1031 Exchange Intermediary Services

1031 exchange intermediary services facilitate tax-deferred exchanges for real estate investors. A 1031 exchange allows investors to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of investment properties by reinvesting the proceeds into another like-kind property. However, to qualify for this tax deferral, investors must comply with strict IRS guidelines; this is where a qualified intermediary comes in. If you’re exploring a 1031 Exchange, consult with the experts at Customers Bank for guidance and support.

What is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 exchange, named after Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, allows real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of investment properties by reinvesting the proceeds into similar properties.

This tax-deferred exchange enables investors to defer paying capital gains taxes, potentially leading to significant savings. By rolling over the proceeds from one property to another, investors can continue to grow their real estate portfolios without being burdened by immediate tax liabilities.

What Are 1031 Exchange Intermediaries?

1031 exchange intermediaries like Customers Bank offer expertise and guidance throughout the exchange process. They stay up-to-date with changes in tax laws and regulations, ensuring that investors are aware of any updates that may impact their exchanges. Intermediaries also have extensive knowledge of real estate markets and can provide valuable insights into identifying suitable replacement properties that align with the investor’s investment goals. 

A key benefit of using a 1031 exchange intermediary is their ability to streamline the exchange process. They handle all the administrative tasks associated with the exchange, such as preparing the necessary documents, coordinating with other parties involved in the transaction, and ensuring compliance at every step. This allows investors to focus on identifying and acquiring replacement properties without getting bogged down by paperwork and legalities.
