Why Sell Your Land to Colorado Western Land?

Why 1031 Exchangers Work With Us

A 1031 exchange under IRC § 1031 requires strict timelines — 45 days from the sale of your relinquished property to identify replacement property, 180 days to close. If you're on the sale side, you need a buyer who will actually close, not a retail buyer who might flake after the inspection.

We close on our stated timeline. Always. Because we're paying cash out of our own funds (no bank, no loan contingency, no appraisal), the main risks that kill retail deals — financing falls through, appraisal comes in low, buyer gets cold feet — don't apply to us.

Important: We are not tax advisors. Talk to your CPA about whether a 1031 exchange is appropriate for your situation and structure it through a qualified intermediary (QI). Colorado follows federal 1031 rules for state income tax treatment.

Things to Know About 1031 Exchanges in Colorado

Per IRC § 1031, the replacement property must be "like-kind" — in practice, any real property held for investment or business use qualifies as like-kind to other investment real property. Primary residences don't qualify. Dealer-held inventory doesn't qualify. The proceeds must go to a qualified intermediary, never directly to you. You must identify replacement property in writing within 45 days and close within 180 days. Colorado imposes a 2% real estate withholding on sales by non-residents per Colorado Department of Revenue rules, though the QI can often handle this. Again — talk to your CPA.
