Mike Baas

Jackie and I moved to the Villages in June of 2013, after I retired from education. I had spent 35 years in education, taught Biology, life science, Physical Education and was an Athletic Director. My retirement came as a need to help my mother take care of my ill father, who has since passed away. We both are very active in the Villages, we enjoy the squares, we play golf and spend lots of time in the neighborhood pool. Jackie still works full time for Publix’s, 466A, she is a Nationally Certified Pharmacy Technician. I worked for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for 35 years in the pits and garage. I was a safety official for all race teams. I play golf several times a week, both executive and championship. I had to give up my real passion 5 years ago, double knee replacement. I officiated football and basketball for over 40 years, all levels from elementary to college preseason games. I was born and raised in the Indianapolis area. Attended Indiana University in Bloomington, worked with the National Championship basketball team from 1979 thru the 1981 season. Married my first wife and we have 3 children all grown and married. I also have 4 wonderful grandchildren. I married my current wife, Jackie in 2013, in front of Glenview Country Club. We live in the Village of Woodbury, Sunnybrook Villas. Real estate for me began in 2000 when I got my Indiana license and began working for Coldwell Banker, in Franklin Indiana. When we moved to the Villages, I reestablished my license and began with Coldwell Banker Ellison. I returned to Coldwell Banker Vanguard in March of 2023, after spending time with Remax Premier and EXP. I have been a consistent producer at all of my stops with both listings and sales of over 1 million dollars yearly
