Meet the Bakers

Meet The “Family”

You Are Doing Business With!

WHO WE ARE…

Terry and Kathy Baker have been in “The House Business” since the purchase of their first house in 1980. Since then, they have been Buying, Building, Selling, Lease Optioning and Renting single family Houses in the Wake, Durham, Harnett & Johnston County areas.

They have purchased/owned and sold over 100 houses while managing over 450 tenants in single family houses.

Jason Baker, their nephew, joined “The House Business” in 2001 on a part-time basis while attending college. He is now a full time member of the family team.

In addition to being actively involved in the ever-changing local real estate market, Terry, Kathy and Jason keep abreast of local and regional trends through continuing education classes, seminars and periodicals. Aside from the ongoing efforts we have made to consistently learn more about the real estate market, the most important skill we have learned in the business of buying, selling and managing houses is treating the customer with fairness and respect.

The successes of the past 30 years have proven that “The House Business” is not as much about the “house” as it is the “people.” The House Business is more a “People Business.”  Assisting people seeking help with the transition they need to make with their housing needs.
