Before working with Craig Barker, we doubted whether involving a real estate associate was necessary. Craig proved us wrong! From before the first house showing to over a month since we closed on our previous home and our new home, Craig has not only responded within minutes whenever we contact him, but also offers great advice and invaluable information. He walked us through a complicated real estate deal from both the buying and selling ends and has continued to act as a go-between whenever we need information from the previous owners of our new home. He has taken the time to pick up items from our new home and deliver them to our buyers. He has also provided professional referrals for any service we need including banking, painting, electric, plumbing, and landscaping. He went above and beyond when he spent hours on the phone addressing a problem we had with ADT billing (after the real estate deals had closed). In addition to his unmatched expertise and work ethic, Craig is a joy to work with and inserts humor when it is very much needed. If we could give Craig more than 5 stars we would. We give Craig the highest recommendation!

I had the pleasure with working with Craig to buy a beautiful home in Jeffersontown KY. He made the process quick and easy. I'm tough to deal with and ask LOTS of questions and Craig answered them all patiently. Craig sent me some recommendations for a mortgage processor and home warranty company and as I compared rate and services his recommendations were the best across the board. If you get a chance to work with Craig, I highly suggest you take it!

Craig both assisted me with selling my condo and purchasing a new home. He was extremely responsive, often times within 30 minutes to an hour. He was dedicated to ensuring the process was smooth, and had my overall interest in any suggestions he was making. I trust him, and having experienced his assistance with both selling and buying, I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

This is my second time using Craig as my realtor. He sold me my first home 7 years ago which went very quick and easy and just re-sold it to new buyers. He recommended quality people to do repairs found during inspection for basement waterproofing and electrical work. Sold and closed within 90 days.

Hard worker, persistent, aggressive, always available, not afraid of challenging demands. When the potential buyers began making numerous demands after a contract was offered and accepted, he was very creative in defusing a potential deal breaking situation.
