Experience, expertise, excellence: Argus Realty Investors is a premier provider of R.E. investments

Argus Realty Investors is a premier provider of commercial real estate investments, including tenant-in-common programs, private exchange programs and real estate funds. Argus Realty delivers value to its partners each and every day through a combination of innovative thinking and old-fashioned hard work. The Argus Realty executive team alone has more than 150 years of collective experience in acquiring, financing, and managing institutional grade investment properties, from high-rise office towers to enormous industrial parks. Rigorous due diligence and superior service has helped build one of the most successful firms of its kind, with more than $1.5 billion acquired, more than 8.8 million s/f currently under management and over 1,200 investors. Experience, Expertise, Excellence Since 2001, Argus Realty has been a driving force in the growth of tax-deferred property exchanges, real estate funds, and other investment programs. The firm has also been a strong voice for ethical standards to protect the interests of investors. It is no coincidence that the president of the firm is also the founding president of the Tenant-In-Common Association (TICA), a nonprofit trade group dedicated to the highest levels of professional conduct. Argus Realty devotes countless hours to the analysis of each potential investment by scrutinizing the surrounding market, factoring in the potential leasing conditions, establishing tenant relationships, and of course, conducting full due diligence on the property itself. After all, the properties may be made of marble, glass and steel, but Argus Realtys' business is built on something they hope proves even more lasting: the firms' relationships with its partners. Whether you are selling commercial real estate, looking for replacement property in a tax-deferred exchange, or simply considering ways to enhance and add stability to your investment portfolio, Argus Realty has a nationwide network of experts ready to help you achieve your goals. Tenancy-In-Common Argus Realty's tenant-in-common (TIC) program allows §1031 exchangers to replace their current investment property with a fractional interest in a professionally managed, institutional-grade property. This has emerged as a preferred vehicle for §1031 exchanges, since it allows owners to defer taxable gains from sales of existing investment real estate, while escaping day-to-day management headaches. A typical TIC exchange would involve no more than 35 investors combining their equity to purchase an office building, apartment complex, or retail center. Each investor holds title to their pro rata portion of the property as a tenant-in-common. Argus Realty, the real estate sponsor, will negotiate the purchase of the property, obtain the financing and manage the property on behalf of the investors. A TIC exchange can allow you to share in both the benefits and burdens of ownership. This includes cash flow, tax benefits, and appreciation of large institutional-grade real estate, without having to personally oversee its daily operation. If you think you could benefit from a §1031 exchange, please consult with your tax advisor. Richard Gee is the chairman and CEO of Argus Realty.

Maxwell Drever is a principal Investor of Argus Realty. He has been a value-added real estate investor for more than 30 years. He is known as a contrarian investor, with a national reputation based on his successful strategy of buying tired, sometimes troubled, but always well-located properties and repositioning them as affordable B+ housing. In 1997, in one of the largest private-to-public transactions to date, Drever's portfolio of 18,000 units was merged into Walden Residential Properties, Inc. at a value of $670 million. He retired until February 2000, when the Olympus Group of Dallas acquired Walden's outstanding shares, terminating the non-compete clause Walden had with Drever and allowing him to once again seek new, value-added real estate investment opportunities for his family and fellow investors.
