Looking for a trusted orlando 1031 exchange title company? Title Company of Florida handles title insurance, escrow, and closings with clear pricing and fast communication.

Title Company of Florida provides title insurance, escrow, and closing services for 1031 like-kind exchange transactions involving property in Orlando, Orange County. Whether you’re acquiring replacement property in Central Florida or closing the sale of relinquished property to start your exchange, we handle the title work and closing coordination your Qualified Intermediary and exchange timeline depend on.

Local Support for Orlando 1031 Exchange Closings

We are not a walk-in branch office in Orlando — Title Company of Florida is based in Northeast Florida and serves clients throughout the state, including Orlando and nearby communities such as Winter Park, Kissimmee, Lake Mary, and Altamonte Springs, through Remote Online Notarization (RON), mobile notary signings, and mail-away closing packages. This lets investors, agents, and intermediaries in Central Florida close on a tight exchange deadline without needing a local title office.

What Is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 exchange, named for IRC Section 1031, allows an investor to defer capital gains tax on the sale of investment or business-use real estate by reinvesting the proceeds into “like-kind” replacement property. To qualify, the exchange must follow strict IRS timelines and procedural requirements, and the funds must pass through a Qualified Intermediary (QI) rather than the taxpayer directly.

• 45-Day Identification Period — from the closing of the relinquished property, the taxpayer has 45 calendar days to formally identify potential replacement property.
• 180-Day Closing Period — the replacement property purchase must close within 180 calendar days of the relinquished property sale (or the tax return due date, if earlier).
• Qualified Intermediary Requirement — exchange proceeds must be held by an independent QI; the taxpayer cannot have actual or constructive receipt of the funds.

Our Role: Title and Closing, Not Qualified Intermediary

Title Company of Florida handles the title insurance, escrow, and closing documentation for both the relinquished property sale and the replacement property purchase in a 1031 exchange. We are not a Qualified Intermediary and do not hold exchange funds ourselves — the IRS generally treats a taxpayer’s own title or closing agent as a “disqualified person” if they also attempt to serve as QI for that same transaction. Instead, we work directly alongside your independent Qualified Intermediary to make sure the closing documents, vesting, and fund transfers align with your exchange requirements.

Replacement Property Closing Process in Orlando

1. Exchange Setup — your Qualified Intermediary prepares the exchange agreement before the relinquished property closes; we coordinate directly with your QI on timing.
2. Title Search and Commitment — we run a title search on the Orlando replacement property and issue a title commitment, resolving any liens or defects before closing.
3. Vesting and Documentation — we confirm the replacement property is titled consistently with IRS like-kind requirements and your exchange structure (same taxpayer, matching vesting where required).
4. Escrow Coordination with Your QI — exchange proceeds move from your Qualified Intermediary’s escrow directly into the closing, never passing through the taxpayer’s hands.
5. Remote or Mobile Closing — signing happens via Remote Online Notarization, a mobile notary visit, or a mail-away package, wherever you and the other parties are located.
6. Recording and Final Title Policy — we record the deed and issue the final owner’s title insurance policy on the replacement property.

Local Closing Considerations in Orange County

Orange County recording offices, documentary stamp tax rates, and local customs around closing costs can differ from county to county in Florida. We track these county-specific details for Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida market so your 1031 exchange closing on the replacement property runs on schedule within your 180-day window.
