I have been active in residential property as a buyer and seller here in South East Queensland over the last 20 plus years. My dealings have brought me in contact with many professional property people and some not so professional. I met Craig at a open house many years ago and even though we did not do business early on we developed a relationship that was based on his integrity and professionalism. Whenever I needed advise on the state of the market, property values or the potential of a location, even if Craig had nothing to gain he offered his advice, without hesitation. Even when it came to the selection of, who should we go to to manage our rental property, I was guided by Craig’s recommendation, his advise has served us well. Whist I have have not been a buyer in the last couple of years I will look to Craig for any future sale.

We have known Craig for the past 10-12 years and have always found him polite and not pushy. He has waited all this time for us to be ready to sell just by letting us know that he was still available with cards at Christmas and birthdays. When we finally decided the time was right he was the first person we contacted. He worked diligently on our behalf and within a week we had a sale at the price we were hoping for. We would recommend him to anyone wishing everything to go smoothly for the sale of their home . Denise and Barry Blumke

Graham & I have known Craig Barnes in the area for about 10 years when he first asked to value our property. I told Craig when we were ready I would call him - Just don't pester us. He did not, as that is the type of person he is. When we were ready to sell somehow he just turned up at out door out of the blue. He has gone beyond what was necessary to help sell our house & I would recommend him to anyone as a perfect Gentleman & friend. Thank you Craig for your effort & don't be a stranger.

We met Craig Barnes 8 years ago when he dropped a calendar in our letter box, We told him not to bother us as we were lifers at 28 Coolmunda st Mansfield. The years passed buy and he never bothered us just being satisfied that we knew him. The years passed by and father time caught up with both Carol and myself and our health began to decline to a position where the 14 steps to our two level house became a problem. We had a family meeting the result of which was that we decided to use the equity in our home to down size to a single level home in a less expensive location because we were doing it tough living on the old age pension alone plus the factor of old man arthritis. The very next morning, who should it be knocking on our front door with our complementary calendar in hand - Craig Barnes from Re Max. We grabbed him with much glee saying what perfect timing he possessed, we laid out the facts to him and he was sympathetic and understanding. Our fears were dismissed as Craig took control of the situation and started the process, he explained that it was only time before Mr right would respond to our advertising and purchase our home. He was present on the many occasions of our open house days, he was forever patient and reassuring explaining that there is a Mr Right out there for everyone. Never were we despondent as Craig was at the helm steering us through the process saying on many occasions "It's only time ". Yes today we went unconditional and we could not be happier,Yes we are very happy that a Hall of fame sales person by the name of Craig Barnes came calling out of the blue. God bless Re Max and Craig Barnes in particular. Thank you Craig.

Craig made the buying process easy for my partner and I. He was great to communicate with and continues to touch base with us 12 months after the sale.

My partner and I were finding it tough searching for our first home and dealing with various real estate agents. It was such a relief to meet Craig who made the experience so enjoyable. Craig was always open and transparent with us and we always felt like we were dealing with somebody who had our best interests at heart, not a pushy salesman.

Craig is very knowledgeable about the Brisbane southside area in particular and guided me throughout the marketing and negotiation process. I trusted his input on the negotiation process in particular as I live abroad and did not have to stress or get too involved. Craig was also very responsive to my queries, always provided me with updates and is a skilled negotiator. Craig has been a pleasure to work with and I will be using him again for my future property purchases and sales. I strongly recommend Craig if you are considering to buy or purchase property.

Buying my home through Craig was such a good experience. He was helpful all times and went out of his way to make things easier for me. He explained the process all the way through which helped to put my mind at rest. I couldn’t fault Craig and I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling.

I engaged Craig to sell my parent's house at Mansfield. I had dealt with Craig a few years back in the sale of another property and decided to use him again as I was impressed by his professionalism, friendly personality and also the fact he is not at all pushy like some agents. Craig managed to get a contract in under a week at a great price nowithstanding the recent market downturn. He was also able to devote a lot of time to not only the sale but the whole process right through to settlement as he doesn't take on too many properties at once. He have great practical advice at all times. I can't speak highly enough of Craig and would not hesitate to use him again.

Craig had until August to sell our Property, but had a Contract signed early in June. His Brochure is a Masterpiece. His marketing was exhaustive, forthright and enticing. He displayed profound patience with a fussy eighty-five year old vendor. WITH A HOME TO SELL, CRAIG IS YOUR MAN !

We dealt with Craig when we bought our house several years ago, and we noticed that he played his cards very close to his chest - which was great from the vendor's point of view! So we didn't hesitate to sign him up when it came to selling. He had done his homework and didn't hesitate to tell us that we were undervaluing the property. I had expected it to go for about $570,000, but with Craig's help it went for $630,000. Plus he's easy to get on with, and a calming influence during the sometimes stressful period of house selling. Highly recommended.

We bought our forever home through Craig and the whole process was a breeze, and no stress for us whatsoever! Craig was highly professional and kept us informed at all times. Would definitely recommend Craig to anyone looking at selling or buying.
