Specializing in the sale of historical and architecturally significant homes across Southern California, William Baker has represented iconic properties designed by Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, Gregory Ain, Ray Kappe, A. Quincy Jones and Douglas Rucker, among others.

An excellent negotiator with an impeccable eye for detail, William is passionate about connecting clients with the right property while identifying the next steward for L.A.s most treasured architectural homes. Throughout his life, Williams clients, associates, friends and family have looked to, leaned on, and trusted him for his opinion, whether in need of his practical, aesthetic, emotional or ethical advice. His decades of sales, marketing and design experience have equipped him with the skills and know-how to deftly meet and exceed the needs of a discerning clientele. Williams sold listings have been featured in Architectural Digest, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Forbes, USA Today, The Today Show, Good Morning America, Inside Edition, and many more.

William moved to the Golden State from Chicago in the early 2000s to lead West Coast sales for an international design firm, with whom he had worked for nearly 20 years.
His 1962 John L. Pugsley AIA-designed home was one of five residences selected for the 2018 Dwell on Design home tour and serves as a beautiful beacon of midcentury design in the unique hillside community, tucked between Downtown and Pasadena.

Since buying his dream property, William has sought out and soaked up everything L.A. has to offerfrom its eclectic real estate to its diverse culture, art, music, beer, food, fashion and fun. A native of Detroit, on weekends and warm summer evenings you can find him wringing out a German car (hes bought and sold more than 60 of them), running, biking and hiking around the Arroyo, Rose Bowl, Griffith Park, Santa Monica mountains, or hanging out at Debs Park, just steps from his front door. William serves on the Board of Directors of the Heritage Square Museum in Los Angeles, is a member of the Los Angeles Conservancy, and is the Vice-President of the Porsche Club of America-Los Angeles Region.
