Investment property exchanges
1031 Exchange Transactions in Earlimart
Trade one investment property for another with the identification and closing deadlines watched from the very first day.
An Exchange Is a Race Against Two Clocks
Picture a family that has rented out the same house for years, or a grower ready to trade a vineyard for something that asks less of them. Section 1031 may let that owner roll the proceeds of business or investment real estate into like-kind property and put off the tax on the gain. The catch is timing. The first closing starts two clocks: 45 days to put replacement choices in writing, and 180 days to own one of them. Real Estate Agent Earlimart takes on the real estate chapters of that story, from marketing the property being given up to locating and negotiating its successor, with both escrows kept in step. A qualified intermediary keeps the money between sales, and your tax advisor rules on eligibility and the tax picture, because tax advice is outside our role. What we bring is a calendar checked daily, a head start on the search when it helps, and a frank read on whether a candidate can close in time. Rental homes, farmland and commercial buildings can all take part.

How an Exchange Moves From Start to Finish
Gather the team
Before listing, you choose a qualified intermediary and speak with your tax advisor. We talk through what you want in the replacement property and lay out the dates.
Sell and name the replacement
The property you are giving up is sold with exchange terms in place. When it closes, the identification period starts, and we help you settle on the properties to name.
Buy and finish on time
We bargain for the new property, see its inspections through and keep its escrow on track to close inside 180 days from the first sale.
