"Client sold " 

Has s/he touched the cash?  Or, did s/he park it with a facilitator while looking for the replacement property?

If s/he touched (as in had access to; was deposited into her/his checking account) then NO, a §1031 exchange is off the table.

BTW, it's 45 days to identify, 180 days to actually acquire the replacement property.

He MAY. We need much more info to say CAN. 

Here is a 1 hour free CPE course https://www.cpaacademy.org/webinars/a0D1A00000zNZF6UAO

I don't think it will give you all you need, but it might be a start.
