We have known and done business with Kathleen Lillie Baker for many years. Her expertise and overall knowledge of the real estate business is outstanding. It is so nice to do business with someone who has “your best interest” at heart and never her own bottom line. In this age of so many people unequipped to handle their business, whatever it may be, Kathleen is the exception. Many, many times we have told her “just do what you think is best” and the result has always been to our advantage. Kathleen is always there for you, even after the transaction has been completed. Many times we have gone to Kathleen for advice about our properties after the purchase was made. She always makes herself available, to quickly address our needs. Anyone who is fortunate to be doing business with Kathleen Baker will be greatly blessed… We are about to put another property on the market with her and we are already confident in the outcome. If we can answer any questions for you, regarding what you can expect from Kathleen, as your real estate professional, please do not hesitate to call us.

All the best,

I have bought and sold real estate for the last 42 years in Michigan, Illinois, Florida and California. I worked with Kathleen Lillie Baker as a result of a referral by a friend of mine. She was moving from Michigan to California and did extensive research to locate just the right realtor and as a result, she found Kathleen. I began looking for properties in San Diego a few years before I actually purchased a property. Kathleen was always gracious and took me around to see many properties, even though she knew I might not buy for some time. Once I did decide to purchase, Kathleen did an excellent job from the beginning to the end of the process. I ultimately completed several real estate sale and purchase transactions with Kathleen as my broker representative. Each transaction resulted in a great experience. Kathleen is the consummate real estate professional, extremely smart, market savvy and gives meticulous attention to detail. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell properties in the Southern California market. Please call me at any time for further details.

I feel privileged to be in a position to write a testimonial about Kathleen Baker’s professional real estate service. During the early decline of the housing market, my wife and I relocated to the East coast due to a job transfer. Despite our own efforts and those of two reputable real estate agents in the local area, our property stood vacant for over a year. Each month we struggled with escalating living expenses, two mortgages and reduced cash flow while my wife continued her job search. This, coupled with learning a new job, was very stressful. With the San Diego property looming over our heads, we were looking at the blueprint for financial ruin. Things turned around when we started working with Kathleen. Without exaggeration, I can honestly say she represented the light at the end of the tunnel. She immediately employed a myriad of resources to give our property the right level of exposure. Kathleen’s approach had a sense of urgency and she stayed in constant communication with us throughout the whole process. Ms. Baker attracted a buyer and closed our sale in less than 3 months! To anyone seeking a personal touch, you will be very pleased at the level of experience and commitment you will receive from this extraordinary professional.

I have bought and sold many properties over the years and many realtors have been involved. Kathleen Baker is the best! She quickly focuses on her client’s needs, bringing knowledge to the table that only a very experienced and knowledgeable realtor is capable of doing. Ms. Baker is a “top-notch” communicator well informed on all the up-to-date real estate laws, she was very helpful providing information on the various school districts, transit systems and the upcoming changes in the various communities. You can always count on Kathleen to “personally” make the extra effort to ensure that all aspects of the sale or purchase is completed properly, down to the smallest detail. I am a client for life and highly recommend her for all real estate transactions.

To whom it may concern,

Kathleen has worked with us on three real estate transactions, two sales and one purchase. In all three cases we were very satisfied. She did an excellent job for us! On the sales we received timely offers at excellent prices and on the purchase we found the perfect house for us, in which we still live. In all cases the transactions went smoothly and quickly. We had no issues with the prospective buyers or the seller. Kathleen is very knowledgeable, professional, and a tireless worker who provides excellent service for her clients. We strongly recommend Kathleen to anyone desiring to purchase or sell a home.

I am certain that I am one of many that have had the pleasure of working with Kathleen to purchase and sell property. My experience was outstanding!!! Kathleen knew exactly what I wanted in a home and within a matter of a few days she was successful in identifying the perfect property. In addition, she quickly and efficiently found the right buyer for my property at a value above what I thought would be achieved. Kathleen personally handled each and every detail connected to my closings, start to finish. Her professionalism and enthusiasm is second to none. I whole heartedly recommend Kathleen if you are in the market to buy or sell. Thank you Kathleen for making the process so seamless!

It is my pleasure to provide a professional/personal recommendation for Kathleen Baker.

During a 20-year period of active real estate transactions, I worked with Kathleen as Buyer/Seller/Renter with transactions including custom homes, raw land and investment property. Millions of dollars with sometimes complex transactions were handled effectively and efficiently. In short, Kathleen is a knowledgeable, experienced real estate professional with high integrity and an extremely cordial approach. Her experience shines when difficulties arise that seemingly would prevent a deal from happening. Her strength is a positive personality which endears her to clients and establishes a friendship which endures for years. Her knowledge of the market is unsurpassed.

Kathleen enjoys my unqualified trust.
