About Craig Dunlap
David Starr Jordan once said: Wisdom is knowing what to do next; skill is knowing how to do it and virtue is doing it.
If you are looking for a Realtor that can get the job done then you have come to the right place. Craig's life is full of remarkable accomplishment. While we can mention the fact that Craig has sold over 2000 homes in Grand Rapids, West Michigan, and the surrounding area.... Craig also knows that the only one that is important to you is your own home.
When you need honesty and integrity with a wealth of experience in a Realtor you can stop your search right here. Craig has served as Chairman of the Professional Standards Committee at the Local Grand Rapids Association of Realtors. That position is the ONLY elected Chairmanship at the local board of Realtors. Being elected is significant because those that voted to elect Craig as chairman are his competitors. When your competitors trust you with handling their most difficult cases and the fate of their Real Estate careers... imagine what his customers must think of him!
Craig has been an airplane pilot since 1975. Learning how to fly and parlaying the life lessons learned in the training have been well documented over the years. In the final days of his initial Private Pilots license training while having difficulty with cross wind landings he learned a phrase that he has never forgotten. Asking his instructor what it was going to take to get the airplane down in a 40 knot crosswind his instructor coined this answer: "Whatever it TAKES!!" If you want to know what Craig and Joe Dunlap are going to do to help you sell or buy your home the answer is "Whatever it TAKES!!" Craig went on to get his commercial and instrument ratings and accumulated over 5000 hours of logged instrument time in his airplane.
