Personable and helpful. Would highly recommend Craig

Craig was communicative and punctual. He put a lot of effort in to our campaign and listened to our input while making his own recommendations where necessary.

If you want an agent who will go out of his way to maximize the value in your home, Craig's the guy.

Craig had some real challenges to overcome to get buyers to auction and this was all related to information about the property. What impressed me was the proactive attitude to sourcing, collating and communicating information to buyers that Craig exhibited. Craig really hussled, never accepted that he couldn't find an answer, front footed every eventuality and I don't believe he could have done any more to get more buyers into the auction room. Craig was exceptionally communicative throughout the whole marketing, sale and auction process. Was realistic, authentic and didn't oversell our expectations. I wouldn't class myself as the easiest of vendors to deal with but Craig left me feeling relaxed and comfortable with the process at every turn. I didn't know Craig or even know of him before this experience but wouldn't hesitate to use his talents in the future.

Craig worked hard to get us a satisfactory result. We appreciate his dedication to get us a sale

Communication was excellent, kept us in the loop the whole time. He put his negotiation skills on full show trying to get a better result on confirmation day. Maintained a professional but laid back persona throughout the whole process. Craig even helped us out of a spot on settlement day, which was unexpected but truly appreciated.

Buyer review
Our experience with Craig.

Our experience with Craig.

Craig consistently provided excellent advice and valuable feedback, openly sharing his knowledge throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer our questions and made time to discuss anything we needed. Friendly, approachable, and genuinely supportive, he regularly went out of his way to help us both during the search for our home and throughout the purchasing process. Craig has been a lifesaver, we cannot overstate this and are grateful for all his help.

Craig is our new hero

Craig is our new hero

Craig was the best person to deal with through our entire homebuying experience. He answered every single question we had, laughed at our horrid jokes, supported us through the auction process and was there for us every step of the way. Craig is on the invite list for a beer at the housewarming! Craig put up with our thousands of phone calls and never made us feel like we were dumb for asking questions.
