Joel Craig, R.E. Salesperson

Biography

          

  • 2023 Ulster County Board of Realtors Top Producer
  • Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource (SFR) Certified
  • Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist
  • Graduate REALTOR Institute®

I am a real live native of the Hudson Valley! I grew up just outside Woodstock, NY and I have lived in Germantown in Columbia County for almost 30 years.

I simply love where I live; the variety of arts, culture, outdoor activities, and scenic beauty never cease to excite me.

I take full advantage of everything this amazing area has to offer; kayaking, hiking, celebrated restaurants and entertainment. Having grown up here, if you are in the market to buy a home, I am able to help you explore the nuances of the individual towns and hamlets that make up this great place. If you are a seller, I have a clear understanding of your home's position in the market and its special appeal. 

I look forward to guiding you on your journey, wherever it may lead.

Joel Craig was without a doubt the best professional we worked with throughout our entire home buying process. We worked with him for a couple of months to buy our first home. He was very attentive to our needs, incredibly responsive, and was genuinely invested in our wellbeing. Being first time home buyers, he was able to answer all of our questions (there were many!) and be there for anything we needed, at any time. We would highly recommend Joel to anyone looking for a professional, thoughtful, and supportive agent.

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. Put together a list of bidders and called for best and final offers. After identifying the buyer, helped me select the right attorney and expedited the closing process. Joel was patient and professional throughout the whole process and I highly recommend his services.
