Nationwide 1031 Exchange Services from The Sontag Group

No matter where your investment property is located, a 1031 exchange remains one of the most powerful tools available to real estate investors for deferring capital gains taxes. The Sontag Group, with over 30 years of experience and more than 5,000 successful exchanges totaling over $1 billion in facilitated transactions, provides qualified intermediary services to investors in all 50 states. From New York to California, Texas to Florida, and everywhere in between, our team has the expertise to handle your exchange.

Cross-state 1031 exchanges are increasingly popular as investors seek to optimize their portfolios for better cash flow, tax advantages, and market growth. Investors in high-tax states like California (13.3% state rate), New York (10.9%), and New Jersey (10.75%) frequently exchange into properties in no-income-tax states like Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. These interstate exchanges require careful coordination of state-specific filing requirements, withholding rules, and clawback provisions that vary significantly between jurisdictions.

Nationwide 1031 Exchange FAQ

Common questions about 1031 exchanges across the US

Can I exchange a property in one state for one in another?
Yes. 1031 exchanges work across all state lines. You can sell a property in New York and buy a replacement in Florida, Texas, or any other state. State-specific tax rules may apply and should be coordinated with your QI.
Do all states recognize 1031 exchanges?
Yes, all 50 states recognize IRC Section 1031 exchanges. However, individual states have different capital gains tax rates (ranging from 0% to 13.3%) and some have specific filing or withholding requirements.
What are the 1031 exchange deadlines?
You have 45 days from closing to identify potential replacement properties and 180 days total to close on the replacement property. These deadlines are strict, apply in every state, and cannot be extended.
What is a reverse 1031 exchange?
In a reverse exchange, you acquire the replacement property BEFORE selling your current property. This is useful in competitive markets nationwide where desirable properties sell quickly.
What is a DST 1031 exchange?
A Delaware Statutory Trust is a pre-packaged investment qualifying as like-kind replacement. DSTs are available nationwide and are popular with investors who want passive income without direct property management.
How much does a 1031 exchange cost?
QI fees typically range from $750-$1,500 for a standard forward exchange. Reverse and construction exchanges cost more due to complexity. The tax savings almost always far exceed the fees.
