“Selling or buying a home can be very stressful so when my circumstances changed and I decided to sell my home Mike and Penelope came to my rescue. They are totally professional. The real estate business is not part time with them but a 24-7 job. They are experienced and excel in the Santa Fe market, which at best is a challenge, especially if you have a high end house to sell. They calmly handled everything for me and were not thrown in the least if a problem occurred. They also returned all my calls on the day I made them and honored all my demands on how to show my home. You could not have a better team in Santa Fe. Mike is also a superb negotiator.” -Freya Schneider

“Mike and Penelope helped me sell my home and purchase a replacement property within a month and a half from listing. Throughout the process, they were responsive, enthusiastic and fair. Mike and Penelope added value by offering advice and making suggestions throughout the transaction. Because of their professionalism and knowledge, both the sale and purchase went quickly and smoothly. Thanks in large part to Mike and Penelope, everyone involved was pleased with the outcome. I will certainly use Mike and Penelope again, and can refer my friends with confidence.” -Julia Peters

“Mike and Penelope have represented us on the buy or sell side of five properties in Santa Fe – We have experienced their outstanding knowledge of the market, outstanding service and outstanding execution.”
-Jim & Gail Goodwin

“When we decided to put our Santa Fe home on the market we contacted Mike Baker and Penelope Vasquez. We knew that realtors need to be enthusiastic about their work and that past performance does count and we were not disappointed. We found Mike and Penelope to be intelligent, warm, prompt and highly informed, the very reasons why they are so successful. They truly work as a team, keeping each other informed, so that speaking to either one was like having spoken to both. During the time that it took to sell our property, Penelope and Mike were supportive and caring, making us feel that our home was foremost on their minds. And when the property was under contract, they took care of any and all contingencies, contacted all agencies and finally accompanied us to the very moment of closing, overseeing that all was in order, as it was.”
-Saul & Ursula Balagura

“Mike and Penelope have handled 2 home sales since we moved to Santa Fe and provided a full compliment of services to make the experience a very good one. We were especially impressed with their marketing expertise and web site services. We would certainly recommend them to our friends.” -Charles & Nancy Unfried

“Mike Baker and Penelope Vasquez provide a level of service far exceeding what many others provide, yet they all charge similar fees. Having both purchased and sold homes with them, they do their homework well as relates to the market, know all the other key players in the business, follow up without being asked, attend all showings and do an excellent job monitoring, controlling, and communicating all the activities that occur in the process.” -Ken Eich

“We have worked with Mike Baker and his very capable team on both purchases and sales. They get the job done. They have a strong understanding of the market. On the Seller side, they timely communicate about prospects and showings. On the Buyer side, they identify properties that suit the need and always fully disclose the relevant and important details that the Buyer needs to know. The client, whether Seller or Buyer, feels very confident that they are in good hands and that value is added by “Team Baker”. We like to think of them as focused on the Three C’s, Character, Competence and Commitment. We would add to that both Honesty and Integrity, making them a credit to their industry. In short, we are Mike Baker fans.”
-Andrew & Susan Weinstein

“We were delighted to have the house sell quickly for a price that we felt was very fair. Because of the long distance nature of our deal you handled everything and we slept well at night. You are pros.!!!!!!!”
-Myrna & Ron Ruskin

“As working parents with two small children and one on the way, it was a delight to work with Mike and Penelope at Sotheby’s. They took the anxiety out of a normally stressful process, and we were able to sell our home quickly and at a very agreeable price to all parties involved. The personal care and attention given to us from pre-listing through closing, and the smoothness of the transaction, were a dream come true.”
-Wendy & Peter Trevisani

“Mike Baker and Penelope Vasquez have been our agents in Santa Fe for about three years now. Before we met them, we were a bit intimidated by their reputation as some of the most professional and productive people in the business. I wasn’t sure our first transaction was big enough to get them excited. On the theory that they could only say no, we invited them to look at listing our property. It was a huge comfort to meet them, they are consummate professionals; we got as much attention for the sale of our vacation home as if we had been buying a mansion. They were always available to us – night, day, weekends, holidays. Their advice was wise and considered. They are fair and open and, above all, they are honest. Mike and Penelope are more than just the agents we will always work with in Santa Fe, they have become real advisors and friends. Buying or selling a home is an important transaction for most of us; it involves more than money, it involves our emotions. Mike Baker and Penelope Vasquez recognize and respect this.” -Paul & Ting Turney

“We own and operate a residential construction company, Madera Builders LLC, in Northern New Mexico, and Mike Baker and Penelope Vasquez of Sotheby’s have been representing us in our real estate transactions for years. We believe they are among the top professionals in their business and we know each transaction will be handled fairly and professionally. We always know Mike and Penelope will know the current market situation and guide us with their up to date knowledge of the real estate market regardless if we are buying or selling.” -Gerry & Linda Barber

Mike and Penelope sold my house to a buyer from another world. They asked everything to be done except selling lemonade for them. It was a tedious negotiation and Mike stepped in between us and held the sale together. I think the buyers are happy and I know I am. It takes a Pro.” -PT

“Sandra and I want to personally thank you and Penelope for all the hard work and the successful sale of E. I appreciate the highly professional way you have handled things and I am very impressed with your knowledge of the market and Santa Fe environment. All the best to your team.” -Fred Pounds

“This concerns the excellent services that were provided by Mike Baker and Penelope Vasquez during the sale of our home in Santa Fe. Excellence in this case in meant in the broadest definition of the word: excellent in advising us, excellent in showing our home, and excellent in helping us in the closing matters. But, still, one important thing sticks in our memory. We had two indoor cats that were carefully watched during showings; we never had the worry of a door left open as both Penelope and Mike handled showing with care and our full confidence. If we were to buy or sell in Santa Fe ever again, they would be out first choice.”
-James & Genevora Davidson
