Chris Baker instilled our confidence in him during the first meeting. And he continued to come through for us along every step of the process. Best descriptions of Chris would be: professional, knowledgeable, efficient, follows through. and gets results. He made the selling process easy for us and exceeded our expectations. Top notch!
Have been looking for a home since 2019 and have gone through 2 prior agents before being being highly recommended by many of my family friends to work with Chris.
Chris immediately took the time to get to know me and my vision to owner a first home in mind with room to partnership and grow my real estate portfolio dreams. Not once has Chris been pushy in home hunting, he took so much time and patience in helping me locate and find properties for nearly 2+ yrs. Unlike prior agents, Chris understood my long-term goals with real estate investing and knew I was looking for a long term partnership to build my investment dreams. He is born and raised Philly and knew all history behind how the city was developed over the years, which areas/homes are over market and which are perfectly priced for viewings, this saves us so much time and headache by not wasting time viewing listings Chris had the experience to see right way tell tell signs of long term property issues.
The rest of my Philly area home investments in my life will be trusted only with 1 local agent from here on out Mr. Chris Baker!!
Thank you so much again for being a partner in this process and can't wait to see what properties we will see in the future! 2023
Chris helped us move to Philadelphia, his knowledge of the city, neighborhoods, and city construction was incredible. Very responsive and the kind of advocate you want when purchasing a home. Highly recommend! 2023
After carefully researching for a realtor that was knowledgeable, active and successful in our Northern Liberties neighborhood, Chris Baker's name quickly came to the forefront. He developed a thoughtful, detailed marketing plan to represent our home and executed it masterfully resulting in an offer in 14 days. We appreciated Chris's energy, focus and outstanding communication throughout the entire process. 2023
Being that this was the second time working with Chris on purchasing a home, he once again did an outstanding job, assisting me with the purchase of my condo. His long tenured expertise with negotiations, making competitive offers, and having the extensive knowledge of what makes for a great home/buy, all while considering future investment value is truly great attributes to have in an agent. He even went out of his way to set a meet with a local handyman for household needs. Chris is definitely my guy for future personal and investment property needs! 2023
What can I say that I haven't already said? On our third (or fourth?) transaction together, Chris once again went above and beyond. I had solid professional advice from him while he was available 24/7 to help me navigate this challenging market. It will be a pleasure to work with Chris again in the future, and I recommend him highly. 2022
Chris was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process -- which lasted a year to find the right house. He is a patient and conscientious agent who is extremely knowledgeable and consistently represents his clients to support their best interests.
My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with our new home and are so thankful to have gone through the process with Chris! To us, Chris has become a friend and a trusted agent! 2022
Chris helped us find a new home in Philadelphia and sell our old one as well. Through the process, Chris was wonderful to work with. He's patient, knowledgeable, responsive, provides excellent advice, and has a sterling reputation within the industry.
Chris took us on multiple trips to see homes throughout South Jersey and Philadelphia. He was able to schedule showings to accommodate our busy schedules, and he never pressured us on any decisions...even though it took almost a year to find our home. He was there every step of the way: finding a home, making an offer, negotiating a contract, home inspection, financing, closing, and even helping us after closing!
When selling our previous home, Chris advised us on simple repairs and upgrades to enhance a prospective buyer's impression. He put together a great write-up for the listing, took phenomenal pictures, and maximized the marketing efforts. Our home sold quickly and at a price that we were happy with.
Chris focuses on his clients' interests, and that's what separates him from others in the industry. I highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs. 2022
What is there to say about Chris Baker? A wonderful human being and a consummate professional who looks out for your needs. Over the course of 2021, Chris saw around 45 houses with me in my grueling house search, putting in multiple offers on various houses and went to contract on another house before finding my house in South Philly. I am a first time home buyer and had tons of questions, concerns and wavering about what and where I wanted to buy. Every step of the way Chris was informative, responsive, and patient. During that search I also had the pleasure of spending a lot of time together with Chris and I enjoyed every minute of his company. I sincerely hope we continue to have a relationship for many years to come. I'd highly recommend Chris to any of my family, friends or strangers who are searching for housing in the Philadelphia area and beyond. If and when I sell my house, it will absolutely be with Chris Baker as the listing agent. 2021
Chris is a stellar realtor! Hes helped us purchase and sell multiple homes, including a foreclosure which most realtors would see as a nightmare, but Chris took it on like a champ and saw opportunity. He is extremely reliable and patient, not to mention he always has your best interest in mind regardless of buying or selling. Cant recommend Chris enough, his experience and knowledge of the market is outstanding! 2021
When we first found out that we were moving to the Philadelphia area we had no idea where to start. I had no contacts here, so I just submitted a request for an agent through my company relocation site. Chris happened to get my info and that was about the luckiest thing that could have happened. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and helped us find the perfect home for our needs. If you or anyone you know is buying or selling a home, I cannot recommend Chris highly enough. 2021
Moving from another state, we needed a lot of help in choosing the right area for our family. Chris was right there the whole time, making sure we saw houses within our budget and fitting our other needs such as schools and neighborhood feel. We ended up finding a great house we're so excited to move in to, and Chris has even been helping us after closing, finding someone to do a few repairs we needed. If we need to move in the area again, Chris will be the first person we call. 2021
I've worked with Chris twice now, and he continues to go above and beyond! He advocates for his clients and is extremely passionate about his job. I've worked with other brokers before; in comparison, I know Chris has my best interest in mind, and will not rest until the job is done completely and thoroughly. He really goes the extra mile. I will continue to work with Chris in the future. 2021
Chris is the only broker I'll use going forward. He did a stellar job learning what we were looking for in a multi-family investment property and went out of his way to find the perfect place. Chris also went above and beyond on countless measures. I look forward to working with him on the next place and highly recommend him for any personal/investment real estate ventures.
Chris Baker has been the real estate expert my girlfriend and I have personally used for 4 different transactions buying and selling properties in Philadelphia. He is extremely knowledgeable about the city, the nuances of the neighborhoods, and the end-to-end process of doing business in the city, and is so thorough and responsive that the entire process is seamless each and every time. There is no one we would trust more than Chris with facilitating a real estate transaction on our behalf in the city of Philadelphia. He is our realtor of choice and will recommend him to anyone! 2020
Chris was helpful and patient with me during my home search. He made the negotiation process really simple for me, and he was available at a variety of times (mornings, nights, weekends). This is the second time I've used Chris as a realtor, which is proof that I would definitely recommend him! 2019
I would give Chris 6 stars out of 5 if I could. He is such an affable, knowledgeable professional and simply a one-of-a-kind human being. He helped us sell our home two years ago and put the same outstanding effort helping us find a house when we moved back to Philadelphia. From the beginning of the processes of selling as well as buying our houses, Chris was on top of everything! He made sure he understood not only what we were looking for, but what we didnt want so he could have a holistic idea of what would make us happy. He was gracious enough to keep us grounded when I got carried away thinking we could turn a house into something it wasnt and give us his honest opinions about house conditions and the different areas in the city. He is also quite versed in everything related to real estate, and what he doesnt know he finds out. He knows who to go to for all types of issues and works tirelessly for his clients. I wouldnt think twice to recommend Chris and use his services again!
I'd highly recommend Chris. He went well out of our way to ensure we found the perfect home and then ensured we got a good deal on it. He is hard working and always available. This was my second transaction with him and couldn't more highly recommend. 2019
Simply put, Chris is one of the best real estate professionals in Philadelphia. My family and I have been working with Chris for the past 5 years now, and have not been disappointed -- leading to successful home purchases in Rittenhouse, Northern Liberties, and Fishtown.
Chris is enthusiastic about his work, extremely responsive, proactive, and knowledgable and passionate about the city of Philadelphia. I recommend him without any reservations.
I am an investor looking for specific types of properties in Philadelphia. Chris has helped me and my real estate partner find exactly what we are looking for on numerous occasions for well over 5 years. He is experienced, knows Philadelphia inside and out, and has been effective in getting many deals done for us. He is an effective negotiator, and his knowledge of pricing has been invaluable. I would encourage any investor (or other buyer) to use him as their agent. 2018
We could not have asked for a better Agent! Chris went the extra mile for us on every level. We were relocating to Philly from another state and had to travel for house-hunting. After the first trip, Chris had a keen sense of what we were looking and provided us regularly with lists of beautiful homes to review. He devoted entire weekends to showing us all that Philly has to offer and helping us find the perfect home. We couldn't be happier. Great Neighborhood! Great Block! Great Neighbors! And when it comes to Agents, Chris is off-the-charts AWESOME! 2018
Chris was outstanding, he knows the area and what he's talking about. He was able to get us full asking price. He was on top of everything at every turn. Straight up and honest guy, there was no smoke and mirrors like you hear about other agents. Provided excellent service from beginning to end. 2018
Our choice of Christopher Baker as our Philadelphia realtor proved to be wonderfully serendipitous. His breadth of knowledge of Philadelphia, as a born and bred Philadelphian, was surpassed only by his infectious enthusiasm. Each visit to view prospective homes left us more excited in our decision to move to this amazing city. INTEGRITY - Chris listened to our likes/wants and never imposed his own opinions or pushed us beyond our budget (in fact, we ended up purchasing a home well within). His professionalism and high moral fiber were comforting throughout what is often a stressful situation. And he was ALWAYS quick - if not immediate - to respond to calls/questions from initial contact through closing until move in (hopefully beyond - as our first Philadelphia friend!).

We recently had the pleasure of working with Christopher Baker, to both sell and buy a home. nIt was an extremely stressful time in our lives, as we just became parents to a baby girl, were selling our condo and buying a new house that was in the process of being built. nChris was always a phone call away to help with questions, important deadlines, or problems that would and could arise. nHe is extremely knowledgeable of the Philadelphia market and has many contacts of industry professionals that are useful during this tense but exciting time of life! nWe have been living in our beautiful brand new house for 7 months; Chris is still an integral part of our life's as we are adjusting and settling in and he is always a phone call away ready to assist in anything we need! I would highly recommend Christopher Baker for all of your real estate needs! 2017
Chris is an outstanding and professional Real estate agent to work with when buying or selling a home. He is knowledgeable and personable when it comes to understanding his client's needs and he is responsive to getting the answers that you need and want. Chris is also friendly and charming as he brings a wealth of experience to the table and makes you feel that the process will be smooth sailing if handled coordinated correctly and if you paperwork is in order. I would use Chris each time I bought or sold a home. 2016
My husband and I met Chris at an open house he was hosting -- we chatted for a bit about what we were looking for and he recommended another neighborhood to consider, without any pressure. A few weeks later we reached out to start working with him, and were happy about that decision. He was responsive throughout the process, and went above and beyond to advocate on our behalf to resolve a few issues before settlement. We highly recommend him! 2016
Chris was an excellent person to work with. As a life long Jersey resident, I was not familiar with Philadelphia, but I knew I wanted to buy here. I found Chris on Zillow through other excellent reviews, all of which turned out to be true. He has extensive knowledge of the city, which helps tremendously. He drove me through all the city's neighborhoods, pointing out the pros/cons of each. I worked with him for a year, never once did I feel rushed. That is unlike most real estate agents. If you are a first time home buyer new to the area, Chris is your guy! 2016
Having Chris as my trusted real estate agent for my first home purchase in Philly was priceless! I consider myself to be quite the discriminating buyer so having his patience, in-depth knowledge of the city, and overall professionalism was great. I relied 100% on his vast Philly real estate experience in purchasing my first home and his advice went a long way in helping me find the right one. We looked at over 30 places, both condos and rowhomes, and he remained patient with me as I kept switching my preference between the two types. Chris persisted until I found exactly what I wanted and his patience totally paid off! n nI would recommend Chris to family and friends alike. He really digs deep down into your likes and dislikes and forges a path to the right home. Even after the home purchase, Chris was there to help out with the initial growing pains of home ownership and helped me out tremendously. Go to Chris for all your real estate needs! n nUpdate: I went back to Chris to sell the home he originally helped me buy and once again he was knowledgeable and helpful throughout the ordeal. It was about as painless of an experience as one could have in selling a home, especially in the competitive Fishtown market. From the start, we both agreed on a listing price after he and I both got to look at comps. I travel frequently so Chris took care of everything while I was away and I wasn't concerned one bit. He had my full faith and trust in executing the deal. The home was sold to a price of my liking under a month of listing. Once again, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris to any of my family and friends. 2016
Simply put, Chris Baker is THE hardest working and most sincere person I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with! n nMy husband and I met Chris randomly at an open house. We were nervous and uneducated about buying (our first place) but Chris instantly put us at ease. Throughout our home buying process, we could always count on Chris - anytime, day or night, to answer our questions and guide us with great advice, recommendations and professionalism. Even though we knew Chris was juggling multiple clients, we always felt like we were his number one priority. Chris is not only proactive, patient, extremely knowledgeable - always going above and beyond to get the job done - he's also a great guy to spend hours house hunting with. n nWe would not be in our dream home if it wasn't for Chris and we'll forever recommend him to anyone that will listen. Chris is THE BEST! 2016
Chris Baker is a wonderful realtor! He knows the nuances of the various Philadelphia neighborhoods. He went above and beyond when problems arose- helping us find a mortgage lender when we had issues with our first one, and making sure construction issues with the house were addressed before and after closing. He is quick to respond to all forms of communication, and available to speak with you around YOUR schedule. Just days after closing we had major issues arise, and he was able to negotiate with the builder to make sure our concerns were addressed in a timely manner. We will definitely be working with Chris again! 2016
