Chris Baker
Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Chris has run a successful real estate business for the past twelve years. In 2007, he started in the Scottsdale/Phoenix market with Coldwell Banker, and quickly rose through the ranks as “Rookie of the Year.”
“I saw real estate as a great opportunity to be in business for myself. I love working one-on-one with people. When I got into it, it was with the idea that I was going to succeed and that my first closing was right around the corner. I didn’t know enough to stop!”
From a young age, Chris possessed an entrepreneurial spirit, and also enjoyed helping people. One of his early endeavors was a small graphic design business that lead him to other fields like marketing, sales, and even independent filmmaking. He also strives to remain connected to and give back to the community. Whether it’s volunteering to refurbish a Boys & Girls Club, furthering efforts to increase childhood literacy, or making a charitable donation in the names of his clients after a successful closing, he believes in the importance of relationships and paying it forward.
In addition to helping clients buy and sell, Chris’ experience also includes managing and selling REO assets for multiple banks as well as investing in homes in historic districts, which he renovates and sells along with a partner and his wife Tiffany, who is an interior designer. Chris puts this diverse expertise to good use by helping clients find the right home both for their personal needs or investment.
Over the years Chris had the good fortune to work with other successful entrepreneurs and mentors who gave him insight into how he wanted his future to look. Following their dreams, Chris, Tiffany, son Preston, and small family of pets including 3 doggies: Harry Winston, Dudley, Parker, and a Bengal cat named Brooklyn (who as coincidence would have it, came with that name from the Bay Area) embarked on their adventure relocating to New York City.
Chris’ passion for helping clients find the right home has easily translated to the NYC market where he joined the long established Vandenberg Team who has been helping Townhouse Sellers and Buyers for nearly three decades.
