Meet Craig Waters - Your Coastal Expert on the Northern Beaches

With over twenty years of experience in the real estate industry, Craig Waters is the agent of choice within the suburb of Sorrento and its surrounds. In fact, his extensive knowledge of Sorrento properties and history is simply unmatched by any active agent in the area today.

On top of this, Craig's strong negotiation and in-depth grasp of the real estate markets are exactly why his dealings with clients exceed their expectations. To stay ahead of his competition, Craig leverages the most up-to-date technology to best showcase each listing. In the past, he has partnered with the Premium Group and Bluejay Media, who are both experienced multimedia professionals opening new exciting avenues to market properties.

Having sold over three-hundred properties in the last decade, Craig's results speak for themselves. As a highly revered agent, he has been most celebrated at REIWA's awards night, having been presented with the annual Master Salesperson award for selling over $42.5 million in real estate. Not to mention, with many sales records broken throughout Sorrento - four of these sales in the past financial year have cleared a $2 million sale price.

As such, referral and repeat business is a natural occurrence for Craig โ€“ with 75% of his business over the past twelve months being either repeat business or a referral. Aided by a highly active database and hugely successful pre-market campaigning, it's no wonder why many of Craig's listings are sold even before hitting the open market.
