Craig Real Estate

Craig Real Estate Local real estate agent, I’ve been fortunate to live in one of the MOST beautiful places on Earth with 4 seasons!

Over 45 years of swimming in the lakes, hiking the woods, and raising my family here, I know the area like the back of my hand. As an Associate Broker with Christie's International Real Estate, I proudly serve Traverse City, Michigan—my lifelong hometown—alongside my amazing wife, Jenni Craig. With over 45 years of combined experience in the automotive and real estate industries, inclu

ding more than 20 years in leadership roles within automotive, I’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of clients with exceptional luxury service tailored to every price point. I’m a proud father of seven children, all raised in Traverse City, where they thrived in the area’s outstanding schools and vibrant community. Despite lucrative offers to relocate, I’ve chosen to stay rooted here, drawn by the unmatched abundance of fresh water in Traverse City and surrounding areas like Leelanau, Northport, and Elk Rapids. To me, there’s nothing like the pristine, untouched beauty, clean air, and unique quality of life this region offers—I could never imagine raising my kids anywhere else. My deep connection to this place drives my passion for its people and properties. Guided by high integrity, clarity, and a commitment to showing up and finishing strong, I strive to deliver results that create lifelong relationships, ensuring every client feels valued as their trusted professional. We see our clients benefit from our passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge of Real Estate in our home town. We strive to make the entire process as stress-free as possible. Thank you for taking time to read our bio. -Ryan & Jenni Craig
