Now the Third Largest Realty company in the US, Keller Williams® Realty takes a different approach, one that is built on personal touches, a professional approach and positive results based on proven methods.    How does a company that has no advertising on television become the Third Largest Realty company in the country?  Simply speaking, our Agents!

Located at the Barrington office of Keller Williams Success Realty, I, PEGGY  BAKER, utilize the latest technologies, market research and business strategies to meet your expectations.  Tailoring my skills to the specific needs of the client provides unique approaches to achieving positive real estate results and a win win for all! 

I don't limit myself to the Barrington area, but serve most communities in the far northwest suburbs of Chicago including Lake and McHenry counties.  At Keller Williams, we truly listen to the needs of clients, and that means finding solutions tailored to you, your family or business.   

With a strong background in Commercial Sales, Leasing and Property Management, if you are an Investor, or would like to become an Investor, we can provide the tools necessary to achieve future passive income,  and help prepare for your future.  Whether you're looking to set up an LLC, or Real Estate Partnership, options are available for every type of investor, both residential and commercial.  Our team can also assist you with 1031 exchanges and more.   Tenants in need of representation (residential OR Commercial) are always welcomed. Click on one of my services to see what we can offer you.

Having entered the real estate industry in the late 80’s, the market was much different, and interest rates were high.  As many have enjoyed years of equity increases, the 'new market' offers some unique challenges, but offers many rewards too.  There has never been a better time to buy real estate and yes, we ALL have suffered profound losses in our equity, but there is still hope for Sellers out there. 

I joined Keller Williams because of a profound reputation of being ‘agent driven’, and endlessly customer focused, leaving no stones unturned for the benefit of client.   As a Keller Williams Broker Associate, we have a say in how our company operates.  A company that listens to the needs of their agents whose commitment to clients is truly unmatched.

 

Not only do I offer vast experience consulting Seller’s in the residential and commercial real estate world, but hold an ABR designation (Accredited Buyer Representative), offering the best service possible for buyer’s in today’s marketplace.  

Further, I have been awarded an SRES designation (Seniors Real Estate Specialist). Working with the Mature Market, takes special care and understanding as well as being able to help direct families dealing with the stresses of an aging parent, to those who can best tend to their needs.

Most recently, I have become a Certified Short Sale and Foreclosure Consultant, here to assist if you are facing financial difficulties and do not know where to turn next.

 

I look forward to serving your Real Estate needs and helping you sort out facts from fiction.  When you are ill, you don't seek help from a Lawyer, you see a Doctor.  When you need legal advice you don't go to the Accountant.   When you need Real Estate advice, look to a Broker experienced in all aspects of buying, selling and negotiating on YOUR behalf.
