Riverside 1031

What Riverside 1031 does

Riverside 1031, LLC is a privately held Qualified Intermediary that facilitates IRC Section 1031 tax-deferred property exchanges for real estate investors across the United States. The company acts as a Safe Harbor-compliant escrow holder for exchange proceeds, enabling property owners to defer federal and state capital gains taxes by reinvesting sale proceeds into like-kind replacement property within the statutory 45-day identification and 180-day completion windows. Core offerings include Forward (delayed) and Reverse 1031 exchanges, with the Reverse Exchange product allowing clients to close on a replacement property before selling the relinquished property while title is parked with the Qualified Intermediary.

The underlying technology is a web-based exchange management platform with a secure client portal that supports online transaction tracking, document management, and digital intake forms for both forward and reverse exchanges. Supporting tools include a 45/180-Day Calculator and a Capital Gains Calculator, alongside an "Ask an Expert" consultation interface and a downloadable library of IRS forms (Form 8824, Form 1099S) and publications. The company has extended its service surface through two affiliated sub-brands: Riverside Abstract, which provides title insurance and abstract services, and Riverside TACS, an additional exchange-related offering.

The business operates on a transaction-fee model for exchange facilitation, supplemented by title and closing services revenue from Riverside Abstract; standard pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a promotional $10.31 flat fee observed for new exchanges during a stated promotional period. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, combining digital self-service initiation via the website with high-touch support from in-house Certified Exchange Specialists and staff attorneys. The company maintains a four-office footprint spanning Brooklyn and New York City (NY), Lakewood (NJ), and Houston (TX), with content marketing, expert consultations, and professional referral relationships supporting national reach.
