Craig Heger

“Dear Craig, I am writing to highly recommend your services to others who are in need a real estate professional. I am very grateful for your help and find you personally to be exceptional individual. I do not know why you haven't hit some best professional 40 under 40 list, yet.YOU HUSTLE. In my personal opinion, hustle wins, especially in your business.Over the past couple of years, I have had the great pleasure of working with you on two opportunities . Both turned out great. But the thing that I might highlight, is that someone gave me your name on the first day, so I sent you an email at 730PM saying that I might be interested in renting or selling. We did not even speak, and by midnight you had all of the rental and sales comps to me. Your competitors were days later after even speaking with them . Your hustle didn't stop over the next two opportunities. You called me within an hour when you were sick. You are communicative, I do not believe that you ever communicated in a time more than 24 hours, and your actual response time was 1 hour in most situations.You understand the markets, you understand the contracts, you are flexible and detail oriented, and by the way, you happen to be nice too. In my opinion, real estate is both emotion and money. You have the personality to deliver both goals to any kind of buyer and selle r.I know that you have a very powerful team behind you, however,outside of process ease, it was actually you, not the team that made it happen.”

“Dear Echo Fine Properties team, This is to thank you all for your excellence and professionalism throughout the sale of our house.From magazine quality photographs to the gorgeous brochure, to the attention to detail in presenting our listing, we couldn't be more pleased. Your listings are a cut above the rest, and we believe that translates to better results for your clients.Jeff Lichtenstein assessed our property, negotiated our sale, and advised us on a listing price that was spot on. His experience and feel for the market are a major asset in both selling and buying a home, and we have benefitted from that expertise for several real estate transactions already.Craig Heger was outstanding. He showed our home, and ultimately sold our home, and then facilitated every step of our sale after we went into contract. His dedication and business ethic were so exceptional that our buyer has recommended him to family members for their next purchase. We look forward to working with him in the future again as well.”

After countless realtors causing nothing but problems, you stepped in, and made it so easy to find what we were looking for.You made the whole process very enjoyable as we spent months to find the perfect home. Thank you for always being available to assist with questions and concerns. I can honestly say that I would refer you to anyone looking in the housing market. We are now enjoying our Condo as a family. Thank you for all your help, we will be using you in our future investment endeavors.Thank you!”

“Craig, I want to thank you very much for selling our waterfront lot. I was very impressed with how professional and hardworking you were from the start. You took an unsellable lot that many top brokers in the area could not sell for five years, and you sold it in 4 months. You had a beautiful game plan and kept me educated throughout the process. I have been through many real estate transactions over the years and this deal was by far the easiest one. My husband and I did not have to do a thing. You quarterbacked everything brilliantly. Thank you for all your hard work.”

John and Joyce Anderson

“Craig Heger has been working with our family and business for the last year and together we have successfully closed on 4 properties.We met Craig when he represented a Seller and we were so impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail that we asked him to represent us in an upcoming sale and 2 purchases in Palm Beach Gardens this year.Craig is professional and responsive and has an in depth knowledge of the real estate industry and our local market. Craig displays a high level of integrity and enthusiasm and a keen attention to details.I highly recommend Craig to family and friends and commend his dedication and commitment to customer service.Day or night, Craig is always a text or phone call away and he always responds in a timely manner and more importantly; he follows thru.I highly recommend Craig and the Echo Fine Properties team.”

“We first met Craig in the summer of 2016, when he became our selling agent for our rental property in PGA National (a golf community in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida). Within a few months, Craig had our property under contract, for very close to our asking price, and with a closing date that allowed our tenants to finish out their lease. We knew that we wanted to buy replacement properties, and Craig's ability to understand our needs, and his patience while we looked at many possibilities over the course of a few months was much appreciated. In addition to being able to schedule showings on short notice, he is very knowledgeable about PGA National, so his advice as to which areas would be best for us was invaluable. Although we confined ourselves to properties in PGA National, I have no doubt that he would bring the same expertise to any area in which his client(s) may be interested.In addition to helping us with the sale and purchase, he has also given us service above and beyond that which we would expect of a realtor. (He recently went to our new property to ensure that the electric and water were ready to be turned on, and he has undertaken other tasks for us).For the above reasons, we recommend him highly as being knowledgeable, competent and reliable, and we certainly look forward to working with him in the future.”

“After an extensive search, we chose Jeff Lichtenstein and Echo Fine Properties to sell our home, because we noticed the following things about his realty firm:His firm had a high volume of sales in our neighborhood;His advertising material and photos of homes for sale were very professional;His listings seemed to have a shorter time on the market than other realtors; andWhen we were making a realtor selection, Jeff took time away from an out-of-the-country family vacation to talk with us.We benefited from all of the above and, as a result, achieved a relatively quick and above-market sale price for our home.While our home was on the market, Jeff’s team was very responsive.  Blake and Craig provided much of the day-to-day assistance and worked seamlessly together.  Someone was always available and made time for us when we needed them.   Blake’s being personally there for showings/ inspections and his post-showing communication couldn’t have been more prompt, thorough or valuable.  Craig’s attention to detail and ability to keep documents completion correct and on schedule ensured there were no glitches in the process.Still, Jeff was always available for counsel, guidance and negotiating at critical times.  He made the effort to listen, understand, and be creative in meeting our needs.  His extensive experience and skill in pricing, responding to offers and negotiating were invaluable.Even though our home value was modest by comparison, Jeff and his team gave us the same robust, thorough communication and professional services (photography, advertising copy and marketing brochure) that he gave his multi-million-dollar home sellers.After a sales contract was signed, their very efficient processes ensured no balls were dropped or momentum lost.  Closing was smooth, fast and had no glitches.  Every detail was taken care of.All-in-all, we know we made the right decision to select Echo Fine Properties and Jeff Lichtenstein as our realtor and would do it again in a heartbeat.”

“Craig - I couldnt be any happier with the job you did for us. That includes buying the house in July, and reselling it in November in less than 24 hours at 99% asking.. WOW. You are a breath of fresh air compared to realtors in northern Indiana. I'm talking about the way you handle the problems that arise, and helping with negotiations. Realtors around here would have been calling me and encouraging me to take every offer as we get it, and giving in on every situation. You stand your ground. It's not hard to see why your successful. I tell my own kids, keep making good decisions, work hard and always be honest. That's you. Good job!”

John McGill

“Dear Jeff, Please accept our sincerest apologies for not having written to you much sooner to tell you how extremely pleased we were working with you, Craig and Blake. There is not one thing that we were disappointed or frustrated with at any point during the sale of our house in Grand Cay at the PGA National or the purchase of our new condo at The Landmark. When we decided to sell our house after 20+ years, Craig suggested we hire an inspector to check the house out with which we did. After the minor adjustments were made and the house went on the market, Craig and Blake never once tried to get us to change our adamant instructions that only serious buyers be shown the house and that they be told there was not much leeway in the price, no “lookers” and no open houses. We probably had eight or nine people viewing the house, with four bids, and we took the final one which was an offer we couldn’t refuse. Shortly after we put the house on the market, we began looking at condos at The Landmark. As it was a bittersweet decision leaving our house which we loved, Craig and Blake assured us they would find us a place we would also grow to love …… and they did! We have known you for over 20 years and we were always impressed by your motivation, as well as your strong desire over the years to be the one to sell our house when we were ready. It was this, plus the fact that years ago during one of the worst hurricanes our area had in decades you were thoughtful enough to send us photos while we were traveling of our house and the pool area where the screened enclosure had come down so that we could return home to do repairs (during which time we got hit by the second hurricane!) made us decide that you would be the one we would sign with to sell our house when the time came and we have not regretted it for one minute. Craig and Blake represent you and Echo Fine Properties, personally and professionally, incredibly well. They are both very pleasant and personable, thoughtful and caring, knowledgeable and extremely professional and gave very good advice and guidance. They were reliable, followed up when they said they would and were always accessible. They certainly made both processes of selling our house and buying our condo as easy and painless as possible. There is not one suggestion that we could make to improve your or their methods or styles. Thank you once again for everything you did on our behalf. It was a pleasure doing business with you all. Wishing you continued personal and professional success. Warmest regards, Linda & Mike Moran”

“Craig listed my home in Palm Beach Gardens recently. He sold it in 1 week! Plus he sold it for much more than I anticipated. I have been a realtor in Greenwich, CT for the past 40 years. I know many agents and firms, but had the true privilege of hiring Echo Fine Properties and the top agent. I interviewed 3 firms (including my current firm) and selected Craig over all others. He made a great first impression by being dressed professionally and extremely knowledgeable of market conditions. He was helpful with movers, services of many vendors and always had time for me. He gave me great staging suggestions and made my home look its best. From day 1 until closing, he was there for me. What a wonderful experience. I think I am more critical than most because it is my business and I am a top producer in my market. I learned from Craig's expertise. It was a true pleasure and honor to have Craig represent me. Exceptional! ”

Jan Milligan

“Craig was truly one of the best that we have worked with. In my real life I am the Vice President of Real Estate so it was refreshing to work with a pro. He fully got us, and in a super competitive market he was able to quickly guide us to change our position if we want to win. We won! He will be my guy for many years to come and I would suggest him to anybody.”

Brad Childs

“The prospect of purchasing a second property can be and is a very enormous undertaking. It is particularly taxing when that property is 1500 miles away. Working with Craig and his associates (Phineas Wish has to be recognized here) definitely helped relieve the concerns and stresses; they were my "eyes" in assessing property options, and in many cases, the video/audio previews were incredibly useful in aiding in our understanding of the nuts and bolts of available locations. The channels of communication are crucial and it was so comforting to be heard and to have responses addressed in a timely manner. The whole experience was professionally and courteously executed.”

Donna D'Alleva

“Selling a home is an emotional and stressful experience. Craig Heger removed all the stress when we listed our home with Echo Fine Properties. On a scale of 1-10, Craig gets a 10! He asks sellers all the right questions and is highly transparent. His background in the financial industry is an added benefit. He knows this market inside and out. Craig took the time to thoroughly review the comps in our area before we settled on an asking price. In addition, Craig made some “unique” suggestions when it came to staging our home using our own furniture! Finally, the marketing services the Echo Fine Properties executed were a cut above. They get it! You would be an absolute fool if you did not hire Craig and the Echo Fine Properties team to sell or find you a home”

Pauline and Peter Mayer

“Craig Heger at Echo Fine Properties is a professional real estate agent. He is competent and thorough. Craig listed our home and showed it every time! His financial background is an added plus. Craig showed us comps for our area that helped us price our home accordingly. He is thoughtful and an amazing listener. In general, Echo Fine Properties did an excellent job selling our home during this most challenging market. If you are looking to sell your home, hire Craig!”

Pauline Mayer

“We just want let you know how pleased we are with the way you handled the sale of our Windermere home, and we wanted to thank you for all your efforts to close our sale.  At our very first meeting, you told us what Echo would do to promote our home, and you lived up/exceeded all of our expectations.  You provided important advice about what to do to make our home most attractive to potential buyers, after each viewing, you provided very relevant feedback about the comments of prospective buyers, and you handled all of the negotiations until we reached a final agreement with the buyer.  Given the changing real estate market, we couldn’t be more pleased with the result. Thank you all for making this endeavor as stress-free as possible.”

Nina and Barry Frankel

“We just closed on a property in PGA National. Jeff, Craig and Phin led the process for us. We have sold three properties in the past and never experienced the service that we received with Echo Fine Properties. Simply outstanding experience. I recommend them without reservation.”
