Real Estate comprises over 35% of the net worth of all individuals in this country. High net worth individuals are constantly seeking solutions to reduce their current income tax liability in addition to planning for long-term estate tax savings.

Today's seniors, as a population, are the wealthiest generation in our nation's history. It is anticipated that over the next twenty years, more wealth than ever is likely to pass from one generation to the next. Because the IRS taxes these individuals heavily, demand will be high and growth will be steady for experts in the field of real estate taxation.

What's more, technology has opened the door to online tax preparation, instigating a growing trend toward “do-it-yourself“ tax preparation by the individual.

In looking to the future, it makes sense to take note of the current trends and then move away from obsolete fields, while getting into position to take advantage of those with strong growth dynamics.

At RealTax we have chosen not to compete with online trends and focus instead on the challenging and lucrative field of real estate taxation. The complex and constantly changing real estate tax codes, coupled with high growth potential makes Real Estate Taxation the place to be now, and in the future.

It's a recognized fact that in nearly any business, specialists can command higher fees and enjoy more satisfying clients. Furthermore, in most professions, specialists are in much greater demand than their counterpart generalists. And nowhere is this more obvious than in real estate taxation, where hiring a specialist can save an individual or business many thousands of dollars each year, or even on each “transaction.“

Nevertheless, most CPAs, EAs, PAs, and other tax professionals ask questions before changing the way they do business. Here are some of the most common questions we hear from prospective RealTax Associates:

Q.Won't specializing limit my client base?
A. On the contrary! There is a large market for real estate investment clients who have a desperate need for a deeper level of real estate taxation expertise. Additionally, these potential clients are easy to identify and attract.

Q. Will I become vulnerable to real estate market cycles?
A. Not at all. In spite of real estate market fluctuations, real estate owners must file a tax return on their income each year, just like everyone else. Plus, as they near retirement, complex estate planning issues are unavoidable.

Q. When I sell my practice, will there be fewer buyers?
A. With an abundance of work and higher average billings, you will increase the value of your practice. The value you add to your practice with Real Estate Taxation will most likely draw more buyers, and command a higher price.

Q. What happens to my existing clients who are not real estate investors?
A. As accountants, we know that client relationships are key to our long-term success. As an independent sole proprietor, only you can decide how to service your existing client base. At RealTax, all clients are important, and the client-accountant relationship is given the utmost consideration.

Q. Will I be able to learn enough to be an expert in this area?
A. RealTax Associates work together as a team for the benefit of the client. As a result, fellow Associates are available for collaboration concerning your questions, and to answer client questions when you are unavailable. Your RealTax alliances will accelerate your learning curve, and be an asset to your practice.

Everyone is hearing about the changes in the accounting industry. You read about it in trade publications and you hear it at the seminars. The trend for sole practitioners is to specialize and build alliances to stay competitive and deliver a more comprehensive array of services.

“In order to stay on top of all these changes and to stay competitive many sole practitioners are beginning to affiliate with other local practitioners or are merging with other firms.”

“Some firms will choose to stay autonomous and compete from their strengths, while others believe that the current pace of consolidation would finally result in sixty percent of the accounting profession being consolidated.”
— CPA Journal
