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.
