Qualified Intermediary for 1031 Exchanges in New York City
New York City’s real estate market is among the most complex and high-value in the country. Investors managing brownstones in Brooklyn, commercial lofts in Manhattan, or multifamily buildings in Queens routinely use 1031 exchanges to defer substantial capital gains and reinvest across the five boroughs or beyond. New York’s state and city tax layers make proper exchange structuring especially critical.

With a professional history managing transactions ranging in price from $100,000 to over $100M, our company brings to the table an rare and valuable blend of business acumen, real estate insight, and financial literacy.
1031 Exchange Intermediary Services in New York City
Whether you’re considering a Delayed, Simultaneous, Reverse, or Improvement Exchange, we offer dedicated support tailored to your unique investment needs. Our 1031 exchange process ensures secure handling of your funds, alignment with applicable IRS requirements, and strategic optimization of your tax benefits. Navigate your real estate transactions with the confidence that comes from partnering with an industry expert who puts your interests at the forefront of every exchange.
Our 1031 Exchange Intermediary Services Include:
Delayed Exchange
A delayed exchange in New York City requires precise coordination given the market’s high transaction values and multi-party closings. After selling your relinquished property, you have 45 days to identify replacement properties and 180 days to close. We work with New York real estate attorneys, title companies, and escrow agents to manage fund security and IRS compliance throughout the exchange.
Simultaneous Exchange
A simultaneous exchange in NYC involves closing both the sale and purchase on the same day — a process that demands tight coordination among attorneys, title agents, and lenders. We prepare exchange documentation in advance and manage the fund flow between transactions so the exchange qualifies for full tax deferral under Section 1031.
Reverse Exchange
New York City’s competitive market and limited inventory frequently require investors to secure a replacement property before the relinquished property sells. A reverse exchange addresses this timing challenge. An Exchange Accommodation Titleholder holds the acquired property while you close the sale of your existing asset within 180 days.
Improvement Exchange
NYC investors often use improvement exchanges to renovate or redevelop replacement properties — from gut-renovating a Manhattan commercial space to converting a Brooklyn warehouse into loft apartments. We coordinate with contractors, attorneys, and title agents to ensure construction milestones align with IRS exchange period requirements.

The exchanger signs a contract to sell a relinquished property to the buyer.
Universal Pacific 1031 Exchange and the exchanger enter into an exchange agreement to retain Universal Pacific 1031 Exchange as the Qualified Intermediary and the exchanger then assigns the exchanger’s rights in the sale contract to Universal Pacific 1031 Exchange.

The exchanger must identify possible replacement properties in writing to Universal Pacific 1031 Exchange within the 45-day identification period.
