Monique Craft

Growing up in a military family meant moving around a lot, so I know the emotional and physical challenge involved. I have lived in various places throughout the world, such as England and France and I am fluent in French. A lifelong resident of Northern Virginia, I have seen this entire area grow and change tremendously. I have made Springfield my home for over 30 years where my husband Don and I have raised our 2 daughters.
I am a 1972 graduate of West Springfield High School and hold a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Accounting from George Mason University. I have been interested in the real estate market for as long as I can remember. Before I became a realtor, I enjoyed looking at houses, and keeping up with the value of homes. I became licensed in 1990 and quit my “real” job (Accountant) in 1994 to pursue real estate full time.
My clients would all attest to the fact that I am professional, dedicated and hard working. I also care very much about the people with whom I work. I am very committed to making their objectives a priority. I sincerely believe in working hard to make your move easy. I devote myself to serving the needs of my clients before, during and after each transaction. I regularly attend seminars and classes to improve my skills, and my business has grown over the years. My distinctions since 2004 include Northern Virginia Association of Realtors Top Producer (Top 5% Nationwide), and Weichert’s Chairman of the Board Elite Club with over $12 million in sales.
More than 80% of my business is based on referrals & my business depends on this. These referrals include many military transfers. I am grateful to all who have referred me and hope those they have referred have agreed they have received excellent service and attention.
My sales have included listings and purchase transactions all over the Northern Virginia. As my volume has grown, I have assembled a small team, including a transaction coordinator, marketing representative, three buyer representatives, a stager for my listings (Interior Designer mom, Suzanne Collins) and a business manager (my beloved husband, Don!). These members of my team share my commitment to excellence and customer service.
I also care about our Springfield Community, our local schools and giving back to the community. I have been a member of our local school PTA’s for many years, am involved in a group S.O.A.R http://www.soarwestspringfield.com to secure needed renovations for West Springfield HS and am involved in a business/school partnership ~ http://www.fcps.edu/westspringfieldhs/pyramid/partners/pyramid.html. This partnership involves local business people helping our schools monetarily, or through mentoring programs.
