Like-kind exchanges
1031 Exchange Real Estate in Shafter
The relinquished sale and the replacement purchase coordinated on the exchange calendar, working with your qualified intermediary and tax advisor.
Two Transactions, One Unforgiving Calendar
A 1031 exchange can let someone holding investment or business real estate sell it, buy like-kind replacement property and defer capital gains tax, provided the rules are followed. The rules are strict. Once the first property closes, the replacement must be named in writing within 45 days and acquired within 180. A qualified intermediary holds the sale proceeds in between, and your tax advisor determines how the exchange affects you. Our role is the real estate side. Shafter Real Estate Agent sells the relinquished property, searches for and evaluates replacement options, negotiates the purchase and keeps both escrows aligned with the exchange calendar. That often means starting the replacement search before the first sale closes, so the 45-day window is spent choosing among good options rather than scrambling to find any. It also means writing purchase contracts with timelines that fit inside the 180 days. Orchards, rentals, shop buildings and investment land may all fit. We stay out of tax and legal advice, and no tax outcome is promised. We make sure the property work is done well and on time.
