Last Minute 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary Services

Need to Start a 1031 Exchange—Fast? We’ve Got You Covered.

Time is ticking. Maybe you just sold your property and heard about 1031 exchanges a little too late. Maybe your escrow officer just asked you, “Who's your Qualified Intermediary?” and you answered, “…what’s that?” Don’t worry. You’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not out of options.

We specialize in last minute 1031 exchange solutions. When others say “too late,” we say, “let’s make it happen.”

What Is a Last Minute 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 exchange lets you defer capital gains taxes when you sell one investment property and buy another. But it must be set up before your sale closes. That’s where many investors get tripped up.
A last minute 1031 exchange refers to an exchange that’s started right before closing—or even hours before funds change hands.
The key is speed. You need a Qualified Intermediary (QI) in place before closing. That’s where we come in.

Am I Too Late?

Here’s a quick test:

• Has your sale already closed and you’ve received the funds?
Unfortunately, yes—you’re too late for a standard 1031 exchange.

• Has your sale not closed yet?
You still have time. Call us right now.

• Has your buyer wired funds, but escrow hasn’t released them to you?
There may still be a chance. Call us immediately. Timing is everything.

Even if you think you’re too late, reach out anyway. We’ve seen it all. Sometimes a fast call can save the day.

Why Time Matters in a 1031 Exchange

The IRS Is Strict About Deadlines

To complete a valid exchange, the IRS requires:

  • Your sale proceeds must go directly to a Qualified Intermediary
  • You must identify your replacement property within 45 days of closing
  • You must close on your new property within 180 days

If funds hit your personal account—even briefly—you lose the ability to defer taxes.

That’s why last minute 1031 services are critical. Once closing hits, your window may close permanently.

We’re the Qualified Intermediary your title company wishes you had already picked. But it’s not too late to fix that.
