Title and escrow companies
You already close the sale. An affiliated intermediary holds the proceeds and closes the purchase too. Regent's escrow directory, closing instructions and secure links for escrow officers fit the way your people work.

Add a 1031 businessbeside the one you run.
Your clients already sell investment property through you. A qualified intermediary keeps their exchange in the family, and the work fits teams that already handle closings, trust money and deadlines. Regent gives the new business its controls on day one.
Three kinds of firm
The same work, from different starting points.
Banks and trust companies
Exchange funds are deposits you'd like to hold, and examiners expect segregation, dual control and a record. Regent gives you a ledger per exchange, an approval policy and an audit log that can't be edited.
Real estate attorneys
Clients ask you who should hold their proceeds. A separately organized intermediary lets you answer. Regent runs the files, the documents your firm drafts, and the deadlines.
Controls from the first file
What a new intermediary needs, already built.
- Exchange funds recorded per exchange, with the account structure on every receipt
- Two to five approvals on every payout, and wire instructions verified by callback
- Release dates that respect the regulation's limits on the exchanger's access to funds
- Identity verification and sanctions screening on every exchanger and signer
- Your exchange agreement, your letterhead, your portal
- An append-only history of every file for your auditors and your bond and insurance carriers
Several states regulate exchange facilitators, and their statutes often call for bonding, insurance and written authorization before funds move. Regent’s controls are designed with that kind of rule in mind; your counsel confirms what applies to you.
Before you start
What you bring, and what Regent brings.
You bring the intermediary entity, an exchange agreement your counsel has reviewed, the fidelity bond and insurance your states require, the bank account that holds exchange funds, and people to run the files and approve payouts. Regent brings the system they work in. Our guide to starting a qualified intermediary walks through each piece.
Straight answers
Questions processors ask
- Can our existing staff run exchanges?
- Yes, as processors and admins. Regent's flow tells them what each file needs next, and its stops catch what an experienced coordinator would.
- Can the bank be the one holding exchange funds?
- Yes. Regent doesn't hold money; your firm's accounts do, wherever you bank. Regent records the money and controls the payouts.
- Does Regent connect to our core or our title production system?
- Not today. Regent stands on its own, without a connection to your core or production software.
- Is the portal in our name?
- Yes: your firm's name, logo and colors on the portal and every email.
