From Huntsville Alabama To Raleigh North Carolina

I want to give a shout out to one of ActiveRain's most infamous famous outcast in crowd members, Craig Rutman!

From Huntsville Alabama To Raleigh North Carolina

If you find this post interesting and want to read more or search available homes for sale in Huntsville Alabama area follow the link.

I've known Craig since I first joined ActiveRain in 2009 and ever since he's been first...second...or at least 37th in line to offer up help when I or any other member needed it.  I first got to meet Craig in 2011 on a trip out to Pinehurst, NC.  Here's one of Craig's posts that summed up that meeting:  Tom Cruse and George Clooney Sighted in Apex North Carolina

But Seriously folks, I've known Craig to take great care of his clients so when I found out that a young couple that I just helped sell their home here in Huntsville Alabama was relocating to the Raleigh North Carolina area, Craig was a natural for me to refer them to.  Sure there are other ActiveRain Members in the area and hopefully they'll also get a turn at a referral, but I know Craig, met him and tipped a couple of frosty ones with him so he gets the nod this time around.  Thanks Craig for a great job taking care of some very special clients!

So, if you're considering relocating to the Raleigh/Cary/Apex NC area then give Craig Rutman a call or contact me and I'll put you in touch with him.  Of course, if Huntsville or Madison Alabama is where you are headed I'd be glad to show you around and tell you about "The Rocket City". 

 Remember the seller has someone protecting them, why wouldn't you want a great agent protecting your best interests?  It doesn't cost you a dime to use your own buyer agent, but it could cost you $thousands$ if you don't!  And worst of all you will never know it until it's too late!  Give me a call and I'll connect you with a Realtor that I know and trust will do a good job representing your best interests.

Roger-I'm not surprised either, but DON'T tell him I said so!

Craig-Okay already...I stand corrected...it's quite becoming in a Dan Aykroyd kind of way...actually lose the fidora...I think this could be a great new look for you!

Nick when I first looked at the picture I thought you were going to say that was you before the hair turned white, but then I quickly realized the guy in the picture was better looking ......... LOL

OK you can band me from your blog latter :)

ActiveRain can be the beginning of great relationships, and you obviously have established one with Craig.  Time for you to hope on the bike and come see me and Mr. Ed. :)

Nick, there's no question that Craig can stand out from the crowd in so many ways. ActiveRain people are certainly the best for referrals.

You couldn't have picked a better person to represent your clients in the Raleigh area.  Craig Rutman is the go-to guy there.

Yes, Craig is definitely a "Stand Out" here in AR and in the Raleigh/Cary/ Apex NC real estate market! 

George-I'll give you a pass for now...feeling generous.  I'd rather ban you when you least expect it!

Nick - that was scary at first but then I realized it was just Craig--which is still pretty scary. A very nice shout-out about him.

Hi Nick, that's great that you were able to refer business to Craig!  And that you were able to meet him in person a while back.  

All the best.

A great agent that Craig and this is a wonderful testament to his experience and dedication...and no I don't care if this goes to his 'pointy photoshopped little head'!

Nick what a great shout out to an outstanding guy.  Craig is my realtor choice for referrals for his area.  I wouldn't send my clients to anyone else!

Wow, Nick, this goes way back, and still a fun read.

I referred my cousin’s daughter and her husband to Craig to sell their house in Durham recently when they were relocating, and as expected he did a fantastic job. They loved him
