★★★★★
"Craig is a blessing. I would not want to use anyone else. I am not the easiest to deal with and he has weathered my idiot ways with patience and a knowledge of how to work with people and sell real estate that could only come from years of experience. He is irreplaceable." - Lance

" I have been very happy with the services and counsel that Craig has provided. He assisted me in selling my house in Dripping Springs four years ago, which is why I enlisted his help in finding land near to Dripping Springs recently, to prepare for my move back to TX! He is honest, level-headed and knows the Austin market. If I ever need real estate services again, I will most definitely be calling on Craig! " - Teresa H.

"I have known Craig and Kristen Van Engelen for several years, and the sale of our property in Dripping Springs was our first professional interaction with them. We were thrilled with the outcome. Craig and Kristen are a great team and work hard to provide accurate and useful info to sellers. Craig's efforts to market our duplex rental were successfully immediately, and we received an \above asking price\" offer. The transaction went very smoothly despite a few issues on our end with a tenant, but all worked out, and a successful sale occurred. If I ever have another property to sell, I would engage Craig Van Engelen immediately because he is very conscientious, gets things done, is a professional, and a joy to work with. " - Al P.

"We had just sold a home we owned in Austin and had a bad experience with another Realtor with another company. We sold that property to buy some land/acreage to build our forever home. We saw this acreage with Craig's Compass info. I called the number he listed and he showed us Ibarra ranch when it was convenient for us. After we talked and started to get to know each other, it turned out we had much in common, two kids same age, born in the same hospital in Boise Idaho and even had the same Dr., Of course, it was fate. Craig worked so closely with us. You would think after we bought the property he listed, we would be done. But nope! He checked in on us and gave us contact names for wells, septic everything we would need. So of course when we wanted to sell our home to build a home here, we didn't even hesitate to call him to sell our home. Older homes come with older home problems, he never got discouraged and worked us. After Craig sold our home, he still told us he would help us with steps to building our forever home. Always had a smile on his face. I can't leave out his wife Kristin; they are like a power Real-estate couple, she would also call us and keep us informed and let us know the status of the sale. We love these two and recommend them to anyone interested in a property. We will only call them in the future for all our real estate needs." - Evelyn I.

"Craig Van Engelen helped me sell a very challenging residential property much more easily and much more quickly than I could ever hope for. He provided realistic advice about what we should and should not do to prepare the property that saved us money. He carefully kept our options open to selling as residential or commercial. He developed and implemented the marketing plan within 24 hours. His counseling helped us navigate the decision process with multiple offers and resulted in receiving the full asking price. We had a contract within ten days! Craig is now my realtor in the Texas Hill Country!" - Terry C.

"Craig and Kristen Van Engelen are superb! They were able to find the perfect home for us while balancing out of state needs and complicated deadlines. They are always generous, patient and positive with a wonderful sense of humor. It is a pleasure to know them. Their knowledge of the Austin area and the real estate industry are invaluable. We are so grateful to have had them guide us thru this major move." - Debbie H.

"Craig Van Engelen has represented my company in hundreds of residential real estate transactions. These are primarily land purchases and new home sales. He is thorough, insightful, and innovative. His input resulted in award winning home design. He knows the merchandising subtleties to catch the attention of buyers. He is willing to put time in at the model homes to find clients. It is evident he is driven to find ways to close a sale. Clients warm to his confidence, personality, and knowledge. When Craig called to set up a client meeting it almost always resulted in a sale. He functions well in the fast pace and sometimes highly emotional real estate environment. He has a way of keeping those involved level headed. This does not mean he is unaware of the needs of those around him. I am mindful of times he has shouldered the burdens of friends and associates until they were able to get back on their feet. Craig has been able to balance our business together and friendship brilliantly for over 25 years. I wish him well in Austin. What ever Craig does from here, he will do just like he always has. He will do it well." - Grey T.

"It is with honor and excitement that I write to provide this reference of Mr. Craig Van Engelen. Our team at Corridor Title has had the pleasure of working closely with Craig over the last several years. As the Title Agent handling many of Craig's transactions, I have witnessed Craig's interactions with his clients and our team during the process of the deal. He is a professional and proactive participant in the transaction. From my vantage point, it is obvious that Craig truly cares about his clients and provides a great market knowledge that is an incredible value addition. I have also been a beneficiary of Craig's expertise. When my husband and I decided to move our family to Dripping Springs, with my professional position, knew many agents. However, with my personal transaction, I chose Craig to represent us. He went above and beyond the call of duty for our family. My husband and I have difficult work schedules, and Craig was willing to show us properties at separate and multiple times if we requested. Also, at the last minute our lender made adjustments to our loan requirements that we would not have been able to meet. Craig reached out to our lender to negotiate the loan terms on our behalf. Our family would not be in our lovely home if it were not for Craig Van Engelen. We are clients for life! I wholeheartedly believe Compass has found an incredible agent in Craig." - Brandi W.
