1031 Exchange Title & Escrow Across New Jersey
Defer your gains, hit your IRS deadlines, and close on time. Founders Title Agency coordinates 1031 exchange title work with your qualified intermediary on every NJ leg of the transaction.
Forward, reverse, and improvement exchanges
We handle the title and escrow for all three structures: forward exchanges (sell first, buy within 180 days), reverse exchanges (buy first, sell within 180 days), and build-to-suit/improvement exchanges where exchange funds are used to build value into the replacement property.
Coordinated with your QI
The IRS prohibits your title agent from also serving as your qualified intermediary. We work in lockstep with the QI you choose — preparing exchange-friendly settlement statements, holding nothing that would taint constructive receipt, and recording exactly when the QI instructs.
Deadline discipline
Every 1031 file gets calendar tracking on the 45-day identification deadline and 180-day closing deadline. We notify you, your QI, and your tax counsel ahead of every milestone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 1031 exchange?
A 1031 exchange (named for IRC §1031) lets real estate investors defer capital gains tax by reinvesting proceeds from one investment property into another like-kind property within strict IRS timelines.
What are the 1031 deadlines?
45 days from the sale of your relinquished property to identify replacements, and 180 days to close on the replacement property. Founders Title Agency tracks both deadlines on every exchange file.
Do you act as the qualified intermediary?
No — by IRS rules, your title agent cannot also be your QI. We coordinate seamlessly with the QI of your choice or refer you to vetted NJ-experienced intermediaries.
