About Archer

Archer consults with investors who buy and sell investment properties of any scale. For investors performing a tax-deferred 1031 Exchange, we invest their proceeds into large scale, institutional grade commercial properties that provide a truly “hands off” management experience. They also provide the potential for higher cash flow, appreciation and depreciation. We have assisted hundreds of investors in 1031 Exchange, and developing their own diversified portfolio of institutional real estate.
