What is a
Qualified Intermediary/Accommodator?


A Qualified Intermediary/Accommodator has several areas involving tax-deferred exchanges where he is not able to advise you. The IRS requires that he remains an independent third party to your exchange transaction. In that capacity, he is a qualified party that can facilitate your exchange transaction. A disqualified party is defined by the IRS as an agent, if the person in the previous two years has served as the exchanger's employee, attorney, accountant, investment banker/broker or real estate agent/ broker. Also disqualified are parties which are related lineally or as siblings or through a ten percent or greater interest in a business sense.

We do suggest you always consult your attorney and tax advisor for specific details regarding your financial situation. Then contact a Qualified Intermediary to handle your exchange transaction.

Please note that Watson Realty Corp. is not a Qualified Intermediary nor is affiliation with any Qualified Intermediaries.
