true professional in every sense of the word

Craig recently sold our Breakfast Point home in Panama City Beach, FL. He was a true professional in every sense of the word. We originally contacted Craig months before we were ready to start selling our home to get his professional opinion of what we needed to do to get our home listing ready. He provided great insight into what was worth our time and money as well as what wasn't. When it came time to pick a listing agent, we interviewed a few professionals but Craig stood out. He took the time to walk through our entire home again and helped us understand both the physical and intangible aspects that would help us sell our home at the price point he was suggesting. Craig put together a marketing plan including amazing professional pictures and a marketing video. He was always quick to respond to our phone calls and text messages which hasn't always been the case with other agents we have worked with in the past. He also has an amazing group of people working with him, including Jacob, that could answer questions or help with requests when needed.

Craig will always be my recommended realtor

Craig helped us sell our first house and build our second house, all at the same time, and all seamlessly. We had an assumable mortgage on our first home, and no other realtor around here seemed to know all of the ins and outs of how it would exactly work. Because our first house's value was at or below our mortgage balance, we knew that having someone assume our mortgage would be our best, if not only, way to get it sold at a cost to us that we could handle, and make it attractive to a new buyer because of the low interest rate and monthly payment. Craig studied tirelessly to make sure that he understood every detail of the assumable mortgage process, so that he could not only educate us, but other realtors and potential buyers as well. Craig uses all the traditional marketing strategies that are tried and true, but he also utilizes all the new technologies available to him, which sets him head and shoulders above the other realtors that we researched. He was able to get our house sold using the assumable mortgage, and both we and the buyers were extremely happy with the entire transaction.

I would highly recommend Craig

Craig Duran was my realtor for both the selling of my home and the buying of a new build and all the issues that came up during that process. I would highly recommend Craig as he was very knowledgeable and professional but personable, and he went out of his way to be helpful even when at home with the flu and even at one point when he was at home recuperating from surgery. After Hurricane Michael, he offered to go to our home to see if it sustained any damage.
 
Craig was always responsive to phone calls to answer questions and willing to explain everything that was going on. He has a great staff and Jacob was very helpful as well.
 
Again, I would highly recommend Craig and his staff and would work with them again if the need arises.

  • What Jacob's Clients Say

    I decided that I wanted to leave my native state of Missouri and move to Panama City Beach, Florida earlier this year. I knew a local realtor in town and she referred me to Jacob Willenborg. Jacob reached out to me, by phone, so that we could discuss the specifics of the property I was looking for. He sent me emails from different properties almost every day and would check in with me via text or calls frequently since he was aware that I didn...

  • What Craig's Clients Say

    Craig was recommended to us by several neighbors in our beloved community - Palmetto Trace in Panama City Beach, FL. During our initial meeting with Craig, we knew right away we would be in good hands with him, and decided to list our home. Craig and his team flawlessly executed every detail; from professional photography, showings, negotiations, and inspections, all the way through closing. We could not be more pleased with the way everything...

  • What Jacob's Clients Say

    Not only was Jacob a pleasure to work with in finding our new home, but he was also instrumental in negotiating a price that we believe was fair to both parties (I am a huge fan of win-win transactions). But most importantly, as valuable as he was during the selection process, he was amazing after the offer was accepted. Our lender dropped the ball on several occasions, but Jacob was always there to get things back on track. From assuring the ...

  • What Craig's Clients Say

    My real estate agent, Craig Duran, was responsive very quickly to answering ongoing questions by phone calls, texts and even stopping in person at my home to accommodate taking care of questions or paperwork. Really appreciated having someone for a real estate agent that was a very kind person and I also felt I could trust to give me straight, honest, answers. Craig sold one home for us, was our agent for buying the next home, and then sold it...

  • What Craig's Clients Say

    My wife and I met Craig Duran as we sought out a residential broker during the course of our efforts to acquire a condominium in Panama City Beach, Florida. Craig was obviously very knowledgeable of the market and was quite easy and enjoyable to work with in facilitating both the identification and purchase of our unit. Craig also was excellent in both follow-up and follow-through as questions or issues arose. The entire process was incredibly...
    ~ Greg M.

  • What Craig's Clients Say

  • What Craig's Clients Say

    My wife and I decided to purchase a waterfront condo in the Florida panhandle. After careful research, we found Craig Duran who we believed would be the best agent to help us. He was that and more. Craig has a wealth of knowledge. We felt so confident working with him that we ended up buying a 3-bedroom, 3-bath unit sight unseen. The market was hot, and we were willing to pay full price or more, however, he recommended a slightly lower offer p...
    ~ Bill B.

  • What Craig's Clients Say

    We have done four different deals with Craig over the years, three purchases and one sale. He really knows the market and is a savvy and experienced negotiator. He guided us through the process smoothly each time. He has also provided solid service and taken care of many things that would have been difficult for us, as we are not local. For two of the purchases that I did with Craig, I never even set foot in the house before closing. One of ou...
    ~ Steve M.

  • What Craig's Clients Say

    Our time with Craig Duran was too short! He listed, listened, and sold our home/s so promptly. He does not hurry through his meetings with sellers or buyers he spends the time to get to know your wants and needs in real estate. We had researched realtors all through our years in Panama City Beach knowing that someday we would be selling and retiring. I first came upon him and his podcasts during the wonderful 2020 year. I was impressed not onl...

    We recently closed on our Calypso condo which we listed with Craig Duran and his assistant Jacob Willenborg, from the Duran Group Berkshire Hathaway.

We highly recommend the Duran Group and ...

  • What Craig's Clients Say

    We decided to list with Craig after our first conversation with him. From the very beginning of the home-selling process, he walked us through what to expect and advocated for us along the way.

Would re...

  • What Jacob's Clients Say

    From day one through closing, Jacob was the best in the business to work with. He was extremely professional, and hard-working, and provided excellent communication throughout the entire home-buying process. Jacob was constantly looking out for our best interests and ultimately got us into our #1 house (not easy to do in this market). Jacob is currently helping one of our family members find a home and we will continue to recommend him to others!

  • What Jacob's Clients Say

    Jacob was wonderful to work with. He went above and beyond to make things as easy as possible. He even took measurements for me since I was out of state. He was always very responsive to my emails, texts, and calls. He took a genuine interest in showing me only property that checked my boxes and it made it so nice and not exhausting. I'll actually miss talking to Jacob, I consider him a new friend.
    ~ Cheryle

    Craig was excellent! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and on top of the real estate transaction the entire time. He answered texts, phone calls, and emails without delay.

We will always look to him as our first option for a realtor.
    ~ Colee D.

We recommend using Craig Duran!

    Craig and his team were incredible to work with during the sale of our house in PCB.

    My husband and I had the most seamless purchase of a new property in Panama City Beach, FL.
