Kendal Baker, a native of Hoosick Falls, has been working in real estate since 2003, after returning to the area from the Philippines, where he was active in investment banking and financial advisory work. Prior to his work in the Philippines, Kendal was a corporate lending officer for the Chicago office of an international bank.
Kendal was a risk management officer for several years in the head office of a Munich-based bank.
He holds a B.S. from SUNY Albany and an M.B.A. from Columbia University. Kendal enjoys working with clients towards the successful sale or purchase of their home.
Marge Marker began her real estate career in 1972, when as a housewife and Mother of five young children, she thought of real estate as a “part-time” venture.
Much to her surprise, she took to the business like a “duck to water” and became a very dedicated and knowledgeable realtor. Her specialty was and still is meeting and helping to fill peoples’ needs.
Along the way, she convinced her “farmer” husband Richard to join and use his extensive knowledge of land use and country properties. Together they established “Marker’s Octagon Realty”, the well-known business that is owned today by Kendal Baker.
Marilyn Douglas, a native of Hoosick Falls, holds BA and MA Degrees from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. Prior to her affiliation with Marker’s Octagon Realty, she taught high school business and computer classes at Hoosick Falls Central.
Lending her talent, experience and enthusiasm to community service is second nature to Marilyn. She served the residents of the area in various elected positions from County Legislator, Town Supervisor and Village Trustee for over two decades.
