“We have had the good fortune to work with Lorraine Baker twice, once as a buyer and once as a seller.  As a buyer, she guided us gently but efficiently, riding with us as our preferences evolved.  She matched us with an ideal property.  Though it was attracting great interest, Lorraine masterfully helped us acquire it for less than its appraised value.  Lorraine’s background in corporate finance is particularly valuable.  She can expertly assess situations, craft attractive offers, manage complex negotiations and appreciate the unique and varied financial circumstances of each client.”

“Thank you, Lorraine.  I have referred you to colleagues, friends and family members, telling them of your invaluable insight into the Manhattan real estate market and your “get the job done” attitude.  I sincerely appreciate all that you have done and know I couldn’t have gotten such a great deal if it were not for you.”

“Lorraine guided us very carefully throughout the process and made us feel as if we were her only clients.  She was accessible, tenacious and extremely hard working at all times.  Above all, she proved to be highly ethical and we trusted her always.  Were it not for her holding everything together, we believe the deal would have collapsed on several occasions.”

“We have had considerable experience working with real estate professionals.  However, Lorraine Baker is the most professional and capable agent that we have ever engaged.  Once we identified a suitable property, she provided invaluable guidance on how to approach the development of a purchase proposal and in the negotiation of final terms and conditions.  Our application was reviewed and approved in record time so that we were able to close within our mortgage lock-in period.”

“Lorraine Baker is an exceptional agent.  Her deep knowledge and experience in marketing our apartment as well as her ethical and honest approach was essential in helping us negotiate a satisfactory deal at an extremely challenging time in the market.  She recommended strategic upgrades to make the apartment more attractive and gave us excellent referrals to a contractor, stager, personal organizer and auction house.  Lorraine’s marketing efforts for the apartment included regular and prominent features in high-end print and on-line publications.  She even organized an evening reception for potential buyers and select brokers that doubled as a benefit for an animal welfare organization!  Lorraine went above and beyond our expectations at every step of the way.”
