"Knowledgable and attentive to our questions/needs. No fees was not a gimmick. Safety, quality, and service was not sacrificed. Will for sure use Deferred.com again for future exchanges."

“What a great experience. I very much appreciate the outstanding care we saw throughout the process. I always felt as though I received top tier treatment. Vanguard shook up the mutual fund industry back then with their no-load mutual funds and I can see Deferred as being the Vanguard of the 1031 industry.”

"Dian Cook helped us and she was very professional, responsive, and a good teacher about the process. She worked with all parties, escrow, title, realtors on both sides and was the most helpful of all of the people we worked with. Also, no charge."

I was skeptical when I heard Deferred would handle my transfer for FREE, but after some research that came back as all positive I gave them my business. They made the process so easy and simple and took care of EVERYTHING from start to finish. I had many questions and they took the time to answer them all. I would highly recommend Deferred to anyone thinking about making a 1031 exchange.

What's the CATCH?

Other Qualified Intermediaries keep your interest.

In the 1031 exchange industry, it’s common for intermediaries to hold your money in an interest-bearing account and retain the interest earned on your funds. In a $5 million exchange, interest can exceed $100,000—all of which is typically kept by the intermediary.

This practice costs investors valuable additional income—on top of the exchange fees they already pay.

At Deferred, we’re doing things differently. To start, we’re the only intermediary that offers a No Fee Exchange. We share the interest earned on your funds because it’s your money—and you deserve to benefit from it. Our share of that interest covers our fee, meaning you get the security, support, and expertise of a top-tier intermediary without any hidden costs.

We’re building Deferred on the principles of transparency and equity because you deserve a partner that puts you first—not just in words, but in action. It’s time to redefine the way 1031 exchanges are done. At Deferred, we back our commitment with real value by eliminating fees and helping you earn more. Because when you win, we all do.
