About Alex Baker
With 27 years as a top-performing sales professional, I’m a well-recognised name in real estate. Based in Remuera for all of that time I have built an enviable reputation for delivering outstanding results amongst a wide network of clients. In June 2014 I made the exciting move to Auckland’s largest real estate company and joined the dynamic team at Barfoot & Thompson, Remuera.
Known as much for my fun and energy as my astute marketing skills and dedicated professionalism, my success in real estate is underscored by exceptional people skills and a passion for business. A background in hospitality and a legal career with Simpson Grierson – specialising in building and construction law, proved a fantastic grounding for a vocation in the property industry. In today’s market a high level of expertise and energy is essential to guide you through the sales journey. I offer you this and more, with unmatched market knowledge, experience and calmness under pressure.
While I am a keen auction advocate, I recognise that every client is unique. I go out of my way to listen, which allows me to determine a winning marketing strategy for each property.
Achieving the best results for my clients is what drives me. Talk to them and they’ll say the things that set me apart are my absolute integrity, excellent communication and meticulous attention to detail. I believe I am a master of simplicity, authenticity, and resilience. I will tell you how it is and do my utmost to pull the many threads together to achieve win/win outcomes for both buyers and sellers. No matter the issue I will take the lead, find a solution, and put your mind at ease.
Raewyn Anderson, my Personal Assistant, has worked alongside me for over 25 years. While I am the face of my business Raewyn is the highly organised cog that assuredly turns the wheels to make sure things happens behind the scenes. Clients can rely on our synergy to ensure nothing is overlooked and it is this strong commitment to service which gives me an edge.
But it’s not all work for me. I enjoy exercising, walking, pilates, skiing, playing bridge, and entertaining as well as travel. I am a Chair Sponsor of the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra (APO) and help with APO membership programmes and events. Due to my long association with Waiheke Island, I am also a bronze patron of Sculpture on the Gulf. I am also on the Board of the Auckland Bridge Club.
In any market, people want to be reassured they’ve done everything possible to maximise the value of their property. By selecting me for your real estate needs, you’ll know you’ve made a wise choice.
If you are seeking results in real estate, then engage a proven professional and put your trust in me!

To: Alex
They say selling your house is right up there with divorce in the stress ratings, but my experience with you was anything but. The professionalism from all your office, the quality of the photography and the thoroughness of the entire process is to be commended.
Thank you so much for the relaxed, encouraging and endlessly positive attitude you showed me and of course for the excellent result we achieved!
To: Carolyn Vernon (Manager Remuera)
I really appreciate the time you took yesterday at the auction to ensure I was comfortable with the proceedings. It was not required, but reflects the efficiency and professionalism I have received from your office since I first contacted Alex.
I have no hesitation in recommending Remuera Barfoots should the occasion arise.
Joanne Jennings-
Dorothy and I would like to record our appreciation and sincere thanks for your guidance, support and management of the sale of our home. Having originally purchased the property when you were marketing it some twenty years ago I was quickly aware of a connection that you felt for my home and your understanding of its unique features and how much we have enjoyed living here. You greatly helped us with your advice on value and expected ease of sale during the time we were looking for our next home. Your confident appraisal encouraged us to push forward in Auckland's challenging market.
The marketing process was all that we could expect - well produced marketing support documentation, all delivered to time and as agreed and with a lyrical touch to the property description. Your attention to marketing details resulted in an amazing attendance at property viewings. We appreciated your regular feedback and the way we were kept appraised of the process and response of potential purchasers.-
We chose Alex to sell our house after we saw how he worked during an open home in our neighbourhood. Alex is very effective in the way he interacts with people, with his approach and the level of detail evident in his preparation, in his reporting of feedback and also with his timely follow through with sales leads. We also found that he was very honest with his advice and diligent in a time when the market was showing signs of change. He worked hard and we are pleased with the success he achieved on our behalf. It was a pleasure dealing with him.
Kaye & Bill Deverall-
We wish to express our grateful thanks and gratitude for your kindness, patience, professionalism and help, that at times was beyond the call of duty - we were impressed by you working for us even during your holiday. At no time did we feel pressured. You always gave us a variety of choices and let us make our own decisions. Your knowledge and experience made it much less stressful for us and in our view, led to a speedy sale.
We wish you all the best and look forward to you achieving "Top Salesperson of the Year" !!!
