As they refer to the county as "Anyway Lenawee", the second slogan is "Baker Acres". Unfortunately this company was built on building cheap quality and cookie cutout neighborhoods. With no other competition in town. However if you can stomach through the sales side of the business you will eventually meet the real brains of the operation (Matt Baker) which has got to be the most honest and respectful in the local industry. He regularly shows up on each job site and takes any unknown calls while between job site inspections. My mother purchased a condo in Rivers Edge, new build about 3 years ago which has been an undeveloped Baker community of 20 years. I can honestly say that the material product has improved to a double pane Anderson windows/doors from their standard single builder grade material. However, once the "one year" Baker warranty is over, well you're on your own. The cement driveway and patios cement has been crumbling since the first year of build in which a simple leaf blowers keeps flaking the poorly poured cement which is going to need to be replaced in the next two years. Also, no standard landscaping was provided and it's still debatable with the association and Baker as to who is responsible. The association is refusing to touch and add the Baker promised trees and surrounding landscape to conceal electrical boxes for which Baker Construction has blocked any responsibilities which contradicts the deed which was promised in the purchase agreement. Not to mention these horrible standard unknown cabinetry from Carter lumber which is advertised as custom Merillat/Masco cabinetry that is delaminating and mis coloring and broken drawers and door frames within 3 years after installation. Our sales slick was promised upgraded Merillat cabinetry which was is a lie because I once designed Merillat cabinets and know the warranty for these cabinets and nowhere is it stamped nor information from Merillat warranty provided. Lowe's can provide a higher grade cabinetry. Some other sales ads promise all stainless steel appliances for which we had to purchase on our own. So as far as getting any kind of warranty work performed, forget it after the first year with Baker Construction purchase agreement then you're on your own especially since the owners purchase name for any warranty is listed as the contractor and not the new home owner and it is hell to get your faulty warranty products taken care of. Unfortunately once you get past the shady sales portion you will then be working with the Older brother named Matt. Matt will answer all of his calls and personally takes time to connect with not only you as the new owner but also introduces himself the the neighboring members as well. He is very consistent and conscientious and respected across the board. The other processes are the worst and would never recommend this builder. The developer starts the process but does not purchase the entire development (lots and land) so it's all a "build as needed" which they have always practiced with every Development. The results always ends with non consistent developed or landscaped as a typical developer provides and offers. If you're able and willing to spend the extra money to be handled beyond the "one year warranty" then keep searching for a custom builder/contractor for a unique design and the personal attention to detail that warranties their craftsmanship. But to invest in a Baker development I have only one word of advise, Buyers be aware especially when it comes to contractual agreements!! No offense but Carter lumber was never meant to be a custom selection center and you're on your own for appliances. I would suggest for a prospective homeowner to not take the low ball "allowances" for cabinets, c-tops, appliances in which the developer receives major kickbacks and lumber discounts (line of credit for purchasing power) for which is bankrolled for continuing their building development. When you meet Matt for the "punch out" meaning ongoing unfinished issues before receiving the keys, rest assured that Matt not only accepts personal responsibility but coordinates with his crew as to the attention required to make your move in is as smooth as possible. Best of luck to you and your wife and children. You are not only forcing better quality built homes and a growing future, but you married to a smart business woman herself and have a beautiful successful hard working children. read more

After our deal falling through, it took us threatening to take them to court to get our earnest money back. Our realtor sent numerous emails and first they said property owners would not sign the release than they were waiting for the broker to sign off to issue our money back. In my opinion i would not use this broker due to the lack of follow through. And i know nobody likes to lose a sale but no reason to hold on to money that is going to be refunded anyway. We felt since we were not buying the home, we can wait until they want to give us Our money. read more
