Craig MacCarthy Reviews

Over the past 40 years we have dealt with many real estate agents, and our happiest experience by far has been with Craig MacCarthy. He is an excellent communicator, and we were able to benefit from his thorough knowledge of the Halifax housing market. He was happy to show us multiple properties in a timely fashion, and to offer us wise advice when necessary, without ever making us feel pressured or rushed in making our decision. He patiently guided us through every step of finding and purchasing our condominium, no easy task when we were conducting the whole transaction online from another province. We have never had the pleasure of dealing with a real estate agent more competent, honest, or hardworking than Craig, and anyone considering buying a home in the Halifax area would be very fortunate to have him as their agent.

We cannot possibly say enough good things about Craig. Craig guided us through both the buying and selling processes. His steady hand and detail-oriented nature was invaluable in helping us navigate the intricacies of both. We were anxious wrecks throughout the whole process, and Craig was able to keep us calm and focused in order to make savvy (and profitable!) decisions. Craig maintains good relationships with the other agents in the HRM. He also has an encyclopedic knowledge of the properties in the HRM as well as the local market trends. This allowed him to advise us in all our decisions. At the same time, Craig took the time to understand our wants and needs so he could be a good advocate for us in our negotiations. Craig was very communicative, and available to us whenever we needed him. We couldn't be happier with our new home and it's thanks in large part to working with Craig.

Craig did such an amazing job finding our new home. Super thorough! Due to COVID, we had to buy virtually and Craig made what could have been a nightmare process, simply a breeze!

Craig helped me successfully navigate through the buying process as a first time home buyer, and he was amazing to work with! He is extremely professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and patient. He always set realistic expectations and gave honest feedback, which I appreciated. It took a number of viewings, and a few offers before I had one accepted. It can be daunting as a buyer in today’s competitive housing market, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Craig and would highly recommend him to those looking for an agent.

Craig was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to learn what we were looking for (and was flexible when this evolved!). He was excited to view properties with us while at the same time being very honest about potential challenges that we may not have thought of or noticed. We purchased during a very challenging time when regulations and lockdowns were changing by the day, and he took it all in stride. He's exactly the kind of agent you want representing you- friendly and upbeat while making sure our interests were taken care of during the sales process. We would highly recommend Craig and would absolutely work with him again in the future.

Craig went above and beyond in helping me buy and sell! His expert advice and professionalism helped me negotiate a great price for my new home, and get well over asking on my previous property. I would highly recommend Craig if you are looking for an honest, reliable, engaged, and knowledgable agent who knows current market trends and can assist in setting the right strategy for any property purchase or sale. I am grateful to have worked with Craig and I will be a repeat real estate client in the future; Craig was simply the best!
