As your Qualified Intermediary

As your QI, SEA1031 will draft an exchange agreement and assignment documents allowing us to act on your behalf for the sale of the relinquished property and purchase of replacement property. We will work with your closing agents for the sale and purchase to make certain the settlement statements correctly identify the exchange and our role as your QI. We will open a segregated bank account to hold the proceeds from your relinquished sale (your exchange funds). The closing agent conducting the sale will wire the proceeds directly into your exchange account. By holding the proceeds in a separate account, we are preventing you from having actual or constructive receipt of them. This is very important because if you have any control over the funds while the exchange is open, the funds will not be tax deferred and you will not be able to complete the exchange. We are allowed to use exchange funds only for the purchase of replacement property and will wire them to the closing for your purchase. We will return any unused funds to the taxpayer in the exchange. For more information on exchange funds, click here.
