Angela Baker has built her career around helping homeowners or their relatives prepare and sell homes when life circumstances strike. Her job is to manage and oversee the process of selling a home so that it is as painless as possible for those who are experiencing major life events or transitions. Selling a home takes tons of work, but Baker minimizes the efforts needed for the seller or their family.
Baker’s latest sale serves as an example of her incredible work. She was hired by a client whose brother had recently passed, and he needed to sell his brother’s house, a 90-minute drive away from his own home. The homeowner had lived in that house for over 50 years, much of his life. He had accumulated a large collection of art, books, furniture, and collectibles from his years of travel. Preparing the home for sale, managing the estate sale process, and then selling the home would be a massive undertaking, particularly for the client who was grieving the loss of his brother.
The client hired Baker for this job at a time when the market was beginning to shift away from sellers, when interest rates started climbing. Baker knew the client wanted to focus on his family and funeral planning rather than all the logistics of selling a home. She handled the entire job for the client. He only needed to approve or disapprove her recommendations. She worked quickly to get the house on the market, and got it under contract in two days for $28,000 over the asking price with no contingencies.

Baker has experience in the legal and financial services industry, which makes her uniquely equipped to juggle the many aspects of her work. She works with estate planning attorneys and other professional advisors to ensure all tasks are completed with the utmost care. She also takes charge of arranging estate sales, lining up contractors for house repairs and cleaning, improvements, debris removal, landscaping, staging, and marketing to ensure the home is ready to hit the market. But what sets her apart is her ability to handle these kinds of processes with the delicateness and care they deserve.
Baker knows that selling a home is an emotional decision in any circumstance and is often made much more emotional by the transitions her clients are navigating. She strives to be a trusted real estate partner whose work makes these transitions easier and results in a lasting positive impact on her clients’ lives and the lives of their families. She knows that many want to simply get rid of homes in times like these, but she is a real estate expert first and foremost and knows that strategic positioning and patience can pay off. She offers valuable advice to clients with the goal of maximizing their return while limiting their burden. Baker takes amazing care to honor her clients’ homes and the wishes of those that have hired her, using her expertise and empathetic approach to provide the best possible results.
