05 — Our Team

The advisors behind
every exchange

Two founding brokers and two dedicated advisors — all licensed in Nevada, all specialists in the Las Vegas luxury market, and all focused on one outcome: keeping your capital gains out of Sacramento, Springfield, and Albany.

Founding brokers

Built on ownership and accountability

Ken and Yorgho founded You Decide Realty and 1031 Exchange Elite on a shared belief — that investors deserve advisors with skin in the game, not salaried agents filling a quota.

Ken Calder built You Decide Realty around informed client choice. As Broker and Owner of 1031 Exchange Elite, Ken helps investors organize the Las Vegas property search and coordinate the real-estate side of a possible exchange with the client's separate professional team.

Ken works with Qualified Intermediaries, attorneys, CPAs, lenders, inspectors, and closing teams while keeping each professional's role distinct. Exchange eligibility, deadlines, funds, and tax outcomes require confirmation by those responsible professionals.

His approach is straightforward: show clients the exact numbers, explain every option, and let them decide. No pressure. No hidden agenda. Just precise execution on one of the most consequential financial moves an investor can make.

NV Lic. B.1003067 · TN Lic. 265652

Yorgho Triantaphyllou is a founding Broker and Owner of both You Decide Realty and 1031 Exchange Elite, bringing a rigorous, detail-driven approach to one of real estate's most time-sensitive and financially consequential transactions. As a licensed broker in Nevada and Tennessee, Yorgho works alongside investors navigating the complexities of 1031 exchanges — ensuring every identification deadline, exchange structure, and replacement property decision is executed with precision.

Yorgho's philosophy mirrors the firm's founding principle: that sophisticated investors deserve complete transparency, unbiased guidance, and an advisor who measures success by the outcome for the client — not the size of the commission.

His deep knowledge of the Las Vegas luxury market — from guard-gated communities in Summerlin to custom estate lots in Henderson — positions him to move quickly when the 45-day identification window opens, matching clients to the right replacement property without compromise.
