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.

"My wife and I could not have asked for a better realtor in purchasing our first home. Craig is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and responsive. From start to finish, he was fully invested in helping us buy the right house for us. We felt completely supported throughout the process. I'll admit, we weren't the easiest clients to work with. We spent months just viewing houses that "weren't quite right" before we finally decided what it was that we wanted. Despite this, Craig was incredibly gracious. No matter how many houses we viewed and turned down, Craig always scheduled us prime viewings until we finally found the perfect place. I don't think any of our emails, calls, or texts went much longer than a few minutes without a response. I recommend Craig to all of my closest friends. I have no reservations about recommending his services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Valley."

"I worked with Craig Della Penna, this April and May, and I cannot give him enough praise. Not only did he do an incredible job selling my house in a difficult market and town, but he always made me feel supported during the process. I have worked with many real estate agents and agencies during my life, and Craig was definitely the best at communication, honesty, and market analysis. The best part is that Craig is always honest with you, even if it is not something you want to hear. I highly recommend that anyone looking for an agent within a 45 minute radius of Northampton works with Craig (I was 45 minutes from Northampton), whether you are a buyer or seller. You wont find a better Realtor. Kristen W., Northampton, MA

"Craig is fantastic! He recognized that our needs were very specific and he very patiently took us to many houses until we found the right one. He is a delight to work with, never once making us feel pressured. I would very highly recommend him.

"Craig has served as both my seller and buyer agent. As a seller agent, he was helpful in advising me on some minor home improvements that would make my house more salable. As a buyer agent, he has patiently shown me houses over the years, until I found one. After the house inspection, he handled getting contractors to provide repair estimates. This helped free me of tasks for which I had no time and in negotiations with the seller over the price and repairs.

"Craig helped me in each step of buying my house. His knowledge of the buying/selling process made things go very smoothly. His suggestions and referrals were solid, which made the inspection and mortgage application procedures go along without a hitch. I always felt he was on my side.

"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
