1031 Exchange Candidate List

Under IRS Section 1031, once a seller closes on their relinquished property, they have exactly 45 calendar days to formally identify potential replacement properties in writing. This notification goes to their qualified intermediary — not the seller themselves. The seller can identify up to three properties regardless of value, or more properties under certain valuation rules. Missing this deadline forfeits the entire exchange and triggers the capital gains tax.

Station CRM monitors ACRIS (NYC's Automated City Register Information System) daily for commercial deed transfers. Large commercial sales where the seller has likely held the property long enough to have a significant capital gain are flagged as potential 1031 exchangers. Each candidate is scored by urgency based on days remaining in the 45-day identification window. The full list — including seller names, contact information, and property details — is available to Station CRM subscribers.

The 45-day identification deadline is the real urgency signal. After that window closes, the seller has either identified a replacement or forfeited the exchange. A seller who's identified a replacement but hasn't closed is still an active buyer — but they've already selected their target. The most valuable moment to reach a 1031 candidate is before the identification deadline, when a broker with the right property can influence which property gets identified. That's why this list scores urgency based on days remaining in the 45-day window, not the 180-day window.

The full Station CRM list includes: seller legal entity name, principal contact name where available, property address, ACRIS document ID for verification, and urgency score. These are sourced from public ACRIS deed records. Access is included with a Station CRM subscription — request a demo to see the complete dataset.
