Friendly and very knowledgeable

From the start we were met with Craig’s kind and helpful demeanour, from setting up open homes to informing us of important information on houses we wouldn’t have picked up ourselves. As first home buyers, the process felt overwhelming at times but Craig made it so much easier, answering every question we had for him at any time. At auction day, Craig took care of everything with real skill and helped us secure our perfect first home. We trusted Craig’s judgement completely and we genuinely believe he had our best interests at heart. We can’t recommend him enough and will definitely be in contact with him in future for our next move.

We were recommended Craig by friends who had recently bought their first home. From the get go he was so helpful and I could tell he’s very passionate about what he does. From putting in an offer to bidding for us at auction he was there every step of the way. We’re so thrilled to have bought our first home with Craig on our team ☺️

Craig was very responsive, in contact daily and gave us the level of communication we required which provided a level of reassurance. Craig was genuine in his interactions which quickly built our trust in him. He provided strong feedback and suggestions that allowed us to be ready for the selling process and offered reassurance when concerns (our own doubts) crept in.

Best agent ever! Stress-free process, excellent communicator, patient and highly knowledgeable.

Craig was the biggest support person, who was filled with a world of knowledge not just about real estate but homes in general. He believed in our vision and paid attention to what we liked and disliked right down to the minor details. We felt like he went above and beyond what he really needed to do and made the whole experience feel very personalised to us. Any concerns or questions we had were answered in record timing always! The process of finding the right home took quite a while for us, and when we started to doubt the process he was always there with positive influence and guidance. During the time it took to find the right home, we appreciated Craig’s personality and humour, it made the many open homes a much more enjoyable experience. We could not recommend Craig enough, this process wouldn’t have been this easy without him. The amount of patience he had with us was highly commendable. As a queer couple we thank you for making us feel safe, respected and accepted.

You won’t regret working with Craig!

Craig was an absolute breeze on our journey to buy our first home! Being first home buyers we were unsure of how things worked. He guided us along the process so smoothly & worked so hard on behalf of us. We’ve found our first home - one that we’re so happy with & that’s all thanks to Craig. His knowledge and negotiation with other parties helped us over the line. It was so handy having someone so knowledgeable with where the market was at & being able to get a first glance at off market properties was cool as well. His communication style is great, he’s to the point and very thorough. We will always think of Craig for buying and selling in the future and will pass him onto any friends and family without a doubt!!!
