Tammy Craig was a pleasure to work with in selling my mom's house. She remembered working with mom 20 years ago when she helped appraise her home. She was kind and helpful in a stressful time and gave us good advice on how to fix the place up for buyers. Tammy also helped us look for new homes. She carefully listened to our criteria and didn't try to hard sell us on anything we had reservations about. I found her honest and trustworthy and would highly recommend her for buying and selling.

I have used fruit and wine realty twice now. My most recent experience Thomas Craig was my realtor. He is nothing short of amazing! Best experience with a realtor I’ve had. Thomas goes above and beyond to get you in your new home as smoothly as possible. I chose a difficult property to purchase and Thomas was a rockstar helping me through it. I will definitely be using his services again on my next purchase.

My realtor was Laura Black with Fruit & Wine Real Estate, and I could not ask for a better person to help deliver me to my dream home! She was extremely knowledgeable and helped me along each new hurdle, every step of the way. There was never a moment that I felt like she was not looking out for my best interest. I HIGHLY recommend Laura Black and Fruit & Wine Real Estate.
