Thank you Craig for the best service and help I have received. He is very knowledgeable and understands the market very well to give you good advice. The first date I met Craig, I know he is the person I would trust 100%. I took all of his advice and surely never doubt it. He has helped us sell our house very smoothly. I am glad and happy for those who have had a chance to work with him. You will deserve the best.

Craig expertly helped us navigate both the buying and selling of our home during some rocky real estate times (the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and when the Fed increased interest rates and buyers became harder to come by). We trusted him through and through to take into consideration all factors and provide the best guidance. As a result we purchased the perfect home for our family at the time, and were able to get a fair price for it when it was time to move on. We highly recommend him for his knowledge, courtesy, and professionalism. You won't be disappointed.

We could not have done our sale without Craig. We shared with him our needs and he went above and beyond to make sure they were accommodated. He sold our house quickly and when the buyer had an issue with lending he again went above and beyond to help them secure the financing so our sale would happen in the time frame we needed. I wouldnt choose anyone else to help me in the future but or sell in the future.

I live in Dubai and I wanted to buy a summer home in Champaign. I spent a long time searching on Zillow and eventually found a place. Craig has been a phenomenal realtor and representative of my interests. His knowledge of all aspects of the process, the local market and other members of the profession is outstanding, but what makes Craig such a remarkable realtor is his willingness to go far beyond what one would expect of a realtor. He has helped me through the process of buying a home in many ways that I never would have expected, and all without my ever asking. I have no hesitation in saying that Craigs honesty and willingness to help his clients is truly phenomenal.

Craig has been beyond helpful during our two home purchases while living in Mahomet. You will be hard pressed to find a more personable realtor than Craig. He gets to know you and your family in order to ensure that he can meet your family's needs. I would strongly encourage anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in Champaign County to contact Mr. Buchanan.
