Charlotte grew up in Denmark and came to California in 1979 and settled in Woodland Hills. In 1989 she came to Santa Ynez to do a dressage (equestrian) exhibition and fell in love with the Valley. She moved here a year later and can't imagine living anywhere else.
She has combined her real estate career with her equestrian career for the past twenty years. Her commitment to excellence earned her a bronze medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona as well as a Silver medal at the North American Championship in 1997. Charlotte specializes in horse properties and her vast knowledge of horses and the horse business helps to make her an expert in that area.
Charlotte is married to financial planner and polo player Joel Baker. They have an 18 year old son named Zachary. Their lifestyle is very active and includes riding, tennis and ballroom dancing. Charlotte is a very well respected member of the community, having volunteered for a local mentoring group since 2001. She is also involved with an Equestrian youth group from Compton. Some of the kids are regular visitors to her and Joel's ranch in Buellton. In 2006 she was named volunteer of the year for the Santa Ynez Valley.
Charlotte is still very active in the equestrian world and travel a fair amount to judge and compete. Because of that she has partnered up with Patti Cotter, to make sure one of them is always available to take care of your needs.
