How to Work with Your Qualified Intermediary to Ensure a Successful 1031 Exchange

A qualified intermediary is integral in any 1031 exchange of investment real estate. But the ultimate success of your 1031 exchange depends on how you interact with your qualified intermediary. In this article, we are going to talk about how to work best with your qualified intermediary in order to ensure a successful 1031 exchange of real estate.

Starting the Process As Early As Possible

The first pro tip to remember in any 1031 exchange is to start the process as early as possible. That means you should contact your qualified intermediary at the same time (or even before) you sign the sale agreement for your relinquished property. If you wait until the last minute, it makes things all the more difficult to ensure your 1031 exchange is set up for success.

Information to Provide Your Qualified Intermediary

When you reach out to your qualified intermediary to begin the 1031 exchange process, you will need to provide them with some initial information, including:

  • Your Address

  • Your Social Security Number or Tax ID Number

  • Contact Information for the Title Closer and/or Escrow Company Facilitating Your Closing

  • The Legal Description and Address of Your Relinquished Property

Providing these items right away can help jumpstart the process and set you up for success!
