Mattie Baker

BROKER ASSOCIATE, SRES, RSPS

Mattie Baker is a Broker Associate with Craft & Bauer | Real Broker. Mattie is licensed in both California and Arizona and serves clients with a level of experience few agents can match. Her career began in 1985 in commercial real estate, where she helped a group of private investors in Los Angeles acquire mismanaged multifamily properties while serving as regional director of their 500+ apartment portfolio. Collecting rents, managing improvements, and repositioning units to grow her investors’ equity gave her a deep understanding of what both commercial and residential owners truly want. A broker since 1990, focused on residential real estate since 2008, Mattie specializes in senior downsizing and relocation, probate and trust sales, and helping small investors improve the return on their portfolios.

Mattie is known as the listing agent who breaks through price ceilings, often by personally managing and financing the repairs and remodels that help her sellers net top dollar. When an elderly couple in the Bay Area was offered $1.2M by an investor, she offered to finance a targeted $70,000 remodel and sold their home for $1,597,000 in 12 days. She guided an out of state beneficiary through a three year probate battle and successfully sold all their assets at top dollar in record time. One client relationship that began at an open house in 2016 has spanned over a decade, from helping that buyer secure a fixer below market to selling it 7 years later with a $1.2M gain, then transforming one of her rentals into a sale with 14 offers, negotiating a $720,000 over list sales price and facilitating a tax deferred 1031 exchange that more than doubled her rental income.

For Mattie, every relationship begins with one simple belief: it is all about the client. She wants each person she works with to feel like her only client, and she is personally there for them from A to Z, communicating every step of the way and going out of her way to exceed their expectations. She is not afraid to roll up her sleeves and do whatever it takes to make a home shine, and her commitment does not end at closing. Mattie’s goal is to build relationships grounded in respect and trust that last a lifetime, which is why so many of her past clients become lifelong friends.

Mattie’s compassion extends well beyond real estate. She fosters puppies, kittens and has recently opened her home to foster youth through Catholic Charities’ Foster Program. She leads “Walking with Moms in Need,” a ministry that befriends women facing unplanned pregnancies or parenting under difficult circumstances and connects them with resources they need to thrive, and she serves as a Eucharistic Minister at San Francisco De Asis, bringing communion each Sunday to homebound seniors. In her leisure time, Mattie loves hiking in the forest with her two labradoodles, snuggling with her two cats, gardening, working out, reading, writing, and spending time with her family, and friends while reflecting on her faith.
