Barry Bartindale, Grass Valley, CA, a buyer from Grass Valley, CA
I researched Grass Valley area properties for 2 or 3 years before I finally bought a house there. It was not nearly enough. If it wasn't for Gordon's experience and our extensive discussions after each of the houses I asked to see, I would have made half a dozen bad choices and eventually wound up with a lot of problems after the purchase.

I have nothing bad to say performance wise about Gordon. If i wasn't able to be there for something he was, or he would meet me half way if I couldn't be there, he was never rude with knowing my personal situation and problems. He was easy to trust and patient with my work schedule
Broker was recommended by a friend and He was the first one to listen, advance properly, explaining everything, patient, and picked up most of the work
If I was unable to do something Gordon was there without fail to help make sure paperwork was complete and done properly, and suggested ways to help save but didn't push me to make a decision, he explained step by step every detail and process that was needed to be completed
Gordon was super responsive from the moment I called from the home with the FOR Sale sign. It didn't work out, but he checked in frequently and provided listings that were a good match for me and was available at all times. He was quick to get in all those offers I made (which were consistently outbid despite offers over asking price). And when the first home fell through (more than once), he made me immediately prepared to make another offer. He was right with me during critical inspections and helped me navigate withdrawing an accepted offer. His thorough knowledge of the area of interest kept me on the right track And he called me the moment he got off a plane to let me know that the first house was available again and went above and beyond to make sure I got it! A+ for communication, plus he is a really nice man. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Nevada County.
Gordon hooked me up with a fantastic broker (Mike O'Neill) who helped me get my financing in order quickly and who was also responsive and easy to communicate with. He has a thorough knowledge of the area, inspectors, and contractors. A good buying experience all around!
Hopefully I am living in my forever home now (my 5th home), but I would not hesitate to call Gordon again and will recommend him to others looking in this area.
Ed and Lisa from Rocklin, a buyer from Wheatland, CA
Gordon was helpful at every step of the process. He has a wide fund of knowledge for what we were looking for to buy.
We highly recommend Gordon to folks looking for property in the Grass Valley area!
Cristina Smith, Nevada City, a buyer from Grass Valley, CA
Gordon is a top notch professional. I have recommended several friends to him as well.
Gordon was helpful and getting the property we wanted. He was able to maintain a stress free demeanor in a stressful profession. He was able to help negotiate our terms and make the purchase an experience we felt good about.
Becky Higgs and Bud DeGrio, a seller from Grass Valley, CA
Gordon Baker was my only choice in agents, even though friends urged me to try other agents. Gordon is most trustworthy, a man of his word.
He listens and follows through. He is not a "yes man". He will disagree and offer another perspective when necessary, and gives sound advice that is always in the best interest of the client. He is respectful, professional and does what he says he will do. Over the decades, I have dealt with a number of agents and have been disappointed with their lack of follow through and integrity. I have never, not even once, experienced Gordon giving any less that 100%, even with issues where there might not be any immediate financial advantage for him. He does his best because that is his nature. His unwavering positivity and dependability are head and shoulders above most. He should be acknowledged for who he is, which is the foundation of how he contributes. We wish him every good thing. He has become more than an agent. He has become a friend.
Understand this. I have little patience or trust in agents that talk a good line and do not follow through. My rating is based on reality, not happy feelings because our sale is completed. Gordon consistently does his best. He should be teaching classes in how to be the best agent.
Cristina Smith, Nevada City, a buyer from Grass Valley, CA
Thank you Gordon!
Chris Caldwell, Grass Valley , a buyer from Grass Valley, CA

scott ireton washington ca , a buyer from Washington, CA
I've been involved in many RE transactions over the years. From the beginning and continuing to the end and beyond, Gordon Baker is definitely one of the best. He was always available (most agents are NOT), extremely knowledgeable, polite and friendly. He helped in all aspects of the sale/purchase and touched base (in a professional and friendly manner) with the vendors when they weren't doing their job like they should have been. He knew the dedicated and knowledgeable local folks needed to do inspections and various other tasks.
Sean bottomley Nevada city ca, a seller from Nevada City, CA
Gordon is a knowledgeable real estate agent when it comes to following The market in the real estate industry. He is knowledgeable and is always willing to do whatever it takes to make his customers happy. I have used Gordon a couple times throughout my family and have always had a great experience. I highly suggest using Gordon if youre looking to buy or sell a piece of property.
Galen Ellis, Nevada County, a seller from Nevada City, CA
Gordon advised on timing, price, marketing etc. based on a depth of research and analysis I'd never seen in any other realtor.
I love how Gordon pretty much knows every piece of real estate in the County. And he makes the process easy and understandable. When looking at properties, he also has a deep knowledge of on and off grid infrastructure, home maintenance, and an eye for potential problems. I have no hesitation in recommending Gordon to anyone looking to buy or sell in Nevada County!
Ed Kang, Emigrant Gap, CA, a buyer from Nevada City, CA
Gordon Baker is the most hard-working, thorough real estate agent I've ever worked with. The deal was a small one (275K purchase of land) but it was complicated (land located in 2 counties, continuing timber interest from seller that needed to remain for 3 yrs after close, etc), and he gave thorough reports and worked with forester, surveyor, title company, county and stayed on top of everything at the level of timeliness and thoroughness that was amazing. I got the sense that for Gordon the size of the deal just doesnt matter. This is his passion, and he will take care of every client to the highest level of thoroughness and excellence.
Gordon is a man of many talents (and hats!) and clearly knows this community well. Clear, punctual, and reliable, we felt great working with Gordon buying our first property. Our dream absolutely could not have come true without him, and he continues to ensure that everything is working out the way we'd hoped. We feel so fortunate to have connected with him and found our home.
Jose Freeman, Smartsville, a buyer from Smartville, CA
Gordon was patient in helping me find the perfect home and geographical setting.
His knowledge of the areas I was looking in made the search easier and, as a bonus, I learned a lot from him about the physical components of houses. I am grateful that we took the time necessary to find exactly what I was looking for. 2018

Tony & Mindy LaBianca from Cleveland, a seller from Grass Valley, CA
Gordon Baker was helpful and patient during our long process of having our property for sale and the long escrow. We were impressed with his marketing and truly appreciate his communication with us because we are out of state. He was always upfront and honest about what was happening with the market. We had a positive experience with Gordon Baker. 2017
I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Gordon Baker.
His knowledge of the business , professionalism and ability to listen and understand my needs made me feel completely at ease In making some of the most important decisions of my life.
Gordon was completely available to answer any question that arose in a concise and timely matter. His and her answers were easy for me to understand without a lot of excess back-and-forth communications.
Plain and simple I feel like Gordon had my back from beginning to end.
Beyond real estate he has givin me high-quality recommendations for other services that I needed.
I have personally known Gordon for at least 25 years and have always known him to be a man of high integrity and excellent character.
I feel that Gordon Baker is one of the best in the business and would definitely recommend him to anyone with my highest appreciation for and respect
Gordon is highly knowledgeable about Grass Valley real estate, prompt and responsive. He represented us on the buyers' side while we were out-of-state, doing a thorough job coordinating local inspections, esp. around challenging weather. By closing, we had not only acquired a property, but also significant knowledge about the area and how to best develop our property. 2017
Jan Evans, Big Oak Valley, a seller from Smartville, CA
As an out-of-town property owner I was happy to work with Gordon Baker. He kept me informed of progress with regard to the sale of the property and managed to handle everything that needed to be done so I did not feel the need to be present for any part of the transaction. Process was seamless. 2017
Johanna Finney Nevada City, a buyer from Nevada City, CA
Gordon Baker is a pleasure to work with. He knows the area, is quick, efficient, knowledgeable, trustworthy, fair and diligent. I would work with him for all property purchases in Nevada County. 2017
Christine Gentry, Long Beach, a seller from Grass Valley, CA
Gordon went above and beyond the call of duty on this project. He was always helpful, always answered our questions in a timely fashion and always positive that we would be able to sell.
I filled out this form last week but when I went to exit I could not do so and it apparently didn't go through.
We chose Gordon because a friend of ours who is a real estate agent in the area recommended him. When we talked to him we were impressed by his knowledge of the market in the area and his plan to sell our place. It was a niche property and we had had it on the market for over 2 years.
We couldn't have asked for more! 2016
John Young, Solana Beach, CA, a seller from Grass Valley, CA

Gordon if I ever have any further real estate needs in the area I will be sure to come directly to you!
Thanks for everything....
