It was a great experience working with Craig. This is our second time going through this process and certainly won’t be the last!
The communication and how the process was very smooth and direct. Everythng Timely.
Very easy process, all done over the computer, except for the final closing.
Craig is part of our "A team" whenever we buy a house or refi. He let's us know when it's a good time to refi, keeps us in the loop as the loan makes it through the process and has helped us get a very good rate.
Craig was extremely helpful and very quick to answer any questions we had during our first home buying experience. Couldn't have asked for more!
We had a great experience with Draper and Kramer, as well as Craig. They were professional and supportive.

Craig and his team are very responsive and helpful. He follows the loan all the way to the closing table and makes sure everything stays on track with great communication. I am 100% pleased with my choice of lender. Thanks, Craig!
Craig walked me through every step of the process and always answered any questions I had promptly and in a respectable manner. It was very reassuring having Craig there every step of the way. Would highly recommend him.
Easiest loan ever! Thank you so much:)
