Independent advice, institutional execution.
Baker 1031 Investments is an independent advisory firm. We pair that independence with the infrastructure of an established broker-dealer and its affiliated registered investment adviser — so clients get objective guidance and the execution, speed, and due-diligence rigor of an institutional platform.
The execution stack

Baker 1031 builds the strategy and the portfolio, working for the investor rather than any single sponsor.

Securities are offered through Aurora Securities — providing compliance oversight, principal review, and transaction processing.
Advisory & RIA capability
