1031 Exchange Overview

This paper is a basic overview of IRC section 1031 tax deferred exchanges. It is not intended to be a guide to such an exchange, as it may omit rules and considerations that could impact upon someone actually conducting a 1031 exchange.

This paper will use the terms “old property” for the property being sold and “new property” for the property being purchased. A “property” can consist of more than one piece of real estate.

We have participated in many 1031 exchanges and usually have several such transactions every year. However, we are not licensed to provide either legal or tax advice. Licensed professionals such as attorneys or CPA’s should be consulted for such advice.

We are not Qualified Intermediaries or Accommodators (see item 10.) If you are looking for an intermediary we recommend Whitney Brennan of IPX 1031 Exchange at 1468-(916) 806 or Janet Schaum at Old Republic at (412) 389-5606.

We are Real Estate Resale Professionals and would welcome the opportunity to interview for the job of getting your property sold and/or helping you find the right replacement property.

Daren & Sandra Woods

We were blessed to have Mike and Jon sell our house. They were extremely professional and stayed in great contact with us. We interviewed 7 agents and they were simply the most prepared and had the most logical marketing plan. Their pricing spreadsheet really made a big difference. We highly recommend them.

Wow, we ended up being one of those people who sold their house in a day. Mike and Donna delivered exactly what we asked them to do and we are so happy we trusted intuition and our friends.

Is Real Estate a Safe Bet?

April 2026 I’ve been in the business long enough and worked long enough in 3 states to have seen the market go up, come down, sit flat, and repeat those cycles several times. What I know for sure is that what is happening now is…
