After nine years as a successful, top producing agent at William Raveis, I was given the opportunity to manage the Avon office in 2018 and the Farmington office in 2019. This position allows me to leverage my knowledge of real estate sales, analysis of market data, career development and training experience in both the real estate and financial services industry.

As a Sales Manager, the agents are my customers. This isn't a tag line, it's a commitment to an "agent-centric" culture throughout our company. Simply put, it is my main priority to provide an atmosphere of team collaboration, business planning and professional coaching; and most importantly a fun and positive workplace!

I have been with Raveis since 2005 - the Avon office the entire time. Never thought it was possible to have a manager that has been successful in Real Estate on her own, to have the ability to really care about all of the agents in an office no matter what their production. And when I say; care it... Geena Becker (Geena & Co) (Avon Office)

William Raveis made the right choice when they named Dawn Baker our office manager.

Through the last year Dawn has implem... Brenda and Mike The Via Domus Team (Avon Office)
It is a real privilege to work with Dawn Baker. I came to William Raveis with a simple desire to learn this business from a totally unrelated work background.

"The best decision we made in selling our house was to choose Dawn Baker as our agent. Since we had lived in the house for 44 years, we needed someone to get us through the entire unfamiliar, and sometimes overwhelming, process.

Our agent, Dawn, was available 24/7 during the home buying process. Relocating from another state, Dawn went above and beyond her duties as a real estate agent to help us in every aspect of the home buying process. Couldn't have asked for better customer service or a better agent! Claire and Mat...

We have received the best service ever. We have sold many homes over the years but never experienced the service we received from our agent Dawn Baker. Gerald/Mary Ann Burke (Simsbury, CT)
Through the approx. 18 month process, Dawn was always available, patient, pleasant and knowledgeable. Dawn also was on top of new listings. We seemed to always get in to view the homes as soon as a listing we were interested came up.

Our agent had a lot of helpful information about the home buying process. She clearly explained any questions or concerns we had. I would definitely recommend my agent again.
Quick in responding to our questions via text, phone and email.com Overall a great experience!
Dawn was a pleasure to work with in the buying and selling of our homes. Her professionalism, enthusiasm, and patience were wonderful throughout the process.
We had been looking at houses for about a year and had run into Dawn Baker enough times to know that she was the one for us. Dawn told us exactly what to do to our house to get it ready to sell and, sure enough, it sold in 9 days. Dawn then found us the PERFECT house within the month. We could not b...

Our agent, Dawn, was available 24/7 during the home buying process. Relocating from another state, Dawn went above and beyond her duties as a real estate agent to help us in every aspect of the home buying process. Couldn't have asked for better customer service or a better agent!
Dawn Baker was always available and in contact with me with the selling. She used every tool at her disposal. She is always upbeat and has a positive attitude.
Due to the fact that we moved from out of state, flexibility and honesty were the two most important and helpful aspects of our experience working with Dawn through William Raveis. We could not have been happier with our purchase and appreciate everything Dawn did for us, pointing us in the right d...
Efficient. Timely. Thomas Handel (West Hartford, CT)
I moved across the country sold a condo and bought a house in about 4 weeks. This was probably the biggest challenge already along with the need for temporary housing. Dawn was able to make all of these things happen for me. I am very grateful for that. Daniel Munroe (Aurora, CO)
I would recommend Dawn regardless of what agency she worked for. I interviewed a couple agents before meeting her and new immediately she was the right agent for me.
we met on a Friday, took pictures on Monday, brokers open on Tuesday and sold, literally, on Wednesday.
