Testimonials

"Brian immediately went to work and provided all the information that my wife and I could possibly use: photographs, maps community information. He even provided additional helpful information on other items like the "invisible fence" for my two dogs. Mr. Craig really went above and beyond the call of duty to present the area to us and to make us feel welcome. He has even called after the sale to ensure everything was going smoothly."

I came upon the scene stumbling in on a referral to the offices of Brian Craig. I knew nothing about real estate and the complexities that are involved in buying a home. However, Mr. Brian Craig dispatched, in a most expeditious manner, all my fears. He sat down with me and calmly instructed me on how the entire affair was to take place. In business I don't believe I have ever come into contact with a more knowledgeable, experienced, caring and patient man. It is my opinion that if anyone seeks to buy a piece of real estate, and is confused or wary of the processes involved, I definitely would recommend going to speak to Brian Craig at Keller Williams Realty in Ann Arbor.

"As first time home buyers, we did not know the process of buying a home very well. Brian Craig made us feel welcome to the home buying process and made us feel that we could always contact him. Even though we knew that he had several clients, he made us feel like we were #1. We were extremely impressed with Brian."

"I wanted to take few minutes to acknowledge your efforts as well as commend the patience you displayed through the sale and purchase of my homes. Relocating to the Detroit Area was not an easy decision for me to make. Quite honestly...I dreaded the thought of all the activities associated with the sale and purchase of a home. The thought of dealing with Real Estate Agents (whom I always viewed had an ‘out-to-get-a-buck' & ‘you-need-me-attitude' as well as uncaring by nature) was not something I was looking forward to. On our initial visit your professionalism, sales pitch and attitude was contrary to the above and convinced me that your goal would be to make the process as quick, painless and profitable as possible for me (key-word "me"). As a result of your marketing strategy my home sold much faster than I was prepared for (about 3 days). Your negotiations maximized my profitability on the sale of my current home, and more than CMA on the purchase of my new home. And your web site provided me a means to quickly access information regarding my transactions. Most importantly, you were patient & understanding with me during what has been a difficult transition. In recognizing/acknowledging that I did not made this an easy task for you...it is important to me that you know how much I appreciate the care, attention, time and effort you spent on my behalf. Also I wanted to say a very personal THANK YOU to both you and your team. All of your efforts minimized the stress of my transition and has successfully changed my personal view of realtors as a whole. While I am hoping that this will be my last transition of this nature...if circumstances ever require it...your team will be "The Team" for me. Once Again....THANKS MUCH!

"My wife Cheryl and I recently bought a house in Ann Arbor with the assistance of Brian Craig. We wanted you to know how pleased we were with his effort and professional behavior throughout the 4-month process. Brian took it all in stride, and found what must be one of the few house in Ann Arbor Hills that was on the market which we could afford while meeting our needs. We would be happy to recommend Brian as a Buyer's agent to anyone looking for housing in the Ann Arbor Area."
