Testimonials

Joel Craig is a knowledgeable agent and was very pleasant to work with. He was responsive to any questions we had. I would definitely work with him again, and I would recommend him to anyone looking up in The Catskills area.

- Zillow User: agcarrino9

Joel Craig is/was always available and responds within an hour if not minutes! He listens and remembers our interests, likes, and dislikes for property searches. He is NEVER pushy and always quick to research and respond. Joel has sold two homes for us and recently assisted in our lake front property purchase! Thank you Joel!

My husband and I had been searching for our first time home in Columbia County. We were so LUCKY that Joel Craig of Coldwell Banker responded to our inquiry. Joel was always so quick to respond, make all the appointments to see houses and offer moral support along the way. I cannot stress how important it is to have the right real estate agent. It makes a huge difference as you are going through the process of buying a home. We found the house we really loved and I owe it all to Joel. There’s no place like home. Bravo Joel!

Joel Craig conducted numerous walk throughs over a six month period even during adverse winter conditions. Always helpful and regularly shared buyer feedback.

My experience with Joel Craig was a seller with a professional real estate agent for the last five years. I had a few different agents, but Joel was the person who I needed to sell my property.

- Jose Matute

Joel Craig was simply the best real estate agent I could have ever wished for. Within 2 weeks of the listing being posted, he had two offers and went above and beyond doing extra things to help get ready for my closing. It was a complete dream. I would recommend Joel Craig to anyone and everyone. He will make a potentially stressful process- the best it could ever be!

Joel Craig was sincere, honest and thoughtful.  He made a stressful experience feel comfortable, explaining issues that cropped up and answering all our questions.  He is a professional in every sense of the word.  I can not say enough about him.

Joel Craig was very patient in our search, especially since we looked at over 20 places and he was great about staying in touch & up to date during the extremely long closing. We very much enjoyed working with Joel.
