Four Pillars of Criterion Real Estate

Poise:

Being prepared and ready to respond professionally demands a committed persistence to care for the needs of our clients and our colleagues proactively. We desire to treat them, as we would want to be treated. Real estate transactions combine a great deal of challenging personalities working together. Facilitating and managing clear, efficient and timely communication between buyers, sellers, agents, lenders, title officers with grace and clear direction is what sets Criterion apart.

Perseverance:

There is a tenacity and passion that is at the core of what we do at CRE. Perseverance is the ability to overcome obstacles in the face of adversity to achieve and accomplish your stated goals. Our goal isn’t simply to work toward successful transactions but to build long-term relationships with our clients and colleagues. Like any strong relationship there must be a commitment to work through and resolve concerns and conflict and to overcome challenges.

Patience:

A trusted advisor is never trying to “sell” you something for their own benefit but “serve” you through a process for your good. At CRE we desire to put your needs and concerns before our own. That demands of us a patient posture. CRE will not close deals that aren’t in the best interest of our clients period. Whether dealing with a year long short sale or a property search that spans years instead of days we will be there to assist and advise you in the process. Thoroughly answering your questions and concerns so that you are equipped to make the wisest decision possible is achieved through patient care. In our experience the age old saying is true…”Good things come to those who wait.”

Purpose:

At our very core is the stated goal to do all things for the Glory of God. At CRE we do not simply answer to our clients on matters of integrity but we ultimately answer to our Senior Managing Partner. It is through the person and work of Jesus Christ that we are given the guidance, grace and direction to provide the greatest level of care and service to our clients.
