We have nothing but good things to say about John Baker of Century 21 Beutler & Associates. John is a very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable agent, who, we truly believe, really had our best interests to heart. November 2020
My family and I were relocated to Spokane from Georgia and John Baker was assigned to us by the relocation company, and we are glad he was. It was evident from the beginning that John was very knowledgeable about the Spokane area and had a great deal of experience in the Spokane area real estate market. Once we had decided upon a home we liked, the closing process was seamless; John walked us through the process step-by-step and was in constant contact making sure we were fully informed and closing would occur as scheduled.
I truly believe that John wanted to get us into a house that we loved and was not purely motivated by profit. I think John was as happy with the home purchase as we are.
I would highly recommend John Baker for your home purchasing needs.

John helped me sell my house while I'm living overseas. He was great in keeping me informed by calling me over WhatsApp and thoroughly explaining every step of the way. He also sent the necessary docs to sign via email. John worked well with my family who stepped up to prepare the home for market. I am grateful to have worked with you John and for all your advice! I sold well and I'm sure it was a win win also for the new owners. I would recommend John to anyone who is wanting to sell their home- or for that matter is looking to buy. He is knowledgeable, efficient, keeps you informed and is very personable. Thank you John Baker

I was an out of town seller who had to rely on John Baker to sell my property. He stayed in contact as I was getting ready to sell and provided expert advice on how to make my property more saleable. He also provided me with contacts of reputable contactors to make required improvements.September 2020
John obviously has had lots of experience dealing with many people and he manages to be pleasant to all involved.
John priced this piece of property correctly as I had 2 great offers right away (day after listing) and guided me through how to accept the best one.
I felt like he was on my 'side' when the buyer made demands

Having lived in our house for 32 years and raised our child, we found John to be a calming voice of reason during an emotional time of selling our home. He listened to our concerns and guided us through the process and various situations. We felt he always had our best interest in mind. January 2020
We were very happy to know John was in our corner during the sale of our home and consider him a friend.

I cannot stress enough how much on every single level John went above and beyond and exceeded all of my expectations. In short time he earned my trust. I realized he is fundamentally looking out for my best interest. This is so reassuring in a crazy housing market. John will change his schedule as much as he possible can to accommodate you as opportunities come up last minute.August 2019
As John pursued deals and guided me in the process I realized he is a bit tenacious and made every pursuit to make deals fairly, but did not hesitate to advocate for me with large items and especially the small details.
Taking the real estate aspect out of the equation let me tell you something important:
John Baker is a phenomenal human. This is a man you can trust that is morally sound and upholds an extremely high level of professionalism. I now consider John a friend as well as my real estate agent.
With deep gratitude and respect I say thank you John. I look forward to hanging with you and working together on the next real estate adventure!
God Bless!!!

John Baker was our agent when we purchased our new home in January 2017. From our first meeting to purchase that home, he was informative and patient worked through our ongoing questions, really listened, and provided options that best fit our situation. His professional mannerism shows with his knowledge of housing market and all steps from listing our house to closing. He is friendly, always upbeat, and optimistic. I would recommend him to others.

John Baker went above and beyond to make sure we were successful. Our experience was a breeze due to his expertise and customer service. We came out feeling like winners and had positive encounters with the sellers agent and the sellers due to his guidance and approach ability. We now know Spokane as a thriving and exciting city after touring the area with John. Thank you for caring for us, John.

John was readily available to answers questions and give feedback concerning the home buying process. As a first time home buyer and having a difficult experience with a prior realtor, John was a Godsend. His knowledge of the market, solid contract writing skills and sound advice helped me find the perfect home for my family and I. Without his help and knowledge base, feel we wouldn't have found the home that would meet our expectations as much as this home did.

We are first time home buyers and the process was incredibly intimidating. We were buying a house from another state and didn't really know where to start. John was recommended to us and we immediately felt at ease. He was always a call, text, or email away if we had any questions, comments, or concerns. When we were able to visit to see the area, John's local knowledge was invaluable and helped us decide where we wanted to buy our house. When we finally decided on which house to buy, John was awesome at getting the ball rolling with everything else that needed to be done. We would highly recommend John!

John understood the time crunch and urgency my husband and I were in being both active duty military. He hit the ground running and got us our property estimate based on market research within a few days. Even once we had relocated to Japan he stayed in constant communication with us on the progress of our home sale. He's knowledgeable and patient! I would recommend him to anyone that asks for a broker and actually already have!

John was excellent and met our needs. As a military member having to move into an unknown city it was critical we had someone to follow up with us and work the negotiations and other matters from a distance. We know that the demands we asked of him were taxing and urgent as the window of time was limited for us to be able to act and get a home in a financially acceptable matter, but despite all that we feel that John pulled through marvelously! We are extremely greatful for his service to us. He was professional, friendly, and courteous all the way through. He even went out of his way to fight for us with our mortgage financing bank and ensured that the closeout date was going to be consistent, which was originally not the case due to holiday demands. The result was that he saved us a lot of extra financial stress and heartache with our long distance move, and this was after a fairly tough negotiation between us and the seller. January 2018
As stated before John was extremely professional, kind, courteous, and sympathetic to our needs! We can't help but feel that fate drew us a very lucky card finding him to be our realtor!
The staff represented a friendliness akin to John, I would have more to say but we only had a few dealings with the staff as the vast majority of the time John was helping us.
We want to give out an overall thank you to John for being patient with us and helping us (a Military family) find a beautiful quality home to live in. Working the negotiations as our liaison from a distance and following up. He did an outstanding job and it was always a pleasure talking, conversing, and dealing with him. Thanks so much John Baker!

Upon meeting Mr. Baker it is apparent that he cares about finding you the perfect home. The first day of looking at houses, he gave me different tips about what to look for in a home such as new windows, gas heating, the overall condition of the neighborhood to name a few. This may seem like obvious advice to some, but for a first time home buyer, it was invaluable. I came away from that first experience grateful that I had someone knowledgeable about the area and surprised by how easy it had been. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. December 2017
Once we found what I believed to be the perfect home, Mr. Baker went above and beyond helping me set up both a sewer and home inspection that he recommended. I was extremely satisfied with the quality of both. The inspections were thorough and not biased in any way to influence me to continue with the sale or move on. The honesty and quality of the inspections led me to remove my offer on the first home.
We kept looking, Mr. Baker meanwhile accommodating my busy schedule that included me being out of contact for 5 days, until we finally found an even better house than the first. He and I discussed a good offer that was comfortable with my budget which came in at just under 97 percent of the asking price. The sellers accepted the offer. When it came time to assess the inspection report and make a list of what we would like fixed, the list we made with was reasonable for both me and the seller and ended up being agreeable to both sides.
Finally the final walk-through and closing day came around and Mr. Baker was diligent in making sure that everything was to my liking and that I understood everything I was signing. When I got the keys, he was genuinely happy for me and made it clear that I could give him a call if I had any questions about anything.
Overall, Mr. Baker is above and beyond what I could have asked for in a realtor. There are people who care about the final bottom line and there are those who care about the people they work for and doing their absolute best in all things. Mr. Baker is the latter. He is honest, hardworking, respectful, easy to talk to, and a delight to work with. I know that when I eventually buy another home, Mr Baker has set the bar high in what I expect from a realtor. If you are looking for a realtor, John Baker is the one to choose.

John Baker is a very kind and knowledgeable agent. When faced with the emotional and overwhelming task of settling my mother's estate, which included the preparation and sale of her home, John was extremely helpful. His advice on preparing the home for the best presentation really worked. The house sold in three days! It is a relief to have this major piece of the estate handled. Thank you John.

We were touring the house with the listing agent and wanting to make an offer on the house. The listing agent recommended that we contact John Baker as our purchasing agent. From our initial meeting to the final closing event, John Baker's guidance provided an better understanding of the entire home purchase process. John answered our questions whether the subject was a minor or major concern and was very easy to work with.

John Baker was especially helpful in the sale of our home of 41 years. He had good suggestions on 'staging' and preparing our house for best visual presentation. His market analysis of our home value was accurate and he expended great efforts in marketing our home. January 2017
The photography he arranged and the electronic links to our listing were extremely helpful in marketing our house. The number of daily "hits" and "saves" reported from those viewing our listing online were amazing! Our neighbors commented to us frequently that the number of people viewing our house each week was considerable (we had already moved out of state).
We were delighted in the efforts John made to get high exposure of our home to potential buyers. He often went above and beyond our expectations to assist in the best presentation of our property to potential buyers and was a great help in 'closing the deal'.

John went above and beyond in EVERY aspect of our purchase. We would be idiots to not use him again.December 2016
When the seller failed to leave the house in the contractual condition agreed upon John went above and beyond to hold the sellers feet to the fire and fulfill the contract.
John set communications standards that were extremely clear and professional that made working with him very easy.

I bumped into John for the first time almost 3 years ago. He was showing a property on South Hill... we seemed to hit it off... and he wanted to help me find the perfect new home. August 2016
That was 3 years ago.
Three. Years. Of. Showing. Me. Properties.
Most other realtors (or anyone for that matter, short of the Pope) would have probably told me to take a long walk off a short pier. And yet, I could call or text John and he'd typically show me yet another property the very same day.
He's super responsive, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in finding the right home... based on the buyer's criteria (in my case, this changed radically on several occasions).
In short, I'm the buyer from hell. And I can say without hesitation that John is by far the best real estate agent I've come across.
You won't regret working with him.

John and I are brothers in Christ that is why I had zero fears that he would do perfectly in our mission for this property. Any non Christians out there looking for an agent might ask the agent if they are Christian b4 they start working with them. Chances are if the agent practices his faith like John dose your experience will more likely end as favorable as ours did.
