We first spoke with Craig Kivi regarding selling our house at the end on December 2022. On January 5 he did a walk through with my son to discuss items we were planning to address and other items he felt would be beneficial to optimize the sale price. We live out of state and planned to return at the end of January to get the house ready to sell. Using Craig's advice, we had the furnace serviced and inspected, the house appraised to determine a listing price, and paid for an inspection. We then addressed everything on the inspector's report, including having the gutters cleaned of ice and leaves. Walls were patched and painted. Old carpeting was removed from entire house and replaced. It seemed like a never ending list of little things to do, but we followed his recommendations which al

We could not be more pleased with our experience working with Craig Kivi at Golden Drake Realty. Craig met with my wife and I and helped us set our expectations for our search for a new home. During the search, Craig provided thoughtful guidance and never behaved like a pushy salesman. We never felt rushed, and always felt like we were being take care of and respected. During the purchase, Craig's depth of experience and knowledge of the area and real estate process really shined. Craig will provide information to you in a clear, understandable way and give you all the tools and advice you need to make sound decisions throughout the process. Additionally, Craig cares about people and behaves ethically and responsibly. You will be happy with your decision to move forward with Golden

We had the opportunity to work with Craig at the recommendation of our son and were very pleased. As out of state buyers, Craig made the entire process very smooth, much of it was done on-line with carefully coordinated trips for the inspection and closing process. Perhaps the best attribute that I could recommend to other buyers would be his personal attributes, knowledge of homes, real estate law and the professionalism that Craig extended to our family. When I saw our home for the first time at the inspection, I left knowing we were buying a solid home. Those guys explained and tested all the equipment and answered all my questions and provided a good understanding how everything worked. That in itself meant a lot to me and the rest of the process up to closing was seamless. Kudos to Cr

Craig (and the crew he has assembled around him) recently sold our parents' lake properties in under a month. It was a complicated sale. He provided us with such good advice and a list of professionals he recommended, which we used to get an appraisal upfront. He found us a buyer quickly, and oversaw myriad details well to ensure the sale would go well for our mom. He was highly professional and communicated well throughout the process. We would definitely use Craig's services again.

Would highly recommend Craig and Golden Drake Realty. Craig recently helped me find the home I’ve been looking for. Being a first time homebuyer it was a new and difficult process, Craig always remained patient and professional. His goal was always to help find us the home we were looking for, no matter how long it took. He was there step by step from first showing until closing to help and answer any questions we had. Along with great service and support, Craig also has a deep roots within the community, making him the go-to resource for anything and everything about the area. Pretty much no question about the area he can’t answer. If you are looking to sell or buy, give Craig a call!
