Craig Lively, Broker/ North Shores Realty Group - Petoskey

Craig was such a valuable asset throughout the process of the sale of my house. His expertise was used to the fullest since I was out of State during most of the sales process. He kept me informed about all the developments and details pertaining to the sale and kept me abreast any information I needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for honesty and integrity in the home buying/selling process. Thanks Craig! Well done!

Sadly, we had a very negative experience with Craig. He was in the role as double agent for us. There were two issues with the house that were not listed in the seller’s disclosure. The electricity to the barn had been disconnected and redirected to another outbuilding. We had been assured the barn electricity worked. It could only be repaired by adding a much larger box to the house, because the original one was not in code as it was, costing thousands of dollars. Worst of all, he never disclosed in writing the amount of soil that had been removed from the pastures. He made a passing comment saying, “a neighbor had removed the amount of a garden bed.” He assured me that the person clearing the property left a few inches that could support the growing or grass. It turns out all the field

Craig did a great job with our home sale and was kept things moving in an efficient and timely manner.

We were referred to Craig for his knowledge of the Petoskey area. Craig provided valuable guidance and recommendations making the process of finding and purchasing a beautiful property in Petoskey an absolute pleasure. Craig truly listened to our needs and wants for our new property and provided options so we could very efficiently find our perfect property. We highly recommend Craig and his team.

Craig is an honorable man and willing to help with whatever he can. He knows the market and the area and has resources and contacts with other professionals in the area to make recommendations for all things “home buying” related. Our experience was great. Thanks, Craig!
