We’ve talked before about the role of the qualified intermediary in a 1031 exchange. In this article, we are going to offer three reasons why it’s important to work with a qualified intermediary on your 1031 real estate exchange.

They Will Prepare Your 1031 Documents

There are a lot of documents that you need to prepare and execute during the 1031 exchange process. For the uninitiated, this can get complicated quickly. When you hire a qualified intermediary, they will prepare all of your 1031 exchange documents so you don’t have to. That way, you’ll have everything you need when you arrive at the closing table.

They Will Insulate Your From Receiving Boot

In a 1031 exchange, the person completing the exchange cannot receive any of the sales proceeds. Instead, these proceeds need to remain separate until they are rolled over into the new replacement property. Your intermediary can insulate you from receiving these proceeds (boot) by holding the funds until you are ready to close on the replacement property.

They Will Advise You Throughout the Process

A qualified intermediary is a professional who works on 1031 exchange transactions every day. Having this type of experience by your side throughout your exchange is extremely beneficial. Your intermediary will answer all of your questions and advise you throughout the 1031 exchange process.
