Sally Baird, Realtor

Sally Baird, Realtor Personal Service, Exceptional Results Born in Ohio, Sally Baird was raised in Fishers, IN, north of Indianapolis.

She recalls with pride her first job as a teenager in a real estate office. There, Sally was introduced to the intricacies of real estate, observing and learning from the firm’s top real estate professionals. Little did she know that years later she would rank among the most respected REALTORS® in the greater Bloomington area. A licensed REALTOR® since 2002, Sally is a proud graduate of Indiana University, where she completed an undergraduate degree in education – a fitting background, she believes, for the instructive work she often does with first-time homebuyers. Prior to joining Sterling Real Estate in 2019, Sally owned her own real estate business for 10 years, specializing in residential real estate. She is passionate about offering the highest level of service to buyers and sellers. Her natural curiosity drives her to listen and learn about her clients’ real estate challenges. Sally is empathetic and dependable and is admired most for her integrity as a confidante and advocate for her clients. An active professional, Sally is a graduate of the Indiana REALTOR® Leadership Academy, a member of the Network of Independent Brokers, and the Bloomington Board of REALTORS® leadership. She currently serves as the President of the Bloomington Board of REALTORS®. She also is actively involved with the Community Giving and Orientation Committees and serves on the Indiana State Forms committee. Sally was chosen by the Bloomington Board of REALTORS® as the 2020 REALTOR® of the Year. More than 450 REALTOR® members serving Monroe, Owen, and Greene Counties celebrate the accomplishments of one of their own each year who personifies the best qualities in a real estate professional. Sally lives in Bloomington with her husband Joseph, a faculty member with Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, and their four children. When she’s not working – or volunteering at her children’s school, her church as a youth Sunday school teacher, or as an advocate with the Monroe County Chapter of CASA – she’s exploring family-fun activities like movie night or games, baking, or cooking. If there’s any extra time in her busy schedule, you’ll find her reading any of the two or three books she has on her nightstand.
