Professional, knowledgeable and a true team member
From the very beginning we knew our selection of Craig Ackerman was a “fit.” He was most professional, knowledgeable of the market, and realistic in his views in how to best show, market and sell the 2-unit building for its best price. He made favorable recommendations that caused the home to sell within 30 days, and without any complications.
Escrow closed quickly and we are deeply indebted to Craig and his selected team for making our sales effort as easy as could be imagined. He kept us fully informed throughout the entire process, made judicious decisions when necessary, and did not become a distraction to our other duties. We would confidently recommend Craig Ackerman and his group to any organization having a need for representation in a real estate transaction. He truly became a team member with us.”

A force of nature
I’ve worked with Craig a number of times when I referred clients to him. He is a tireless and dedicated real estate professional who will do whatever it takes to get his client the best real estate deal they desire.
He worked with clients to both buy and sell real estate and each said he was a force of nature when it came to getting the job done. Further, Craig Ackerman and his group specialize in assisting estate planning attorneys sell real estate from a probate or trust administration. He will provide several immediate complimentary services, including a copy of the latest deed and drive-by appraisal. He really takes control over the situation, and the attorney knows the job will get done without a lot of supervision.

His construction background is a huge advantage
Craig Ackerman is simply the best Realtor® for residential properties in San Francisco. He comes totally prepared with a marketing plan, and proceeds to get great results. In my view, the key to his success is his constant effort to improve his knowledge of the real estate market, and his extreme work ethic. Once he is on the job he does not rest – the property will be sold. A further advantage – his construction background gives him a huge advantage in identifying any problems with a building, and how that will or will not affect the sales price.
I have known Craig for several years, and I have never experienced such an effective real estate agent. He has handled several difficult transactions for me with complete competence.

Results and passion
We hired Craig and his team for this project because his professionalism and thoroughness stood out. Craig and his team transformed the property into a showcase home. We achieved a sale in 3 days because, among other factors, Craig phoned agents in the neighborhood and found one that had a willing buyer.
Meanwhile, an identical home was for sale that lingered on the market for 243 days before they achieved a sale and, it was for less money than ours.
I could not be more delighted with the results and passion that Craig and his team put forth… They did everything they promised and more!”

The exposure he got us was amazing
As the trustee of a trust that held a multimillion dollar home in Mill Valley, there were a number of heirs and other people watching how I handled the sale of this property. I had already interviewed several Realtors® by the time Craig Ackerman was referred to me.
Craig was not with a major brokerage, which concerned me at first. However, during our first meeting which lasted three hours, Craig explained how being independent freed him to work in my best interest. He assured me I could be as hands on or hands off as I liked, and convinced me that his stager and other support contractors were absolutely top of the line. And very importantly, he sold me on his ability to reach the target buyers for our house. Craig came through on all his promises and more.
Our situation was not easy. There were 33 homes priced near our price point in and around Mill Valley. The average sale time was nearly 189 days with many homes on the market for over a year going expired or withdrawn. The exposure he got us was amazing. Craig and his team had over 65 brokers come through on the first day. The home went into contract in 9 business days, received multiple offers, sold for more than asking, and closed in 3 weeks. The beneficiaries thought I was a rock star!
I can wholeheartedly recommend Craig and his team. He’ll be your partner in getting results.”

Complete overview of what we could expect
I’m very happy we chose Craig to handle the sale of the property. While we considered many agents, his presentation stood out because he pinpointed what his intentions were and why, and backed it up with convincing information. Craig was the only one that provided a complete overview of what we could expect from start to finish.”
