There is nothing better than receiving sincere thanks from my clients for a job well done. Some of my clients have shared their thoughts with you below.

James Baker is ethical:

I needed to sell an undeveloped parcel of land near Lancaster, CA with a low market value. Finding an agent willing to handle the task was difficult. Some agents I contacted would not take the job. Some would take it, but were demanding a flat fee regardless of sale price - some of which seemed like they could result in a net loss for me. Then, I found James. He took the job at normal commission rates, even when I repeatedly asked him, "are you sure?? it's not a lot of money. I really don't mind paying more than standard commission". His reply, "taking all cases is part of the job... Otherwise, how are you ever going to sell the property?" Honestly, before finding James, that was a real concern.

James works A LOT:

During the 7 months that James helped me, it seemed like he was working non-stop. He juggles countless buyers/sellers/corporate relocations simultaneously. It was not uncommon to receive emails from him well after midnight, 7 days a week! Geez, James, my case isn't that important....but I appreciate the thought.

James knows his stuff and communicates it well:

Admittedly, I didn't have a high opinion of the value of the property. Based on previous sales of surrounding properties, I had a rough idea of what I hoped I could get. James kept insisting on listing at a much higher price than what I was looking for. Even though I knew sales of vacant land can take a really long time, as the months passed, I was getting impatient. Even with the steady reductions that I was insisting on, the ask price was still way above what I wanted. After numerous discussions of strategy and pricing, I was reluctantly overridden.

James is patient, even with neurotic clients:

In the end, the property sold faster than I expected, and at a higher price than I expected. Whoops, James was right after all!(imagine that...) I probably shouldn't have been pushing so hard to reduce the price. Sorry James. Closing was a breeze(at least for me). I had never sold vacant land before, so I had no idea what to expect and was full of questions. James patiently guided me through the process, answered all my questions(and there were a lot of them), hooked me up with an escrow company, and that was that.

James can be trusted:

Admittedly, I came into this relationship with a lot of suspicion. Why is he working so cheap? Why is he insisting on listing so high? Does he really want to sell this property, or is he just trying to increase his book? Is he even trying to sell it?.... James has proven all my suspicions wrong on all accounts. The answer to all the questions is exactly what he emphatically said during our first conversation: "I'm doing it because its right"

I would not have found the perfect home for myself without his expertise and tenacious ability to keep looking after almost 60 home visits! Due to the particular requests I had, I was a difficult person to find a home for. James actually kept me sane during this extremely frustrating time. He was understanding, available, and intuitive to my wants and desires! I would heartily recommend James for anyone looking for home in the Antelope Valley. James cares about his clients which you don't find very much these days!

One of the reasons we picked James was because of his down to earth professionalism. He worked with us in both selling our house and purchasing a new one. He walked us through all the paperwork and his suggestions were invaluable to us. We met his family and have enjoyed their company during this process. Because of this we have new friends in our lives. We are so happy we chose to have James Baker represent us. James Baker is the agent to go with.

James Baker, is the agent to go with. We were looking for a place to rent, saw a sign with his name on it, called him we asked him if he can showed us the property, with no doubt he drove where we were on the same day with no excuses to show us the property, by next day he had everything ready and checked out, in two days we already had keys on hand to rent the house, what a professional way to help us, we are truly thankfully we found him, and will definitely go for a buy a home in the future with him with no doubt. Thank you James for all your help, your experience, professionalism, and patience. You are the best!!

They say everything happens for a reason and after dealing with so many rude agents that never get back to you, it was such a relief to find James! It's clear he is extremely knowledgeable in what he does. Not only is real estate his passion, helping people is clearly a priority to him. We are so happy to have had the pleasure to work with James! We found our dream home through him and because of this wonderful experience we will always look to James for any of our real estate needs!!

Great, knowledgeable. Very willing to help find the right house at the right price in the right location. Knows the local market very well and was very helpful moving from out of the area.

We have had the best time with James and would recommend him to everyone we know looking to buy a house. He was able to find a house that fit both of our needs, within our budget. We are still pretty new to the area, James pointed us in the right direction. He is very knowledgeable and has a great personality. If it wasn't for James we would not have the home we are so fortunate to call home! Also he did a great job on keeping us updated! He is very hard working and has a great personality! You can tell he loves his job.

When looking for a Real Estate agent I interviewed 6 different agents trying to get the best advice to sell my moms house. James Baker came in and from the beginning offered sound advice and treated me as a member of his family. If you have any doubts about his ability just look at his numbers, he is one of the top performing realtors in the area for multiple years and he utilizes that knowledge and experience for his clients benefit. James has a solid team of people that he can access for any and all his clients benefit. Throughout the sale process his recommendations added value and helped us get the best price. I would recommend James to everyone I know and I will turn to him in the future for any deals or advice within the Antelope Valley. It was a pleasure to work with some one as professional and experienced as James.

There's a real estate agent who likes his job. Certainly makes a difference. During the sale, James even provided wall photos and other selling props after we had none.

I found James from a Zillow review and am so glad I did. His real estate experience is top notch and his contacts with those we needed services from during the process was just amazing. James seems to know everyone. His attention to detail and going above and beyond to assist us was excellent. We had a unique situation and James was there to meet our needs. I highly recommend James and can't say enough positive things about him and his services. If I ever need a realtor again, I'll know who to call.
