Description:What You'll Be DoingAs an Exchange Coordinator, you'll be the key support partner for our Exchange Officers-managing exchange files from intake through closing. You'll ensure documents are accurate, timelines are met, and communications with exchangers, advisors, and closers are timely and professional. Your role will also include occasional support for Exchange Assistants as needed.A 1031 exchange is a real estate transaction that allows investors to sell one investment property and reinvest the proceeds into another, deferring capital gains taxes as long as strict IRS rules and timelines are followed. Because these exchanges require precise documentation, regulatory compliance, and coordination between multiple parties, experience in legal work, trust administration, real estate, or mortgage closings is especially valuable. These backgrounds provide the attention to detail, regulatory knowledge, and client service skills that help ensure each exchange is executed smoothly and correctly.This is an ideal position for someone who thrives in a structured environment, enjoys problem-solving, and can balance multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy and confidentiality.Essential Functions
