As my wife and I are from another country where things are done differently, James Baker was instrumental to our understanding of the America housing market. We relied heavily upon his advice and opinion, we really trusted him especially as he became familiar with our persona, likes, dislikes and needs. James Baker always followed through with his promises and we found he was always willing to go out to show us houses. We asked a ton of questions and he was very happy to answer them, every single time without hesitation, complaints and gave us very appropriate responses and explanations. We found the home we purchased, it just so happened to be the weekend James was very sick but he never give up looking for our dream home. Yes we would use James Baker again for sure, with him its like talking to your friend who is very qualified to give his advice, we were very comfortable with him (we actually left another company for James Baker). I am very impatient and ask a lot of questions and he just took me and my wife in his stride, he was always calm and willing to offer his advice.
I must say James Baker knows his stuff. He knows the Antelope Valley area better than anyone I have encountered( I have worked with 17 real estate agents) and, his personality is out of this world. James introduced my family and I to our home Jan 29th, not long after that (April 1st) we were getting the keys to our home. He negotiated a great deal on a great side of town. My only piece of feedback for James is his responsiveness. There were days I had to call him several times, or he would say he would get back to me about something and didn't until a few days later. I did not feel he respected my time throughout the process. For anyone looking for a knowledgeable real estate agent with amazing negotiating skills, James Baker is the man for the job. Be prepared for the poor communication but hey, nothing is perfect. Thanks again James!!!
James was born to be a real estate salesman. In addition to being extremely personable, highly motivated and masterfully knowledgable of the field, he has an uncanny ability to find exactly what you want. And no one can negotiate better. I have bought and sold homes with James over a 20-year period and have not found a realtor who comes close to his skill-set, his awesome energy, and his dedication to his clients. James is the realtor to hire if you are buying or selling real estate in the Antelope Valley. As a retired teacher, I respect competence, integrity and dedication. James has these qualities in abundance.
James Baker started out as our realtor but now I can honestly call him family. From the first time we met he made us feel very comfortable. He went above and beyond all our expectations. He is very experienced and knowledgeable. I highly recommend James Baker because he is honest, and dependable. We never felt pressured and he took care of us from beginning to end. During our journey we always felt we were in good hands with James Baker. James Baker had our best interest at heart and found us our dream home that met all our needs. James Baker is not only a great realtor, he is an awesome person.
When We started looking for a home we went on all the online home sites and then drove to the home that we liked we found out quick that this was a waste of time James Baker saved us from this James came highly referred to me by one of my customers as a local businessman I know how important referrals are and that when you give a referral you're saying I would trust this guy 100% James has a system that you input all your criteria and it sends out homes every day to your email address this cuts down on looking at houses that your not interested in I have lived and worked in this valley my whole life my wife is a nurse here as well I know plenty of real estate agents and we had many choices after about 10 minutes of speaking to James I knew he was the right fit for us his knowledge is unsurpassed we had to do a special construction loan for the home we chose which required a lot of extra paperwork James was right there for all of it he even helped us get a contractor for the work because we chose a distressed home I don't know what I could say about James that hasn't already been said in other reviews But to sum it up in a short phrase if you're looking for the best James Baker is it! Thank you, James! Sean Wagner Service Manager Alan Jackson Pools and Regina Wagner RN ICU Palmdale Regional Hospital
When I originally decided to sell my house I already had a realtor in mind because a lot of my friends are realtors but that quickly changed when I first met James Baker. He came to me on a referral from the neighbor across the street who had just purchased the house through James. His first statement to me was "Please give me 10 minutes of your time to tell you a little about myself and how I conduct business to see if I can't earn your business". Having dealt with so many realtors in prior purchases and having friends that were realtors I thought I was not going to hear anything different then what I had already heard. After that initial discussion I was sold on using James as the Realtor to sell my house for several reasons...1) He was very honest and personable, 2) Offered a multi-structured rate that was very reasonable and afforded me the opportunity to earn a credit on the sale, 3) was very knowledgeable of the area as he has been a resident himself his entire life, 4) Was very informative of the various options for listing properties, 5) Was very upfront and straight to the point, 6) Very professional mannerisms, 7) Multi registered to list in multiple areas, and lastly after he was done making his pitch while I was digesting the information, his continued explanation of who he was and what he was about was so down to earth that you had no choice but to feel totally comfortable...Like you had known him since early childhood. A vast morality difference from other realtors I know because they were all about the quick sale and how much money they were going to make....James was about the quality of the sale. Throughout the entire selling process James always made himself available, regardless the time of day/night, to answer any questions and thoroughly explained every step in the process. The constant interaction kept both of us on the same sheet of music working towards the ultimate goal - a quality and satisfying sale for not just myself but the buyer as well. I own several houses but this is the first one I have sold and James made the entire process stress free and pleasurable. Everything he had conveyed to me to initially earn my business was on the money and he did not waver even a single data point. I would highly recommend him to sell anyone's house because you're not just getting a realtor but a realtor who truly cares about his clients, employs quality service and goes the extra distance that I feel most other realtor's wouldn't which sets him apart from the rest. I look forward to using him on future sells and/or purchases.
My story about James Baker Realty began when I called him on June 24, 2015 after my wife read his reviews and his customers raved that he was more than just a GREAT realtor, he was friend for life. We had already interviewed a few realtors at this juncture and had basically made a decision already that we would hire one of them. However, something told me to give James Baker a shot. I called James and immediately he told me he loved my home as he had sold several homes in my neighborhood in his 28 years of experience and that he would have no problem selling my home immediately as long as it was "camera ready." He also told me and I quote, “I am fired up to sell your home!” James arrived at our home and immediately after he walked through the front door he insisted on checking out every inch of my house and property. I was immediately impressed by his extensive knowledge of homes and home building techniques; bull-nose drywall, vaulted ceilings, and the like! He wrote down everything! He knows everything about houses. None of the other realtors that I interviewed (5 or 6) went through the house with such detail and overall enthusiasm to do the job. Finally we sit down at the kitchen table and he opens his bag to get out the research he had done on our home. When he gets out his folder it is for another home?! Understandable, he had been at the hospital all night with his wife and newborn baby and had come directly from the hospital for the listing appointment. But what followed really impressed me. Unfazed by having the wrong information for me, he quickly asked for a laptop and went onto a website where he completed his research, pulled up all of the comparables, and gave me the correct price on my home right then and there. James Baker's honesty, integrity and belief in God also won me over to ultimately hire him. Having a realtor that I can trust is of great importance to me. Like I said earlier my wife and I had basically decided on another realtor as we were impressed by the interview we had with them. However, during the interview I asked how many listings they currently had and they told me 11 or 12. When I looked at their website they had only 3. I asked James the same question and the answer he gave me was exactly what I found when I looked at his website. If you are looking for a realtor you can trust James is your guy. He will also tell you what is wrong with your house along with suggestions of how to correct the problems. Don't get all weepy and hurt when he makes suggestions, just do what he says and your home will sell immediately. James is even good at making suggestions to improve landscaping. As James stated in my listing I had a "lush" backyard. It was very nicely landscaped except for one small part. The previous owner had a small waterfall and pond in a 10' x 10' area next to the back patio that I never had time to renovate and it didn't look very good. Right when he walked out to the back yard he suggested that I make it an herb garden. The next day I gave a majority of the river rock to my father and promptly made a beautiful herb garden. Do you know how many prospective buyers raved about the herb garden? All of them of course. James Baker is also a great writer. He did a wonderful job writing up our listing. His grasp of the English language and his ability to use the written word to make your house sound as wonderful as possible is second to none. The listing sounded so good that after reading it I almost didn't want to sell my home anymore! We followed all of James’ advise and priced the house as he told us to and we started receiving offers immediately. We received and accepted a full price offer after only 4 days on the market. James guided us through the whole process of selling our home with an amazing amount of patience all the while treating us like family. Unfortunately, near the end of our escrow the 1st buyer dropped out and we had to start from scratch. So James, being the great realtor that he is, suggested that we raise the price on our house because of the tremendous amount of action we saw at the previous price. Once again 4 days went by and we received another full price offer. The decades of experience that James Baker possesses came into play many times during the sale of our home and James always made the right call. Not only is James Baker a great realtor he is a wonderful human being and like the reviews that my wife read had stated, he will be a friend for life. During and since the sale of our home I have found a new golfing buddy and a wonderful friend. If you want to sell your home right away and you want a great realtor and a wonderful person to do the job, select James Baker. You won’t be disappointed. Oh yeah, one more thing. When James comes by your house (always on time) have a fresh pot of coffee ready for him. He really enjoys a good cup of Joe!
As a longtime investor, now on my 85th house, I've come to greatly respect James both as a realtor and as a person. His integrity and forthrightness has made it a worry-free process during the many properties he has sold for me. His knowledge of the market is always up to the minute, and his vast pool of buyers has always amazed me. You want a home sold or to buy one, call James. There is none better in this extremely competitive, high-stakes business, period.
