Prior to moving to Southwest Michigan, Jennifer Baron spent the early part of her career in Chicago, where she worked as a location scout and manager in television and film. This role catapulted her into real estate, as one of her duties was to find short-term rentals for cast and crew members. Possessing a drive to work in real estate, she boldly sent a letter to the founder of a new brokerage she saw featured in Chicago Magazine. Hired days later, Baron boasts a storied and successful career spanning more than two decades. 

Unique to Baron and a nod to her prior work experience, is that she approaches real estate transactions like productions. Her masterful coordination of all moving parts for optimal client experience is a key reason why she is referred to by clients as one of hardest-working agents they’ve ever met. She simultaneously employs professional home staging and strategic property pricing for market conditions “Consistently, for the past decade, my listings sell at or above asking price within days,” she says. “My three-pronged formula is right pricing, absolute best presentation and the best marketing available in the industry.”

In addition to numerous professional certifications including Certified Negotiation Expert, Accredited Staging Professional and Pricing Strategy Advisor, Baron is a member of national and local Realtor associations and serves on numerous committees. She is proudly one of @properties Christie’s International Real Estate’s original agents, now celebrating her 18th year with the brokerage. 

A passionate environmentalist and organic gardener, Baron raises and releases Eastern Black Swallowtail butterflies to help pollinator populations. She enjoys repurposing beautiful old things, home decor items in particular, and often puts her creative eye to use in design and remodeling projects for friends and clients.
