Choose a Qualified 1031 Intermediary
​
When it comes to executing a successful 1031 exchange, choosing the right qualified intermediary (QI) isn't just a recommendation—it’s a necessity. A 1031 exchange allows you to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of investment property, but strict IRS rules apply. Having an experienced, trustworthy intermediary ensures your exchange is executed seamlessly, securely, and within all legal guidelines. Commonwealth1031.com LLC can serve as your QI.
​
Why Your Intermediary Matters
A Qualified Intermediary acts as a neutral third party to hold proceeds from your sale and facilitate the purchase of your replacement property. Mistakes in this process can result in a failed exchange—and a large tax bill. That’s why choosing a reputable, experienced QI is essential.
