BlueLion 1031, a leading Qualified Intermediary serving real estate investors and commercial brokers across Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic region, is proud to announce the launch of Exchange+, a structured partner program designed to vertically integrate 1031 exchange services directly into commercial real estate brokerages. Exchange+ offers commercial brokers a compliant, turnkey solution to one of the most undermonetized opportunities in their business, the 1031 exchange, helping them generate new revenue streams, deepen client relationships, and deliver measurably greater value on every qualifying transaction.
With Exchange+, BlueLion 1031 continues its commitment to innovation by offering a professionally managed, compliance-first partnership framework that empowers brokerages to capture revenue from 1031 exchange activity already flowing through their pipelines. Whether a broker is working with individual investors executing a single-property swap or institutional clients managing complex multi-property portfolios, Exchange+ provides the infrastructure, expertise, and white-glove client service needed to handle every exchange with precision while the broker earns a meaningful share of QI revenues. Exchange+ is designed to minimize administrative friction for broker partners while preserving clear roles, written procedures, and appropriate client disclosures. Program compensation, where available, is governed by written agreements and is tied to documented services, disclosures, and applicable legal requirements.
“We are thrilled to introduce Exchange+, which reflects our dedication to meeting the evolving needs of today’s commercial real estate professionals,” said Nick Henault, Managing Director of BlueLion 1031. “The brokers we work with are already creating 1031 exchange opportunities every time they close a qualifying sale. Exchange+ gives them a coordinated framework for introducing clients to experienced exchange professionals while preserving transparency, client choice, and clearly defined roles.”
Exchange+ includes a dedicated BlueLion exchange coordinator assigned to each partner brokerage, co-branded client-facing materials, real-time transaction tracking, and a clearly defined revenue-sharing structure. Backed by BlueLion’s deep expertise in IRC §1031 compliance, multi-asset exchange structures, and reverse and improvement exchange strategies, Exchange+ sets a new standard for how Qualified Intermediaries and commercial brokerages work together.
