For the most part, a 1031 exchange is quite similar to standard real estate transactions. But there are a few differences are present in this type of transaction.

What Makes a 1031 Exchange Different?

We can serve as a qualified intermediary for a 1031 exchange. Our title company can perform such services while also being the escrow officer as part of the transaction process. As part of our normal services, we will hold the buyer’s funds in an escrow account until all the documentation is signed which completes the real estate transaction.

For a 1031 exchange, we do the same thing by services as the escrow officer representing the taxpayer. We provide these services as the property is disposed while identifying prospective properties that meet the qualifications of a 1031 exchange. If such a property does qualify, then the capital gains tax can be deferred on the gains made from the sale.
