You can't find a better real estate agent than Ivie Baker. She has worked with us for over a year in our search for a cottage. With her e-mail notices of new listings and price changes, her wonderful web-site combined with her patience in showing us many cottages, we finally found the cottage of our dreams. Thanks Ivie!!!

Ivie was wonderful when we bought our "cabin" on the lake. She kept in contact with us along every step of the process and made sure things went well for us. She made the whole experience one that was as stress-free as possible!

Testimonial - Bought a Waterfront Cottage on Smallwood

Searching for waterfront properties this past Fourth of July weekend, over 150 miles from our home, was quite an experience. We searched over 80 homes. We finally found one that we were interested in and made a call to Kehoe Realty. Not expecting to get any service that holiday weekend; Ivie Baker at Kehoe Realty not only answered our call but offered to show us the home that same day. It turned out to be the one. Ivie walked us through the process, answered all my many calls and emails promptly,she always went the extra mile for us. Even after the closing she has continued to assist me. I consider her a wonderful agent and a lifelong friend.

Testimonial - Bought a Waterfront Home on Secord

In July, we decided to start looking in the Gladwin area for a waterfront 2nd home. We were thinking we would buy something in the next couple of years. We drove up north and looked at a few houses, then made contact with a couple of real estate agents. Ivie Baker was instrumental in our decision to quickly purchase a home on Secord Lake. From the beginning, she was friendly, helpful, and upbeat. She also never used any high-pressure techniques I've seen in that business. After looking at only 12 homes, we purchased a home on Pineland Point that we absolutely love. Thanks again to Ivie Baker at Kehoe Realty!

Testimonial - Bought a Waterfront Home

I was looking for a home and seen this one listing by Ivie. I called her to see this home. Instead of saying she couldnt make it today set an appointment, or anything like that she dropped everything and was at this one home in 10 min.

From that point on Ivie stayed with me and helped me find the house of my dreams. She had so much patients. I thought for sure she would send me to another person and she wouldnt have time for me. She showed me alot of homes.

Then I believed she wanted me to have the home I wanted. She really showed me that she was truely for the client and not the money.

If you have a chance or need an outstanding person that will care for your needs and listen to what you want then you really need to give her a call.

After many homes and alot of her time Ivie called and said that she has this home that was it, and she was right. I put a contract on it and now I am a proud owner of this beautiful home.

Thank you again Ivie for all your help and for paying attention to my needs for a home.. I will refer people to you and I will use you again in the future..God Bless ... Terry JaJo

Testimonial - Sold 10 acres with Log Cabin & Pond

It was a great pleasure working with Ivie every step of the way. Ivie is a very dedicated realtor and she takes great pride in her job. Most importantly, she is genuinely a great person with good ethics and standards. Whether through e-mails or telephone, Ivie always stays in touch and keeps you updated. It was like having a realtor in the family. Ivie is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with and I would highly recommend her. As a matter of fact, I already have. Thanks again Ivie!

Sold Vacant Land 2009 ~ John Ciacelli, Monroe Michigan

Testimonial - Bought Vacant Hunting Acreage

Ivie Baker is at the forefront of dedication to her clients. She makes it her mission to find the answers to all questions posed to her. She keeps her clients well informed, by sending out regular email correspondence, listings, with maps and photos, sales information of similar homes and properties, and so on. If asked a question she cannot answer immediately, Ivie looks under every rock for it. She is not afraid of a challenge. She is generous with her time, and she will fit her schedule around the client's schedule. She returns calls and emails promptly. 

We recently purchased 32 acres of land with a hunter's cabin and matching outbuilding. Without us even asking her to, she took out her digital camera, and took many photos of the cabin, and surrounding land. She scheduled our closing without a hitch, and it took little time. 

Ivie "under-promises, and over-delivers" which is the mark of a good Realtor. In this time of declining markets, volatile sales reductions, over-inventory, Ivie remains true to her trade, true to her clients, true to her Agency. She is a positive force which reinforces the faith in these troubling times. She sets a high standard for the Real Estate Industry, and for all future real estate needs, we will return to Kehoe Realty and Ivie Baker. She exemplifies "customer service and satisfaction".

Testimonial - Bought a WF Home Sugar Springs

We stumbled upon Ivie’s website while dreaming about owning a place Up North. Her customized weekly mailouts helped us narrow down exactly what we were looking for. While Ivie’s website was a wonderful place for us to narrow down our real estate needs, I cannot express the depth of knowledge and personalized service that she provided. Within minutes of emailing her we had an appointment schedule to tour homes in Gladwin/Sugar Springs. We cannot stress the importance of working with a real estate agent that knows the local area. She gave us the best service possible saving us time and money. Without hesitation we would recommend Ivie to handle all your real estate needs. Thank you Ivie for making our dream home a reality!

Testimonial - Bought a Lot in Sugar Springs

I was on the internet late one Saturday night when I found this awesome deal on a beautiful piece of land. Ivie Baker was the realtor listed and I shot off an email with a thousand questions expecting not to hear a thing back before Monday morning. Imagine my surprise when bright and early Sunday morning I had an email answer to all my questions and a cell phone number to reach her if there was any thing else I needed to know. My husband and I made the two hour trip to see the lot that Sunday. We called Ivie with a few more questions from the lot and received a call back within an hour, while she was at a Tiger baseball game. We drove back up Monday afternoon and signed the papers on the lot. Buying our dream lot was the easiest experience we have ever had and it is all because of Ivie Baker.

Testimonial - Sold Lakeside Condo in Sugar Springs

When we decided to sell our home in 2006, our original thought was to list it with the agency which the builder had used for new sales. We were familiar with the people and the operation of that agency so there was a comfort level. There was very little activity during the two years of that listing, but because it was a multi-listing, Ivie Baker's card was on our counter for having shown our place more frequently than any other agent. Finally, in June 2008, even though the economy was still in the tank and home sales in a downspin, something had to change if we hoped to sell. We contacted Ivie and met with her on June 13, 2008.

Her upbeat personality and positive attitude really impressed us at our first meeting. She explained her use of the internet to advertise her listings and although we really didn't understand the whole process, we bought into the concept. She listed our place on June 18 and had her first prospective buyer come through on July 5 who had seen our place on her "Virtual Tour" which really impressed them. They made an offer which we accepted on July 6 and signed the papers on July 7. The closing date was Aug l and the entire sale through Ivie's efforts went so smooth, we were on our way to Florida the next week.

Without any reservation or hesitation,we would highly recommend Ivie Baker for her professionalism as a real estate agent, her work ethic to get the job done. Let's be honest success is the highest form of flattery and the most accurate gauge to measure satisfaction. We couldn't be more satisfied with her sucess. Then on a personal note you won't find a more personable, positive agent to work with and we were fortunate enough to meet some of her family who reflect her personality. We feel fortunate to have had Ivie Baker come into our lives, not just because of the sale of our home, but also to have her as a friend.

Testimonial - Bought Waterfront Home - Wixom Lake

Ivie, you were definitely the right realtor for us. Your willingness to help us out in advance of our visit, professional advice, quick response times, and the fact that you are so well connected in this digital age really made it possible for us to find a place and close on it so quickly. You've probably spoiled us for working with any other realtors in the future!

Testimonial - Sold Waterfront Cottage - Lake Four

Recently we decided to list our lake front cottage. We didn't have much hope of selling because of the sagging economy, and we weren't 100% sure that we wanted to sell, but we thought we would give it a try. We met with Ivie on a Saturday to show her the property. Ivie took pictures inside and out so that she could post it on the net and create a virtual tour. We were shocked at how quickly Ivie had it done and how cute our cottage looked for the tour! Then, just ten days later, we had a full price offer! It seemed miraculous, but really it was all Ivie's work. Throughout our quick transaction, Ivie was professional, friendly and helpful. We sold without any trouble. We know where we'll go if we decide to buy again! Thanks Ivie for doing such a fantastic job!

Testimonial - Bought Waterfront Cottage - Lake Four

We recently purchased a cottage from Ivie Baker at Kehoe Realty. It was a pleasure working with her. Over the last few months we had looked at MANY cabins/cottages in Gladwin, Clare, and Ogemaw Counties. When we happened to come across one of Ivie's listing and got connected with her. She got us hooked up with an automatic e-mail update with listing of what we wanted and in our price range. She always got right back with us if we had a question or concern. She made the Transition quick and easy. From viewing to signing everything was done within 2 weeks. Thanks Ivie!!!!

Testimonial: Sugar Springs Waterfront Home (Lake Lancer)

Ivie Baker found several homes for us to look at in our search for a house in the Gladwin area. When we decided to look in an area that wasn't in her bailiwick, she contacted another agent to help us with looking at homes. This agent was also very helpful.

She was willing to go the extra mile to help out, even showing homes in the evening, when we're sure she would've rather been with her family. She tracked down any information we needed to help us with our decisions. And Ivie was really helpful with letting us see the potential for places. We appreciated all her help, and we eventually found a place, and at a place where we really wanted to live. She knew the area intimately, and can help a client with anything they need to know. We have found her to be the best real estate agent with whom we have ever had the pleasure to work.
