Julie Baird
[edit]Hi! I’m Julie Baird. I’m a former real estate law attorney. From 2020–2021 I served as President of the Federation of Exchange Accommodators (FEA), and I now serve on the FEA board/council and President at First American Exchange Company, LLC.
On Wikipedia
[edit]I mainly focus on improving coverage related to:
- U.S. real estate law and practice
- 1031 like-kind exchanges
- Trade and professional associations connected to the above
If you spot something I can help with, please leave me a note on my talk page.
Professional background (summary)
[edit]- Former real estate law attorney (practice focus: real estate transactions and related matters)
- President, Federation of Exchange Accommodators (2020–2021)
- Current board/council member, Federation of Exchange Accommodators
- President at First American Exchange Company, LLC
Disclosures & editing approach
[edit]- Affiliations: I served as President of the Federation of Exchange Accommodators (2020–2021) and currently serve on its board/council as well as the President at First American Exchange Company, LLC. I am **not** paid to edit Wikipedia, and I disclose this affiliation when relevant.
- Expertise-based maintenance: As a subject-matter expert in U.S. real estate law—especially 1031 like-kind exchanges—I help keep related articles accurate and up to date.
- What I edit directly: I will make limited, non-controversial, well-sourced fixes (e.g., correcting verifiable errors, updating leadership dates, fixing definitions, reflecting changes in law). When citing law, I note jurisdiction and effective dates, and I prioritize reliable secondary analysis in addition to primary legal texts.
- What I propose for review: For substantive, interpretive, or potentially contentious changes (including anything that may affect FEA-related articles or biographies), I seek consensus on the talk page and/or use request edit so independent editors can review.
- COI hygiene: I follow WP:COI, WP:NPOV, WP:V, WP:RS, and respect WP:OWN. I avoid promotional tone, provide high-quality citations, and favor secondary sources over original analysis.
- If in doubt: I start or join a talk-page discussion and invite input (e.g., from WikiProject Law or related projects) to reach consensus.
How to reach me
[edit]- Best to post on my talk page.
- I’m generally responsive and happy to collaborate with other editors.
