About Craig

About
For the past 17+ years, I have been a full-time Realtor in Northampton with a special niche. I specializes in the sale of houses near rail trails, greenways, parks and other conservation lands. My work in developing rail trails throughout the northeast for the past 25+ years was recognized by National Assoc. of Realtors when they awarded me the Evergreen Award at the national conference. I am the first Realtor in the U.S. with this niche and have been written about in numerous national and regional Realtor trade magazines and national and regional newspapers. I also holds a Certified Residential Specialist Designation (CRS). Only 2% of Realtors in this marketplace area achieve this designation. I am a top-producing Realtor and usually am the top Realtor at the firm. My wife Kathleen and I also operate an award-winning bed & breakfast in Northamptons historic village of Florence.

Susan M. sold a home in Northampton

Weve bought and sold properties before, in both Massachusetts and Maine, and have been impressed with your responsiveness, your attention to detail, your willingness to market our house, and your ability to sell it in a tough market. We have never had such a positive experience with any other realtor!

"I worked with Craig as he helped my mom move to the area from Wisconsin, and as he helped me buy my house in Holyoke and sell my condo in Hatfield. With my mom, he helped her learn about the community, find a service vendor for everything, and even get some jobs started. Hes a complete package: historian, community leader, advocate for so many things I value (community, bike, the arts, neighborhoods, the environment), and hes honest, able to handle the complex emotions that arise around home buying, a complete teddy bear, patient when he needs to be and ferocious when were at the last straw. Hes got terrific taste in properties and I think hes quick to "get what you are looking for. Case in point, both my mother and I bought the first house he showed us! I trust Craig completely and have so enjoyed working with him over these past 5 years. Trust and expertise were so important when selling an unusual and difficult condo in the new and tough condo market.

"A collaborator and consultant to our "Friends of the Canal Walk advocacy group led to hiring Craig to sell my Amherst house last year. He sold it quickly and to qualified buyers who seemed respectful of the architectural features of the home and preserving the traditional neighborhood.

"Craig Della Penna has done an exceptional job for us. We bought our first house through Craig back in 2006, and were very satisfied with his professional approach and knowledge. Needless to say, when we started looking for our next house, Craig was the first person we called. After spending a little time with Craig, you will see he has a wealth of information about real estate in the Pioneer Valley to help you with any questions. And if he doesnt know the answer, he follows up within a day. Matt and Tammi K., Northampton, MA
