A 1031 exchange is one of the most powerful tools in real estate investing. It lets you sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into a new property — while deferring capital gains taxes. SMPL Realty helps Saint Louis investors navigate the 1031 exchange process, including finding replacement properties and meeting IRS deadlines.
When You Need 1031 Exchange Guidance
You need 1031 exchange guidance when you're selling an investment property and want to defer taxes on the gain. The IRS has strict rules — you must identify a replacement property within 45 days and close within 180 days. Missing either deadline means you pay the taxes.
In Saint Louis, investors use 1031 exchanges to trade up — selling a single-family rental for a multi-family building, or moving from one neighborhood to a stronger market. The strategy works, but the execution has to be precise.
Our 1031 Exchange Guidance Process
We help you plan your 1031 exchange from the start. Before you sell, we identify replacement property options that match your investment goals. We work with qualified intermediaries (QIs) who hold the funds and ensure IRS compliance.
Once your current property sells, the clock starts. We move quickly to find and secure your replacement property within the required timelines. We coordinate inspections, appraisals, and closing logistics. We keep you on track with every deadline so your exchange goes through without a hitch.
