Bio

Alex Craig is a Michigan real estate professional specializing in probate, inherited homes, and aging-parent transitions across Lansing and Downriver. Alex’s background in nursing (University of Michigan–Flint) and hands-on work in bookkeeping and tax preparation gives him a rare mix of compassion and analytical skill. Families trust him to help them navigate the financial, legal, and emotional realities of selling an estate property. Alex is a mix of heart and head.

He created the Estate Compass™ Framework, a practical Michigan-focused Executor OS that helps executors stay organized, document decisions, and coordinate with attorneys. Alex is also the developer of the Estate Companion: Michigan Executor Field Guide, a practical estate-management resource that is white-labeled and used by Michigan probate attorneys to help clients understand and navigate the estate management process.

Alex has completed hundreds of real estate transactions, ranked in the Top 15% of Coldwell Banker agents nationally, and is certified as a Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) through the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

His work has been featured in Inman News, the National Association of REALTORS®, and the Lansing State Journal, and he has built trusted partnerships with Michigan probate attorneys and senior-care professionals. Alex’s approach is rooted in clarity, transparency, and avoiding predatory wholesaling practices — ensuring families keep control of the process from start to finish.
