Mark Archer

Investor in Southern California, United States

Howdy, my name is Mark Archer.

I am a fan of technology, entrepreneurship, and outdoors.

I’m also interested in skiing and I blog about real estate, tech, and the equity markets

I’m a retired Air Force officer and former Navy and Air National Guard pilot, grateful for 26.5 years of service and over 6,000 hours in the air. These days, I’m focused less on flying and more on exploring ways to build long-term wealth through alternative investments.

I’ve founded multiple startups, including Red Trolley Consulting, Doddstreet.com eRealty and hold an MBA that shaped my approach to operational strategy and investment analysis. These days, I apply those lessons in the real world as I invest in real estate, options, and decentralized finance.

I blog about real estate, tech trends, and equity markets with a mission to help others think beyond traditional financial systems.

Want to collaborate, compare notes, or share an idea?

If you're exploring alternative investments, raising capital, or pivoting from the traditional 9-to-5, I bring a unique blend of operational experience, founder insight, and a proven eye for spotting unconventional wealth-building opportunities.

Whether you're seeking a thought partner, looking to vet a deal, or want real-world insights from someone who's made the leap from military service to investor life — I’m happy to share what I’ve learned

What clients say about me

Mark is a great Real Estate Consultant, I use this term rather than Realtor because of how he works. Mark is all about facilitating decisions for others whether its buying, selling or investing. He knows the San Diego market and works very hard to have market information on all areas within the County. I have been in the Real Estate industry for fourteen years and can say that Mark is at the top of the class. I highly recommend working with Mark Archer for all your real estate needs.

The amount of knowledge Mark has is absolutely incredible! Mark is such a wealth of information and is continuously ahead of the curve. I am so grateful for all of the awesome work he has done on my Facebook and Instagram ads for my small business and all of the success he continues to bring me. Mark is so easy to work with, so knowledgable and has such a special, unique, easy way to explain and understand all that is doing and working on! I HIGHLY recommend Mark!!

I have been involved with more than my share of real estate transactions, and I am posting here because Mark stands out among the very best Realtors I've encountered. He's professional and trustworthy and honest. Like most mortgage professionals or Loan Originators, I think we have a rather strict set of criteria that we want when working with partner agents. When I first met Mark, he hit the ground running. He understood how our clients' needs fit into the market, and he showed them various com

A few years ago Mark was my Buyer's Agent. My husband and I interviewed a few Realtors but felt Mark was the best fit for us. I was impressed with Mark's involvement in the community, the depth of knowledge he has in the real estate market and personable demeanor. Even now my husband still enjoys hanging out with Mark every few months when they have a chance. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a Realtor.

Mark Archer has helped us in two real estate transactions and has been A PLUS... He was "spot on" in every way---knowing the market in different areas, knowing the trends in different areas, and knowing how to buy and sell benefitting both parties in every way possible..He is honest and upbeat and was such a pleasure to work with, besides being thorough on every step. He found the perfect place for us on the first transaction, and when we wanted to sell a different place, we knew Mark was the on
