated from creditors’ claims by operation of law.

CDEC uses only professionally managed, highly liquid institutional money market funds rated AA or better, and all interest accrues to our clients' accounts.
