There are several parties involved in a typical 1031 exchange transaction. Today we’re going to take a closer look at one in particular – the third party administrator. In this article, we are going to discuss the role of the third party administrator in a 1031 exchange of real estate.

Third Party Administrator Defined

First thing’s first – what exactly is a third party administrator? Put simply, a third party administrator is a professional who specializes in facilitating 1031 exchange transactions. Essentially, a third party administrator is just another term for a qualified intermediary – a term you might be familiar with if you read our blog regularly. Here are a few benefits to hiring a third party administrator for your real estate exchange under IRC section 1031:

  • Preparing Documents. There are a lot of documents you need to prepare during a typical 1031 exchange, and a third party administrator can take care of all of them so you don’t have to.

  • Answering Questions. A lot of people who have never done an exchange before (and even some who have done many) have questions about their 1031 transaction. A third party administrator can answer all of your questions that arise during your exchange.
