I once brought in a commercial broker to assist in one deal but it wasn't his expertise I wanted, he thought it was, but it was really his contacts in the city involved and I needed them to smooth out getting the project off the ground. 

I did the VA streamline in 2011 and it went pretty smooth for me, with the VA IRRL refinance program there wasn't a requirement to be below 80% LTV.

As far as the 1031, things are moving smoothly. 

I have a real estate friend who has my back, so I am sure things will run smoothly.

Do a no-nonsense deal with a broker and close smoothly and quickly.
