ABOUT LEIGH ANN BAKER

I’m Leigh Ann Baker — entrepreneur, investor, and founder of a growing family of purpose-driven businesses built to create opportunity, impact, and legacy.As a Producing Branch Manager and Loan Officer licensed in NC, SC, GA, AL, and FL, I’ve helped hundreds of clients finance homes and build wealth through real estate. Whether it’s a first home, a dream vacation property, or a growing portfolio, I specialize in crafting smooth closing solutions tailored to each client’s goals. As an investor myself, I bring a strategic lens that blends lending expertise with real-world experience.But lending is just one piece of my greater mission.I lead a multi-brand ecosystem that spans real estate, finance, creative strategy, women’s empowerment, and philanthropy — all connected by a shared foundation: empowering people, creating transformative experiences, and giving back. Porch Life Properties – Curated short-term and mid-term rentals across the Southeast, blending hospitality, design, and purpose. The LAB Method – Coaching, events, and programs helping women build purpose-aligned businesses with clarity and confidence. Elevar Creative Co. – A boutique agency providing brand development, digital tools, and launch systems for founders. The Baker Legacy Foundation – A philanthropic initiative focused on adaptive sports, single mothers, education, and community investment.This is more than business — it’s about building a life and legacy rooted in service, sustainability, and meaningful growth. Every venture I launch is designed to operate independently while contributing to a bigger story of impact.When I’m not growing this mission or assisting clients, you’ll find me exploring new places with my husband and daughter, cheering on the Gamecocks or chasing down our next great real estate deal.Let’s build something remarkable — together.
