How can I avoid common 1031 exchange mistakes that cause tax disqualification?

The IRS allows powerful tax deferrals through 1031 exchanges—but even small missteps can turn a smart move into a costly mistake. To avoid disqualification, investors need a qualified intermediary who not only knows the rules but manages every deadline and document with precision. That’s exactly what Bob Calongne, attorney and CEO of The 1031 Exchange Center LLC, provides.

With over 50 years of legal and brokerage experience, Bob’s process is designed to prevent the most common exchange errors before they occur. He helps clients avoid missed 45- and 180-day deadlines by building written timelines and providing proactive reminders. He ensures title and entity names match perfectly between the sale and purchase—a frequent cause of IRS rejection. And he personally reviews every contract, identification form, and closing statement for compliance before it’s signed.

Clients appreciate that Bob explains each step in plain English, coordinating directly with their CPAs, brokers, and lenders so no one makes an assumption that risks the tax benefit. From fund handling to final reporting, every detail is verified for accuracy and security.

Proof: One client shared, “Bob’s attention to detail saved my exchange—he caught an error my attorney missed.”
