Southern Illinois & Metro East Realtor | Residential & Commercial – Taylor Baker
Your Key to All Things Real Estate — Trusted guidance for buyers, sellers, investors, and business owners.
LET'S FIND YOUR DREAM PROPERTY TOGETHER
Guiding first-time and repeat buyers with confidence
Hi there -
Real estate is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make — and for many, it’s also one of the biggest business decisions they will ever make.
My name is Taylor Baker, and I’m a Realtor® with Market Pro Realty serving all of Southern Illinois and the Metro East. I work with residential buyers and sellers, investors, business owners, and homeowners navigating complex or time-sensitive situations, always with one goal in mind: to help you make the best possible decision for your situation.
Some of my clients are buying their very first home.
Some are selling a home they’ve owned for decades.
Some are building an investment portfolio.
Some are opening, relocating, or expanding a business.
And some are facing difficult or time-sensitive circumstances.
The process may look different for each — but my approach is always the same.
I believe in clear communication, honest guidance, strategic pricing, strong marketing, and skilled negotiation. My role is not to pressure you or rush you into a decision. My role is to help you understand your options, your timing, and the strategy that best fits your goals — whether residential or commercial.
Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or planning your next business move, I’m here to help.
Your Key to All Things Real Estate.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
The Stagg's
Taylor helped us find the perfect home! She made the entire process seamless and effortless. Taylor helped navigate issues we ran into with property lines and county records as well. We will always recommend Taylor to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

The Woodcock's
Taylor was such an amazing agent, I am so grateful I had her in my corner! She was very proactive and knowledgeable. She made time to show me each and every home I wanted to see even if she knew it wasn't a fit for me before I did. She was also very thorough, instead of being in a hurry to make the sale, she pointed out any and all issues that she could tell would arise in the future with a particular house so that I was fully aware and informed before deciding on a home for me and my children. I feel like I would have made a regrettable choice without her expertise to guide me. Thank you Taylor!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Hurt's
Taylor was wonderful to work with. She was very knowledgeable, great at communicating with us and making sure we understood everything. We really appreciated that she kept us up to date as things progressed. She put a lot of effort into selling our house & was very easy to work with. Would highly recommend her for any of your buying/selling needs!
Brandon Rice
Taylor went above and beyond to help me find and purchase my first home. As a first time home buyer, I was clueless on the whole process. Taylor helped me every step of the way - from helping find a lender, setting up inspections, and ultimately getting me in the perfect house - worry free - I couldn’t have asked for more. I would highly recommend Taylor to help you with all of your real estate needs, you won’t be let down!
Shari Rives
10 stars to Taylor Baker, my broker for selling my home. She is absolutely amazing…extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, and accommodating, will go out of her way to get the job done. I would highly recommend her.
The Hickam's
Taylor was very professional from the time we listed our home until closing! She worked very hard to get us under contract within the first week we had our home on the market. I would highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for a realtor to sell or buy a home with.
The Barnett's
Taylor was so awesome to work with. She communicated everything clearly and answered all of our questions. She was there anytime we needed her. We couldn’t have asked for better!
Jeremy Midgett
I have been working with Taylor for many years. She is by far one of the most experienced realtors, that I have worked with. Definitely recommend her to anybody.
Sharron Johnson
Not sure how to start this review but.... I'll try. For 3yrs I worked on paying off student loans and credit card debt just to be the first in my family to purchase a home. I had worked with different realtors before (lots)and I noticed that they were only seeing me as a cash grab and trying to sell me a home that was subpar.Enters Taylor, with her skills and expertise and the process got to rolling. We stayed in touch daily. She listened to all my concerns and questions and actually had answers. She was involved in the entire process and I couldn't thank her enough from the bottom of my heart. She helped me break the cycle of generational poverty for my children. If you are looking for someone to help you with this process (which was not easy) than Taylor is A1 certified. Be smart, choose your realtor wisely. Trust and integrity matters because your family matters and I can tell it mattered to Taylor. Bless her and her family and may the universe bring them blessings in abundance.
