About Craig Ackerman

500+ Successful Sales (27 years experience) Specialties Buyer's agent Listing agent Relocation Consulting For nearly 20 years, Craig Ackerman has been adding value to his clients' home sales. He likes to present options for broadening a property's appeal through quick, strategic cosmetic resurfacing. Most clients follow his plan, allowing him to deliver the highest possible selling price. He often sets new price records in a neighborhood. "But I don't specialize in any particular district," he points out. "My best practices apply everywhere, and I consistently sell homes with more offers and for more money throughout the Bay Area." A lifetime in home transformation and real estate He started as a kid in the family business, working alongside his brother and father as they painted, replaced faucets, installed countertops, and cleaned up landscaping -- prepping New Jersey homes to rent or sell. Craig developed a keen sense for where to spend to attract buyers and how to negotiate so everyone wins. Since then, he has earned a contractor's license; has bought, refurbished, and sold his own homes; and has guided the refresh of hundreds of San Francisco and Bay Area client properties. To his great satisfaction, he's helped homeowners, investment property owners, and developers, generating millions in additional profits for them. His accomplishments include: 500+ Bay Area real estate transactions completed Top Agent Network, verified member since 2012 Five Star Agent Award for customer service, last seven years Former licensed contractor Author, "Selling Grandma's House"Certified New Home Specialist Residential Construction Certified International sensibility After college and before Craig landed in California, he spent 10 years in Asia, managing sales of commercial flooring to Fortune 500 companies for Milliken. He often grabbed a hard hat and met with the designer and architect in a half-built high rise before the window glass was even installed. Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, China. Craig enjoyed working with people across borders and absorbing cultural nuances. He also acquired sophisticated marketing, team management, and interior design skills that have served him and his clients all through his professional life. On the personal side Above all, Craig is a family man and loves spending time with his wife and young son, from hanging out at home to travel and Little League games.

Very professional. He guided my family and I through this process in which we didn't understand. He was always willing to answer our questions promptly.

My husband and I have been very particular about what were looking for during our search for the right home for our family. We were looking for an agent who would really listen to us, understand our needs, be very responsive, and also let us go at our own pace. With Craig, we got more than that - he was able to offer sound and objective advice, and introduce us to some of his many contacts in construction. We have known Craig for over two years and we trust him. Hes a veteran and sincerely cares about the results his clients receive from his services.

I cannot thank Craig enough for guiding me through the sale of my home. I was pessimistic about how the sale would go given recent market conditions and was also a bit skeptical about how much of a difference any upgrades to the home would make. I decided to trust Craig?s judgement based on his extensive experience and he blew my mind with the results. First of all, the home was beautifully prepared and staged. The website built for the home was very professional. Craig is meticulous in his work and generated a ton of attention with great marketing and nailing the listing price. In the end, the home received 30 offers and topped out at over $400k over asking price! It was a tough process putting so much trust into a person to help me through this but I?m glad that I chose Craig. I definitely recommend him to anyone selling their home!

Craig Ackerman and the Proof Real Estate team supported us in selling our late relatives home. Applying a great deal of consideration and dexterity regarding our sale, the home was cleared out and sold 3 days before Christmas for nearly double the asking price. They are precise with timing and operate with a deep level of market knowledge. The listing yielded almost 15 offers. Craig?s team treated us like family (important for us in this market). The personal touch, calls and notes, really set this team apart from the rest. As we all know, unforeseen challenges arise when selling. They didn?t miss a beat with their problem solving skills, in our case, sticking to a tight timeline. Go with quality from start-to-finish and list with Craig Ackerman of Proof Real Estate.

I really appreciate Proof Real Estate and the support I received in selling my home. They efficiently and effectively resurfaced the home and prepared it for the market. We received 31 offers in a down market, the offer accepted was $416,000k over asking price, and contingent free. Craig and his team took care of everything, I couldnt recommend them enough.
