Frequently Asked Questions About 1031 Exchange Brokers

Why do I need a broker who specializes in 1031 exchanges?

A 1031-experienced broker understands the strict 45-day identification deadline and can quickly locate suitable replacement properties. They know which properties qualify as like-kind, how to structure offers with exchange cooperation clauses, and how to coordinate with your QI to keep the timeline on track.

Can I identify more than one replacement property?

Yes. The IRS allows three identification rules: the Three-Property Rule (identify up to 3 properties of any value), the 200% Rule (identify any number of properties whose total value does not exceed 200% of the relinquished property), or the 95% Rule (identify any number if you acquire at least 95% of the total identified value).

What types of replacement properties qualify for a 1031 exchange?

Most real estate held for investment or business use qualifies as like-kind, including commercial buildings, multifamily, industrial, retail, raw land, and NNN lease properties. The replacement property does not need to be the same type as the property you sold.
