Zillow Review
"Craig was very professional and knowledgeable. Was always available with questions or concerns. Extremely pleased with the selling of our house. We tried selling our house at first by ourselves, but after meeting with Craig we were impressed and knew we needed his help. Would definitely recommend Craig if you are looking to buy or sell."
Zillow Review
"We could not have done our sale without Craig. We shared with him our needs and he went above and beyond to make sure they were accommodated. He sold our house quickly and when the buyer had an issue with lending he again went above and beyond to help them secure the financing so our sale would happen in the time frame we needed. I wouldn’t choose anyone else to help me in the future but or sell in the future."
