Does My Qualified Intermediary Need to Be Located In My State?

It’s important to work with a qualified intermediary whenever embarking on a new 1031 exchange. But many people have questions about how to choose the best intermediary. In this article, we are going to discuss whether or not your qualified intermediary needs to be located in the same state as your property.

1031 Exchanges Across State Lines

In a 1031 exchange, you can exchange qualifying like-kind real estate for other like-kind real estate within the United States. That means you can sell a relinquished property in Minnesota and acquire a replacement property in Florida. In fact, 1031 exchanges between states happen quite often as many taxpayers want to move their investment to different states for a variety of reasons.

Qualified Intermediaries Across State Lines

Similarly, your qualified intermediary can be from any state. They do not have to be located in the same state as your property. The one thing you should keep in mind is that there are local customs and regulations that differ from state to state. As a result, it’s important to work with a qualified intermediary who has experience facilitating exchanges in your state(s).
