Law Office of Craig Whitney Hiltz

Craig represented my partner and I during the sale of our first home this summer. We decided to sell the house by owner and we were anxious to perform such a large transaction without the help of a realtor. When we met with Craig we already had a buyer lined up and wanted to discuss our current situation. We also had a list of questions regarding what we needed to do next and what the process looked like as a whole.
Craig was a great listener and was able to clearly explain everything that needed to be done. He was excellent at describing the next immediate step in context of the larger picture and it was clear that he was knowledgeable about the process. He was easy going and was in no way intimidating or belittling. Following our first meeting we decided that we wanted Craig to represent us.
When working with anyone our biggest fear is that they will not be available when you need them. During the entire process Craig was available to answer questions and to get things done. His response time via email or phone/​text was almost immediate. At no time did we feel like we could not reach him. Often, Craig would check in with us to make sure we understood what we needed to get done and to remind us of the next step.
Most importantly we felt as if Craig made our best interest his largest priority. He was key in negotiations with the buyers by offering advice on how to proceed. He was exceptional at putting often emotional decisions into perspective. When reviewing legal documents he was very thorough; he reviewed them with us section by section, and worked to change any wording that was not in our best interest. He worked closely with the sellers attorney when drafting and editing documents. Never did we feel uncomfortable when he contacted the sellers/​attorney on our behalf.
The process of selling a home (especially your first) is nerve wracking, and we were by no means confident that we could do it without the help of a realtor. However, after we decided to work with Craig, that anxiety resolved. His hard work ethic, accountability, responsiveness, and knowledge about the process allowed us to feel much better about the transaction regardless of the outcome. We could not recommend Craig more highly and thank him for all of the help and guidance that he was able to provide. Six stars.
