We meet a lot of investors at our webinars and at trade shows around the country. They’re excited about what a 1031 exchange can do for them. Then they find out we’re based in Texas, and the same question almost always follows: “Can I still work with you if I’m not in your state?” It’s a fair question, and the answer matters whether your exchange is here in Texas or somewhere else entirely.
Yes. Absolutely.
Key Takeaways
- 1031 exchanges can be executed across state lines, investors are not required to reinvest in the same state as the relinquished property.
- A nationally licensed Qualified Intermediary can facilitate exchanges in all 50 states, removing geographic restrictions for investors.
- Investors can use a cross-state 1031 exchange to shift their portfolio into stronger markets, favorable tax climates, or diversified geographies.

Serving 1031 Exchange Clients Nationwide
We work with clients in all 50 states, and where you live simply doesn’t change what we can do for you. You might be selling in California and buying in New York, or trading properties across a couple of state lines. Either way, we’ve done it many times, and we’ll keep your exchange running smoothly.
Why Location Doesn’t Matter
- We stay connected virtually. These days, distance isn’t a barrier. We use secure online tools, video calls, and good old phone calls to work with you from anywhere in the country.
- We know interstate exchanges. Plenty of exchanges cross state lines, and we handle them all the time. That means we already know the legal and logistical wrinkles that tend to come up.
- We keep you in the loop. You’ll have a dedicated specialist who walks you through each stage, answers your questions, and flags anything you need to know before it becomes a problem.
- We tailor it to you. No two investors have the same goals. We take time to understand your strategy first, then shape the exchange around it.
- We hold ourselves to a high standard. Wherever you are, you get the same clear guidance and steady communication from the first call to the final closing.
