About Us

The best estate agents have a thorough technical knowledge of property; the local area and conveyancing as well as being fussy perfectionists with a camera and putting as much effort into the preparation of property particulars as writing an A-grade essay. They are a hand to hold and the voice of reason when things are getting rocky and the people who should joyfully dance with you when you finally collect the key to your new house. They should, above all, care deeply about you the customer and your home.

We are blessed to have an office with wonderful people like this…

    • What makes me smile:

      The sun shining, spending time with my family, not forgetting my snowy cat Wilfy and PUPPIES !!

    • Not my cup of tea:

      PG Tips, it’s Yorkshire tea, biscuit brew for me, don’t knock it until you try it.

    • Favourite Island spot:

      My stomping ground, walking from Lake through to Shanklin along the cliff path, then strolling down to the seafront and walking back along the revetment to Sandown.

      Its such a beautiful walk, with plenty of places to stop for coffee, cake and ice cream, what more could you want?

    • Guilty Pleasure :

      Love Island, Married at First Sight and Lego, don’t judge me.

    • Super Power (according to Megan):

      The ability to see the joy in everything and her positivity is uplifting.

    A little bit about me...

    I was the first of my family born on the Isle of Wight but feel like an Islander through and through. After being educated in Ryde, I joined a local estate agency after my A Levels. Buying my own agency in 2005 was the best 30th birthday present ever! I’m surrounded by an amazing group of friends and colleagues who all share my passion for property and people. I live in Brighstone with my two doggy babies (you’ll meet the gang if you pop into my office).

    • My role as Managing Director:

      The overall running of the business (fun stuff like accounts and VAT returns); specialist market appraisals, especially village property and making sure we offer a level of service that surprises and delights our customers.

    • What makes me smile:

      Big ginger beards, incredibly strange films and when I look down to find one of my dogs smiling up at me!

    • Not my cup of tea:

      Incorrectly used apostrophes on advertising signs. Grr!

    • Favourite Island spot:

      My commercial property renovation in Newport which I’m bringing back to its original historic glory.  It’s a labour of love, but I adore my ramshackle old pile.

    • Guilty Pleasure:

      Star Wars! I’m a secret nerd of the highest order so am partial to a bit of table top gaming (usually when I’m supposed to be doing my accounts!).

    A little bit about me...

    I was born and bred on the Island, and am a Gurnard girl. I lived away for a few years in London and then realised the error of my ways and moved back with my husband in 1996. My background as a financial advisor eventually led to working in estate agency, which is where I met Megan. When she set up on her own in 2005 I was thrilled to join her and here I am, doing something that I love and am lucky enough to be good at. I cannot imagine working anywhere else or with anyone else, and even though being a great estate agent is stressful and emotional, it is hugely rewarding and I wouldn’t swap it for the world!

    • My role as Office Manager:

      The daily running of the office and supporting the team; market appraisals all over the Island and the juicy, difficult parts of sales progressing.

    • What makes me smile:

      Long sunny days; really good locally sourced food and working in my garden.

    • Not my cup of tea:

      Bad manners and having to decide what to have for tea.

    • Favourite Island spot:

      Gurnard Green at sunset – it is where my husband and I sat and decided to come back to the Island, and have never regretted it..

    • Guilty Pleasure:

      Emily in Paris – I love a bit of girly escapism…

    • Super Power (according to Megan):

      Quite simply the best estate agent on the IW.  (I’ve no proof but I dare you to find a better one!)

  • Luca & Nimrod

    A little bit about me...

    Luca – Head of Well Being

    Luca, on the left, is here to help us de-stress during our busy day in the office. His soulful eyes and gentle manner can only make you feel chilled, and remind you what is important in the world. He may not say much, but his loving nature speaks volumes and he helps us all get through particularly difficult transactions.

    Nimrod – Head of Reception

    Nimrod, on the right, loves to greet clients when they come into the office with a gentle woof and a wag of his tail. He also thinks of himself as a bit of a security guard, so be prepared for him to check your shopping bags for you, just in case you happen to be carrying sausages, which he might have to take away for inspection.

    Ms G – Chillerton

  • Megan Baker are a great estate agents. All the staff were very helpful and efficient, consistently updating us throughout the whole process. They manage to be friendly without compromising their professionalism. We would definitely use Megan Baker again given the opportunity.

    Mrs L – Cowes

  • Everyone at Megan Baker has been absolutely wonderful. They have been kind, considerate and best of all totally professional. It has been a relief to have them involved in the negotiations for the purchase of my house where their impartial and practical help has been appropriate and appreciated. I have reversed my opinion of Estate Agents! Thank you Megan Baker and all your staff.

    Mrs V – Brighstone

  • Friendly team who have been excellent with communicating the situation throughout the process of selling our home. They have been helpful in getting the deal done in a timely manner and acted professionally in all aspects of the sale.

    Mr & Mrs P – Cowes

  • At no time did I feel that you were just ‘doing the job’, you walked the extra mile on our behalf….this makes you a very hard act for any other estate agents to follow.

    Ms B – Ryde

  • We are thrilled with the attentive yet not intrusive service we have had from Megan Baker Estate Agents, from the very professionally presented details right through to reliable accompanied viewings, first rate admin and courteous contact when needed. All this through the ups and downs a house sale can bring with it: Well done to all the team.

    Mr & Mrs A – Merstone

  • Amazing customer service, very accommodating and supportive especially as a first time buyer. nothing seemed too much trouble and I felt 100% confident asking ‘silly’ questions due to my lack of experience in buying a house! Truly wonderful people!

    Miss R – Newport

  • Just to say thank you so much for all your help and support through the last few months – you have been amazing, going above and beyond the call of duty!  I’m so pleased and relieved it all worked out in the end – at times I didn’t believe we’d get to this point, so thank you and your team, I really appreciate everything you’ve done.

    Mr & Mrs M – Newport

  • Thank you so much. We are both so thankful for all your help and support over the last few months. We really appreciate everything that you and the team have done for us.   I certainly wouldn’t have coped without your support, thank you.

    Miss C & Mr A – Cowes

  • Great professional service. Easy to chat with. Always on hand, even out of normal working hours. Kept us informed every step of the way. Would definitely recommend.

    Mr M & Miss D – East Cowes

  • Anne, Megan, Jennifer and the team at Megan Bakers have been fantastic throughout our house sale. Communication has been great, with almost daily updates from the team. If you’re contemplating some of the web-only agents then I seriously urge you to consider the other benefits you receive from using a local agent. I hope that we won’t be using any more estate agents for a long while, but if we do, it will be Megan and the team!

    Mr & Mrs C – Cowes

  • The team exceeded our expectations time and again. They are willing and happy to go the extra mile and do so with smiles, encouragement and positivity. A huge thank you from us to the team at Megan Baker, we couldn’t have done it without you!

    Mr & Mrs L – Cowes

  • Thank you so much for all your hard work, especially towards the end!  We would certainly recommend your agency to others.

    Mrs A – Ryde

  • Megan and her staff have been superb right from the outset, we are convinced that nobody could have improved on the wonderful service we received. I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending the company to anybody. We will always be grateful to Megan and her fantastic staff. A big, big thank you to them all.

    Mr & Mrs D – Newport

  • Thank you so very much for all your help selling our family home, it’s been very emotional, but your help and caring ways have made it possible, thank you to you all.

    Mrs D – Cowes

  • We are delighted in the very professional way in which you and your team have efficiently dealt with each situation which arose during this journey of selling our property.  Throughout this sale, we have felt you have kept us regularly well informed of each opportunity and viewings and even when at times this was slow you kept us informed and engaged in the process.

    Mr R – East Cowes

  • Every member of staff whom I had contact with was helpful, informed, polite and professional. In fact I found nothing to criticise at all. I have no hesitation in recommending Megan Baker Estate Agents to anyone wishing to sell or buy a property on the Isle of Wight.

    Mr F – Carisbrooke

  • We have had such a positive experience from start to finish with the whole team. We have got to know them all by name, we have been kept in the loop at all times and they have handled this difficult and emotional selling experience so professionally and personally we would certainly recommend them and use them again. They understood this was a big journey for us selling our home and didn’t just see it as business! Highly recommend! Thank you all!

    Mrs N – Newport

  • Pro active dealing with buyers and sellers queries. Always one step ahead. Outstanding communication at all times. The entire team extremely professional and fully aware of our needs. I can not recommend Anne highly enough, she is passionate about every aspect of her job. She made what can be a very stressful time absolutely stress free. Thank you 😊
