Qualified Intermediary (QI)
An entity designated to temporarily hold funds or property titles until the 1031 Exchange process is completed.
A crucial component of the exchange process is the qualified intermediary. The qualified intermediary plays a vital role in complying with IRS Section 1031 rules, ensuring that funds from an exchange sale are held during the 180-day acquisition period. In a reverse exchange, the qualified intermediary holds the title, not the proceeds of the relinquished property. Let's explore this further:

• The responsibilities and functions performed by a qualified intermediary.
• Tips for selecting the most suitable qualified intermediary for your needs.
The Purpose of a Qualified Intermediary
A qualified intermediary plays a crucial role in the exchange process, and Deferred.com serves in this capacity while also managing every aspect of the 1031 Exchange through the Deferred Exchange Portal.
What a Qualified Intermediary Does
A qualified intermediary plays a crucial role by securing the exchanger's funds in a protected account. This involves coordination with the escrow agent for both the relinquished and acquired properties to ensure compliance with IRS guidelines. These guidelines dictate that the exchanger cannot directly receive funds that qualify for the tax benefits associated with a 1031 Exchange.
