Your Trusted 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary
Navigating a 1031 exchange can feel overwhelming, but with the right partner, it doesn’t have to be. As a professional 1031 exchange qualified intermediary, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re new to real estate investing or a seasoned pro, we make the process smooth and stress-free.
What Is a 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary?
A qualified intermediary (QI) is a neutral third party who facilitates 1031 exchanges. The IRS requires a QI to ensure the transaction complies with tax laws. Think of us as the middleman who handles the paperwork, timelines, and escrow so you can focus on your investment goals.
Without a QI, your exchange won’t qualify for tax deferral. That’s why it’s essential to work with a reliable and experienced professional.
Why Do You Need a Qualified Intermediary?
Handling a 1031 exchange without a QI isn’t just risky—it’s impossible under IRS rules. Here’s why you need us:
1. Compliance with IRS Rules
The IRS has strict guidelines for 1031 exchanges. We ensure your exchange follows every rule, from timelines to documentation.
2. Managing Timelines
A 1031 exchange has two key deadlines:
- 45 days to identify replacement property.
- 180 days to close the transaction.
We keep you on track to avoid costly mistakes.
3. Holding Funds in Escrow
You can’t touch the proceeds from your sale during a 1031 exchange. We hold these funds in a segregated, secure escrow account, protecting your transaction from disqualification.

Common Questions About 1031 Exchanges
Can I Choose My QI After Selling My Property?
No. You must have a QI in place before closing your sale.
What Happens If I Miss the 45-Day Deadline?
Unfortunately, missing this deadline means your exchange won’t qualify for tax deferral.
How Much Does a Qualified Intermediary Cost?
We charge fixed fees based on what type of exchange you are doing - deferred, improvement, reverse, or simultaneous. You will know the price up front with no surprises. You are never charged until a property closes, and all fees appear on your closing statement.
