The marketplace where the seller and the buyer are the same person.
In a §1031 like-kind exchange you sell a property and the closing starts a statutory clock to identify its replacement. 1031 MLS is where you do both: list what you are exchanging out of, and find what you are exchanging into — before the clock runs out.

Why the deadline governs everything
Two statutory clocks start the day you close.
An exchange is not a leisurely search. Miss either deadline and the tax deferral is gone. Every listing, saved search and match on 1031 MLS is built to be read against these clocks — never colour alone, always the number of days and the date.
From closing, you have 45 calendar days to formally identify candidate replacement properties in writing.
You then have until the earlier of 180 days from closing or your tax return due date, including extensions, to acquire what you identified.
One exchange, start to finish.
You do not have to have done this before. The marketplace is laid out in the order an exchange actually happens.
- 1List what you are selling
Post your relinquished property. Buyers see it is exchange-ready, and your identification clock is front and centre.
- 2Search for the replacement
Filter the market the way an exchanger actually thinks: by price band, asset type and where it sits against your 45-day window.
- 3Work with verified pros
Bring in a qualified intermediary, attorney, CPA or agent — each listed with the exact verification the platform has confirmed.
- 4Identify and close
Track candidates in your identification locker and close inside the exchange period, with every deadline in view.
What trades here
Like-kind is broad — and so is the market.
For §1031 purposes almost any real property held for investment or business use is like-kind to almost any other. These are the categories exchangers work in; specific inventory appears once listings go live.
- Industrial & logistics
- Retail & mixed-use
- Multifamily
- Single-family rentals
- Office
- Land
Credible to the people who close deals
The professionals an exchange needs, verified and listed.
A compliant exchange runs on a qualified intermediary and usually an attorney, a CPA and an agent. 1031 MLS lists them alongside the property, each showing the exact verification the platform has confirmed — never more than we checked.
- Qualified intermediaries
- 1031 attorneys
- CPAs & tax advisors
- Exchange-fluent agents
