xchange1031

Secure your exchange. Change your mind till day 45.

Sell your property. Pick a new one. Pay the tax later, not now. We walk you through it, one easy step at a time.

Free to start. Takes about 10 minutes.

We're live in every US state except Maine and Nevada right now - more coming soon.

What sets us apart

Change your mind, not your deadline.

Found a better property on day 44? You can still swap it in, any time before day 45. Most other platforms lock you in right away. We don't.

Day 44 of 45 - still allowed

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.

Most 1031 tools feel like homework

A 1031 exchange already has a lot of steps. Most tools make it feel harder, not easier.

The old way

  • Big confusing words everywhere, with no help understanding them
  • Deadlines hidden in a PDF or spreadsheet - easy to forget
  • You can't easily see where your money is
  • Made for the pros, not for you

With xchange1031

  • Every hard word gets a simple explanation, right when you need it
  • Your deadlines shown on an easy, visual timeline - not a spreadsheet date
  • You always see your money, and two people check every transfer
  • Built for someone doing this for the first time

How it works

Four simple steps.

  1. 1

    Tell us what you’re selling

    Just the basics - address, price, and closing date. About two minutes.

  2. 2

    We hold your money safely

    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.

  3. 3

    See your deadlines on a timeline

    Your day-45 and day-180 deadlines, shown from day one. No guessing.

  4. 4

    Pick your new property, then close

    Add your new property whenever you’re ready. Choose how you want your money moved when it’s time to close.

Deadlines you can actually see

Your day-45 and day-180 deadlines shown as a live countdown - not a date buried in a document.

Two people check every transfer

No single person can move money out of your account alone. Every transfer needs two people to say yes.

You choose how transfers happen

Let us handle it for you, or request transfers yourself. Either way, the same two-person check applies.

Simple words, always

Every hard word gets a simple explanation. The exact term is always one tap away, never hidden.

Built to keep your money safe

Two-person approval, always

No transfer happens until two different people say yes. No exceptions, ever.

Your information stays private

We check it's really you before showing or saving anything. No one else can see your records.

We tell you what we don’t know

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.

Our plain-language promise

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.

Questions people actually ask

A 1031 exchange lets you sell a property and buy a new one without paying tax right away. You get to use all your money on the next property, instead of losing some to taxes first. The name comes from Section 1031 of the tax code.
