Craig has been a long time Chico local. After graduating from CSU, Chico, he has been involved with the local real estate scene, as a General Contractor, since 2002. With a knack for attention to detail and craft, Craig has helped dozens of families fulfill their renovation dreams!
His construction back ground gives him a deep understanding of how homes are built and this translates well with both real estate agents and most importantly buyers seeking advise on what mortgage loan products would best suite them.
If Craig is not helping families get into homes, you can find him adventuring in his Land Rover, fly fishing the local rivers and streams, or cooking something scrumptious for friends! Craig is married to his lovely wife, Lisa Almaguer, and he has two beautiful daughters, Mira and Camille.
