The 180-day exchange period is a fixed clock, not a scope that can be re-bid once the seller signs the relinquished property closing statement. This service manages the closing package — title, lender, qualified intermediary, and escrow deliverables — so a Park City replacement acquisition closes inside that window instead of stalling on an unresolved line item.
The window opens on the date the relinquished property closes and runs concurrently with the 45-day identification period, not after it. It ends at 180 calendar days or the investor's tax return due date for that year, whichever comes first — there is no administrative extension for weekends, holidays, or a slow lender, short of a formally declared IRS disaster relief notice covering the transaction.
Because the clock does not pause, the closing package has to be built backward from day 180 the same way a bid schedule is built backward from a hard completion date, with every submittal dated against that fixed endpoint rather than against a preferred pace.
Park City closings carry line items a standard single-family sale does not. Condo-hotel and fractional units near the resort base areas require HOA or association estoppel letters before a title company will close, and those can take longer to turn around in peak ski season than in the shoulder months. Main Street storefront buildings often carry historic-overlay or use-restriction language that has to be cleared before the lender releases funds.
The winter surge around the Sundance Film Festival compresses local title and lender bandwidth in January, which is exactly the stretch when many exchanges opened in the prior summer or fall are approaching their 180-day deadline. A closing package built for Park City has to account for that seasonal bottleneck rather than assume year-round turnaround speed.
Kimball Junction light-industrial and flex-space acquisitions bring a different set of line items, since those buildings more often carry existing tenant leases that need estoppel certificates of their own, separate from any HOA paperwork. A closing schedule that treats a Kimball Junction industrial purchase the same as a Main Street condo purchase will miss that tenant-estoppel step until it becomes a last-minute scramble.
No. The count runs on calendar days, including weekends and federal holidays, and only ends earlier if the investor's tax filing due date arrives first. Any extension request has to come from a formally declared IRS disaster relief notice, not from a scheduling inconvenience.
The deadline itself does not move, so a closing package for a January or February target should build in extra lead time for title and lender turnaround during that stretch rather than assume the same pace as a summer closing.
The closing can be delayed while the estoppel is outstanding, which is why it should be requested as soon as the property is identified rather than after the purchase contract is signed, giving the association enough runway before the deadline tightens.
The qualified intermediary holds the relinquished property proceeds throughout, and the investor should not have signing authority or access to that account; the closing package routes funds directly from the QI to the replacement closing, not through the investor.
Yes. The exact 180-day and tax-filing-due-date interaction should be confirmed with the investor's own tax advisor or the qualified intermediary before relying on any calendar produced outside those two sources.
