Local support for your Arizona 1031 exchange.
Selling real estate? A 1031 exchange lets you defer capital gains taxes and keep your money working. We make the process simple, personal, and close to home.
What is a 1031 exchange?
A 1031 exchange lets real estate investors and landowners defer taxes when property is sold and “exchanged” for new property of like kind.
Most exchanges work one of two ways: a simultaneous trade for other real estate, or selling to one party and acquiring replacement property from another. Unless the 1031 exchange is a simultaneous exchange, a qualified intermediary like Mesa 1031 is required to facilitate the exchange.

Built for every kind of deal.
Deferred (Forward)
Sell first, then use a qualified intermediary to acquire replacement property with the proceeds. The most common path.
Reverse
Acquire the replacement property before the relinquished property is sold — useful in competitive markets.
Construction
Use exchange proceeds to both purchase replacement property and build improvements on it.
Simultaneous
One property is exchanged for another at the same time, in a single coordinated closing.
