1031 Exchanges
1031 Exchange Advisory & Replacement Property Solutions
Don’t lose 20-30% of your hard-earned equity to capital gains tax. A Section 1031 exchange allows you to reinvest 100% of your sale proceeds into “like-kind” assets, preserving your wealth and scaling your commercial portfolio. At Stonecliff, we specialize in navigating the complexities of tax-deferred exchanges, ensuring you meet every IRS deadline with confidence.
Strategic Execution for the 45-Day Identification Window
The 1031 exchange is a race against time. With only 45 days to identify a replacement property and 180 days to close, you need more than a broker—you need a strategist with a pipeline. At Stonecliff Commercial Real Estate, we specialize in the “up-leg” of the transaction, ensuring you transition from a relinquished asset into a stable, income-generating investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is "Like-Kind" Property?
Contrary to popular belief, “like-kind” is broad. You can trade raw land for an office building, or an apartment complex for a retail center, as long as both are held for investment or business use.
Can I perform a Reverse 1031 Exchange?
Yes. If you find the perfect replacement property before you’ve sold your current one, we can help facilitate a reverse exchange to ensure you don’t miss the opportunity.
