How Does a Qualified Intermediary Facilitate a 1031 Exchange?

What is a QI (Qualified Intermediary), and how do they facilitate an IRC section 1031 exchange? Do you even need one? Well, a successful 1031 exchange isn't a do-it-yourself project. You must follow IRS rules to realize the tax deferral benefits, and you'll need a middle person, called a qualified intermediary (QI). A QI is an unrelated party who participates in the tax-deferred, like-kind exchange to facilitate the disposition of the Exchangor’s relinquished property and the acquisition of the Exchangor’s replacement property per the exchange agreement. The Qualified Intermediary has NO economic interest except for any compensation (exchange fee) it may receive for facilitating the exchange as defined in Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. A "Qualified Intermediary" is the correct technical reference according to Treasury Regulations, but the Qualified Intermediary can also known as the Accommodator, Facilitator or Intermediary while working in exchange services.
