About Me

I’m Marie Baldwin and most people are curious about my ancestry which is half Mexican and half Korean. I was born in Seoul, Korea where my parents met while my father served in the US Army. I was raised mostly in South Texas and moved frequently when my father transferred jobs during his post-US Army career in upper management with Montgomery Wards. Being constantly uprooted was a difficult thing for me growing up so I vowed not to put my children through that.

In 1993, I met my husband Dean in Virginia Beach, VA while he was serving in the US Coast Guard and I was working civil service for the US Coast Guard. Interestingly, my husband shared a similar childhood experience of moving frequently because of his father’s occupation and we agreed on Wake County to be the place that we would finally call “HOME.” We have been here since 1999 and never looked back. We currently live in Zebulon (since 2013) and enjoying the tranquility of rural life with no more HOA drama!!

I have joined forces in real estate with my husband Dean Baldwin whom I have been married to since 1994 and have raised two talented and beautiful daughters, Madison and Jessica. My husband and I thoroughly enjoy working together and feel very blessed to have the fortune of being able to be in real estate together and loving what we do every day!

Passion is a big deal in my family. Dean is passionate about music and talks about it on TV and radio, specifically SiriusXM. You can hear him host weekly on Classic Rewind as well as Classic Vinyl and Deep Tracks. My daughters are into acting and music. As for me, after selling my Which Wich in Morrisville and food truck in 2020, I took some time to think about what I wanted to do next. I realized that helping people with buying or selling homes was what I had always dreamed of doing one day. It might sound cheesy, but it's true. Just like the lyrics from one of my favorite singers, Luther Vandross, "A house is not a home" until you make it your own with your passions and memories. I'm always thrilled to see the excitement on the faces of new homeowners when they realize their dreams are coming true.

Buying or selling a home is a big deal, and it's different for everyone. I promise to be there every step of the way, understanding how important it is.
