We extensively interviewed two seasoned realtors with excellent selling histories in our area. Having searched online for appropriate questions , we asked about strategy, experience, trends, and logistics. We were also wisely advised by a friend to choose someone temperamentally aligned with our own personalities. We chose Craig because he obviously liked our house, immediately understood its strengths, and had a coherent selling strategy that made sense during a time when the market was becoming uncertain. He also has decades of experience and, as a native to our community, understood its selling points, potential client base, trends, and challenges. Most importantly, he was always calm, responded to all of our questions in a timely fashion, and he was one step ahead of us and the market at all times. He provided a thorough list of detailed comps, as promised, within 24 hours of our interview, before we'd even signed a contract. That was critical and, from what we've heard, is not a given. Prior to listing, we had a potential buyer. Craig handled the negotiations on our behalf and, if successful, the fee would've been a reasonable $1000. They loved the house but it was too expensive for them. Therefore we moved to a Coming Soon strategy, followed by two open houses. Over the six weeks our historic home was on the market, there was strong and consistent interest from buyers, but economic and political uncertainties were starting to soften the market. As time progressed we found that although we had fewer viewers, they were more serious about purchase and coming from further distances to tour the house. Craig was very reassuring during this period of uncertainty for us, and his instincts were spot on: following the sudden appearance of multiple bidders, we ended up with a strong offer that included a 15% insured purchase above appraisal, up to a total that exceeded the asking price. Craig assured us that the appraisal would reflect his estimate, and he was again correct. We were delighted to end up with a solid offer and six weeks to pack up before closing. Throughout our partnership, Craig was an excellent communicator, savvy strategist, and wise advisor. He followed up on every lead and, best of all, he'd seen everything; nothing fazed him. He was always reassuring, without over-promising. We highly recommend Craig Alexander.

I am grateful to Craig for the superior assistance and expertise in the sale of my home. He went above and beyond in assisting me after being located to another state and unable to tie up many loose ends. He attended to these on my behalf when I was unable to. It was a very favoarable experience.

My husband Jim and I would like to thank Craig Alexander for the professionalism, support and thoughtfulness we were shown during the recent sale of our home in April/2020. These are very difficult times for everyone at the moment and there were a few times we were not sure we would get through it but Craig took care of everything and kept everything moving and supported in every way! He is truly a TOP NOTCH agent and we would highly recommend Craig for your real estate needs.

Craig was easy to work with and always quickly answered my (many) questions. My husband and I just bought our first home and were overwhelmed several times by the process. It was reassuring to have someone experienced like Craig on our side.

Craig has been wonderful. We have been running him around, making lists, and sending him email after email about prospective houses, and he has been amazingly patient and helpful. He definitely knows the business, and we are glad we found him!
