Transparent Pricing. Trusted Expertise.
Pricing built around your exchange.
Each 1031 exchange is unique. Our fees reflect many factors, including the type and number of properties involved, the location of the properties, and the overall complexity of the exchange. We tailor fees to the specific transaction and provide clear guidance on pricing upfront so you know exactly what to expect. Because reverse exchanges involve additional structural and legal requirements, those transactions typically carry higher fees than a standard forward exchange. At First American Exchange Company, our fees are transparent and comprehensive, with most wires and administrative services included. All our customers benefit from the financial strength of First American, supported by the expertise of our nationwide team of exchange specialists.

It is important to review your goals for a 1031 exchange, and all potential courses of action, with your independent tax and legal advisor(s) prior to commencing the exchange transaction. First American Exchange Company can provide helpful guidance in addition to exchange facilitation services, but cannot offer tax or legal advice, so it is essential to build a team of trusted advisors to work together with you and your Qualified Intermediary to avoid any unintended or unexpected obstacles to a successful exchange.

Once your property is sold, it is too late to set up an exchange. That's why you should start considering the details of a potential exchange before putting your investment property on the market. This way, you will have time to contemplate the various factors at play and vet the process with your independent legal and tax advisors, as well as with First American Exchange Company. However, an exchange can be set up any time before the sale and transfer of your investment property. It is preferable to bring First American Exchange Company into the process at least two weeks before the planned closing date so that we can verify all details and prepare your documents with ample time for closing.

Each 1031 exchange is unique. At First American Exchange Company, we are committed to providing top-tier, customized service to our clients by taking the details of each transaction into consideration. Our fees reflect many factors, including the type and number of properties involved, the location of the properties, and the overall complexity of the exchange. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we tailor fees to the specific transaction, and we provide clear guidance on pricing upfront so you know exactly what to expect. Because reverse exchanges involve additional structural and legal requirements, those transactions typically carry higher fees than a standard forward exchange. At First American Exchange Company, our fees are transparent and comprehensive, with most wires and administrative services included.
When selecting a Qualified Intermediary (QI), we encourage you to ask how your exchange funds will be held, whether fees have any hidden qualifiers (for example, if the fee only includes one property), and if additional charges, like wire fees, rush fees, or administrative costs, may apply. As part of the First American Financial family, we deposit exchange funds only with FDIC-insured, investment-grade banks and hold funds in segregated, taxpayer-designated accounts. We maintain broad fidelity and professional-liability coverage, and we operate under strong financial controls and governance. All our customers benefit from the financial strength of First American, supported by the expertise of our nationwide team of exchange specialists.
