James went out of his way to make this process as easy as it comes. Buying a new home is very stressful and scary — James took his time with no pressure. We now live in our dream home, in our dream neighborhood. Thanks to James Baker.
Melissa L.Zillow review
He is one of the best for the job — really knowledgeable. He helped me and my family get our dream home and stayed in contact throughout everything, even after we signed the contract. I would highly recommend him whether you need to sell or buy a house.
Tony S.Zillow review
James did a great job selling my property. His experience showed with every situation that came up. Definitely recommend.

I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with James Baker Jr. We were provided personalized service, assistance, and help in every aspect of both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our former home.
Lamar B.Google review
I would like to thank James Baker Jr for assisting us with the purchase of our new home and the sale of our former home. James went above and beyond what my perception of a realtor should do for his clients.
Anita B.Google review
I ran a selection process amongst 5 realtors and James came out on top. From the beginning he was honest, open, and knowledgeable of the current market — during the turbulent part of 2020. I let James take the lead and followed his guidance. He was rock steady. The whole experience was painless and, thanks to James, extremely financially successful. Pick him, then sit back and do what he suggests.

Very professional, and put us first at all times. We couldn't have been happier with the smooth transition.

I've sold two properties with James and purchased one — and I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. Sold for more than I thought both times, and he helped me and my wife find the perfect place to start our family. James has industry experience and knowledge that is second to none, combined with a top-notch work ethic. He is my go-to realtor.
Cory W.Realtor.com review
I want to thank James for the wonderful job he did for me and my family. He didn't just find and research the properties — at the viewing he checked the AC unit, oven, foundation, plumbing, irrigation, and appliances. James really cares what house you're purchasing and makes sure it's in good condition. From first contact to even after the purchase, he's there for you.
Darrick EvansRealtor.com review
James has listed multiple homes and represented me in the purchase of several homes over the years. Very few realtors are more knowledgeable or more responsive. He's trustworthy and as hard working as they come.
Nathan WhiteRealtor.com review
James is hands down the best!! A genuinely good human being who goes above and beyond to get your home and property in tip-top shape for selling. We've used him to sell homes twice and to buy land. You won't find another person who will literally put in sweat equity like James. Cannot recommend him more!!

Real estate broker James Baker did an outstanding job. Our house sold for full asking price in only 6 days, after it had languished under a different realtor for the prior 6 months. We were kept in the loop throughout — particularly when, on short notice, the buyer's paperwork had to go back through underwriting and two-state legal review due to a 2024 federal law change. Our closing was delayed a few days, but James got us fully compensated for expenses incurred. James was a formidable negotiator and gave stellar customer service!

There aren't enough stars to say how awesome it was to work with James and the team! They helped me sell my home in less time and kept more money in my pocket — no staging, no extra fluff — for FULL asking price. If you've tried other realtors and your home still isn't selling, give James a try. You will NOT be disappointed — you'll be pleasantly surprised. The whole process from start to finish was seriously top-notch.

James was a God-send! Being transparent, there were times we wanted to give up, but James kept pushing and saw the light at the end of the tunnel! He was MJ with 3 seconds to go, Brady in the 4th quarter. If you put in the work, James WILL be in the trenches with you! 💯

James is awesome!
Nancy I.Google review
Our agent made suggestions on things we could do to increase our selling price and provided vendor names. We received excellent service — always available for questions, negotiated a good sale price, and coordinated everything including the closing professionally.

The listing agent worked diligently to get us to closing. She communicated often and openly, creating a great rapport.
Mike L.Client of James Baker's team
When you call, you'll speak to James and the team — they explain the process in depth, and if you have questions they make sure you understand before you hang up. The process was quick and easy; the team made sure our file was complete so there wasn't any back-and-forth on documents. Once you get your approval, you immediately get to house shop.
