Although i knew it was time to make a move, my biggest fear was to sell & then not find something to purchase. Donna wrote a great bio on us for our purchase & then proceeded to get our Victorian sold. She went above& beyond to get the job done. The ladies behind the scene were just as competent!
It was a sincere pleasure to have Donna Baker represent the listing, staging and selling of this home. Donna is very knowledgeable about Real Estate, great with people, conscientious and helpful in putting everything together and make a deal happen. She has worked with our family on numerous occasions where she has always been successful in selling each property and we have always been very pleased with her professionalism. Thank you Donna for all the extra hard work you put in to this sale and for your wonderful assistant Kim as well.
Donna was engaged, innovative and responsive throughout the inexplicably protracted sale of our historic home in Pasadena. She knows the neighborhood intimately and played a very personal role in marketing it. During this summer and autumn's long spates of 90-plus-degree weather, she held four open houses and drew hundreds of prospective buyers, advertised far and wide and even served as a docent when our home was on the Craftsman Weekend tour and already in escrow. I can highly recommend Donna for her devotion to her work and attention to clients' needs and desires.
My husband and I have known Donna for close to 10 years and she has always been our go-to agent whenever we have considered buying or selling a home. She is personable yet professional, reliable yet flexible with all of the demands, paperwork, and red tape that accompany the escrow process. She is exemplary in clarifying the sometimes confusing terminology of all the documents that constitute a real estate transaction. In addition, Donna has always been instantly responsive to our questions and concerns regarding our real estate needs, helping us with everything from deadline extensions to home inspections. We would definitely recommend Donna, along with her team members, Kim and Millie, for their efficiency, hard work, and desire to assist us with all of our real estate needs. They make a great team, warm-hearted, and down to earth.
Donna was professional and punctual. She upheld all of her initial commitments throughout the full escrow process. Her and her team were always eager to help, listen, and provide any material/information requested. They even scheduled a meeting at the close of escrow with the seller and I to discuss all the intricacies of the house. Great experience and love the new home!
I have always said that if we ever needed a realtor, I would only use Donna Baker!! She has a tremendous amount of knowledge about historic homes in Monrovia and we only wanted to look at historic homes. She was extremely patient in our search for our dream home. She brought a buyer to us and navigated both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home! She worked diligently to get our escrow closed quickly!! She is patient, quick to resolve issues and answer questions. She is so easy to work with and truly a wonderful person!
Upon retiring, we decided to relocate and found a new home that we needed to perform on immediately. We called Donna, and she had our Monrovia house listed and sold to qualified buyers in two weeks. She is the ultimate real estate professional. Donna knows how to market a home, hold an effective open house, deal with the paperwork, and communicate clearly. Her many years of service to the preservation community (Historic Preservation Commission and MOHPG), gives her the background and knowledge to work with buyers and sellers of vintage houses as well as contemporary homes.
Donna was the listing agent for the house we bought in Monrovia. During our search for a house my wife and I had focused our efforts in Friendly Hills, Whittier, but the listing in Monrovia was too attractive. It took multiple visits to the property before we finally put an offer, our indecisiveness almost cost us the house since another buyer had come into the picture. Donna worked extremely well with our agent, making it possible for us to finally close escrow. It was a long and tedious process (the result of many delays from the sale of our previous home), but Donna was accommodating, patient, understanding, and a true professional from beginning to end. Our own agent had nothing but good things to say about her. Our agent (and close friend) has since relocated to another state, and if we should ever need a new agent, Donna will be the first in our list. We highly recommend her!
