5 Star Review
We contracted Betsy to represent us in the sale of our home. We immediately were impressed with her energy and creative intelligence as she began laying out a plan to show our home in the best light so that we would command a price that would satisfy us. The day we put the house on the market, we received 2 bids. After a week of negotiation, we accepted one of the offers which included buying all of our furniture and our golf membership. This was a trifecta which we could not turn down and it came about through a carefully prepared plan produced by our wondrously capable friend, Betsy Baker"

Betsy went well beyond my expectations in terms of managing my listing - from start to finish. Firstly, she arranged a pre-listing inspection and aided in the service of necessary items, and then she advised on steps to take to make my home more presentable and marketable. Betsy conducted showings and open houses and received nothing but favorable comments from the agents and potential buyers. She advised on the technical requirements of a home sale such as municipal regulations, utility discontinuation, acquisition of servicemen, and many other items known better by her than by me. And, she advised of a lawyer to handle the sale.
In many respects, the service that Betsy provided was exceptional and well beyond my expectations, particularly as it related to home sale issues about which I was ignorant.
Thank you, Betsy, for your dedication and competence.

Working with Betsy was wonderful. She is both likable and professional. She always kept us informed and had great advice and customer service. After the home inspection, she made the appointments for the various repair people, stayed with them while they did the work, and even paid the invoices ( of course we paid her back!). We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent in this area.

Betsy is very professional and has a cute bubbly personality. She makes the process of buying and selling a home easy. She’s very knowledgeable in her field. She knows all the houses on the market and will show you any of them. But, she gets to know your style and personality and knows which ones you will like. This is a big time saver.

Start to finish, always on top of things. Very thorough and detailed. Pleasant and calm demeanor. Although we listed our home in the fall and it did not sell until almost 6 months later at the end of FL "season", Betsy was able to negotiate a price at the top (per foot) for all high-end listings in our club.

Betsy Baker is the consummate real estate professional. She is personable, professional, and extremely effective. She gives good advice and is focused on moving your property quickly and the right price. She moved the property thru the process from listing, showing, selling, and closing in an efficient manner that was wholly satisfactory to both the seller and the buyer.

Betsy pays great attention to detail. Everything from the starting paperwork, the creation of the brochure, keeping me informed of status regarding open houses and showings, and to the closing documents showed me how thorough and conscientious she was with the sale of my property. I would definitely call Betsy for any future needs.

Betsy was an "all in one" package. We couldn't have asked for a better agent. She listed, advertised, held open houses, was onsite at every showing, and negotiated and closed the sale of our home. We would highly recommend her for your next sale or purchase!

Efficient, hard worker. Had well planned open houses and were relentless in holding them. Reviewed listing carefully, discussed possible net payouts to us, gave us the detailed closing costs, negotiated with sensible suggestions.
She gets it done!

Betsy was fantastic! She had superior knowledge of the area that she was representing. She was a great negotiator. She listens well, and knew what we wanted. I could not recommend her more highly!

We could not be more impressed or pleased with the job Betsy did for us. She was extremely professional, knowledgable, and at the same time taking the time to really understand our needs. She found the perfect house for us, never pressuring us into a decision. She also worked extremely hard selling our home which resulted in it being on the market under two months. She was on top of all necessary paperwork and went above and beyond offering her assistance in every aspect of the process. I highly recommend her.

Betsy is quite bright, exceedingly thorough, and very insightful. We spent 5 afternoons viewing homes in the Bonita Springs area. Prior to our visit, Betsy queried us regarding our preferences, needs, and wishes. Upon arrival, she had prepared a binder of available homes that fit our criteria including near-by comparables. After the first few days, Besty stated that there was a new listing that exactly fit our criteria. It was, in fact, exactly what we were looking for. For the sake of completeness and indicative of her thorough approach to the search she insisted that we complete our viewing of additional homes. At no time was there any pressure and in fact, Besty was the one with the experienced eye who pointed out the shortcomings and/or advantages of the various properties. She also impressed upon us, as SW Florida neophytes, the value of southern exposure to take advantage of the winter sun. Realizing that premier golf and beach access were dominant criteria she managed to obtain access to many of the golf courses so that we had hands-on experience with the various golf courses of the gated communities in which we had an interest. Although many had beach clubs she was aware of our concern that although the communities had beach clubs the ratio of available parking, beach sports, etc to the # of potential users was a sticking point. She managed to have us view a stand-alone beach club, meet the manager and that beach club absolutely fulfilled our needs. Betsy has a very good feel for the value of the homes relative to the listed price and was invaluable in our bid & negotiations. Little did I realize that Betsy's perceived job including assisting the various purveyors once we had closed on the property - and assisting us in finding the purveyors, etc. Betsy is an absolute pleasure to work with, exceedingly honest, trustworthy, diligent, and thorough. I can endorse and recommend Betsy without reservation and will guarantee that you will be unable to find anyone with her skill set.
