You can swap any time before day 45 - that’s the law (IRC §1031(a)(3), Treas. Reg. §1.1031(k)-1(c)), not just our rule. After day 45, your choice locks in place everywhere, including here.
A 1031 exchange already has a lot of steps. Most tools make it feel harder, not easier.
The old way
With xchange1031
Four simple steps.
Just the basics - address, price, and closing date. About two minutes.
The law says you can’t hold your own sale money. We hold it for you, and two people must say yes before it moves.
Your day-45 and day-180 deadlines, shown from day one. No guessing.
Add your new property whenever you’re ready. Choose how you want your money moved when it’s time to close.

Your day-45 and day-180 deadlines shown as a live countdown - not a date buried in a document.
No single person can move money out of your account alone. Every transfer needs two people to say yes.
Let us handle it for you, or request transfers yourself. Either way, the same two-person check applies.
Every hard word gets a simple explanation. The exact term is always one tap away, never hidden.
No transfer happens until two different people say yes. No exceptions, ever.
We check it's really you before showing or saving anything. No one else can see your records.
Some numbers are just estimates. We say so, and ask a CPA to check them, instead of letting you guess.
xchange1031 helps you track your exchange - it is not legal or tax advice. See our full terms & disclosures. A CPA or tax attorney should still check your exchange.
We always use simple words first. The exact term is still there - just one tap away. Try it:
By law, you can't touch your sale proceeds yourself - your exchange helper holds them for you.
You'll have time to pick your new property once your sale closes.
Any cash or value you keep you keep instead of reinvesting may be taxable.
Tap the little “?” next to any term to see exactly what it means.
It takes about ten minutes to start. Then you can see your deadlines, your property, and your money, all in one place.
