Why "the big sale tax guy"
Hans Goldstein · Los Angeles, California
The same call kept coming in from brokers: the buyer is ready, the price is right, and the seller will not sign because of the tax. Almost every time, the seller was looking at one number, the tax on a cash sale in a single year, and nobody had shown them the alternatives side by side.
So Hans built the side by side. He models seller financing and Section 453 installment sales against 1031 exchanges, Opportunity Zones, trusts and the rest, with the same tax engine, so the seller sees each path in dollars. Brokers started calling him the big sale tax guy, and the name stuck.
Big Sale Tax is the dedicated home for that work: Hans Goldstein: Tax & Exit Planning, an independent practice focused on one moment, the months before a big sale closes. The library of 67 tax tool analyses on this site is part of it: honest write-ups of every tool sellers ask about, including the ones the IRS has listed.
