Specializing in Listing and Marketing Properties in Chicagoland and the Lakefront Communities of Northwest Indiana - Craig has been a full-time licensed real estate broker since 2002, and since that time has exceeded his clients' expectations for sellers and investors by expertly preparing properties, advocating during negotiations, and working beyond the first contract, to ensure maximum leverage for his clients. He is a member of the local and national Realtor® organizations. His prior career in software and technology sales gave him the skills he uses today to focus carefully on a client's needs, and assemble the resources needed to meet those needs. Craig's work as a volunteer docent for the Chicago Architecture Foundation's famous River Tour, and enthusiasm for Chicago's architecture led him to pursue his career in real estate.
