Testimonials

“We were looking for a property when there were very few things coming on the market and when this listing came up Craig was great at getting us in quickly. All aspects of communication went very smoothly and after our offer was accepted, and even after we closed, he continued to be a great resource helping us to find contractors and to get to know the area. We would definitely work with him again but hoping to never sell this home!”

“It is our immense pleasure to recommend Craig Seaman, from Long Lake Real Estate, as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. We were looking for a lake home in Long Lake, New York. Craig had an initial meeting with us and took diligent notes regarding our specific needs in a single family lake home as well as our budgetary limitations. He is highly talented technologically and made excellent use of the relevant search engines and real estate databases to quickly find us a variety of homes for sale that met our needs. He did not waste our time with homes that were out of our price range or not in line with our needs. A master with contract negotiations, Craig came up with a deal that was good for us and made the seller happy as well. He knows the Long Lake area like the back of his hand. There is nothing that escapes Craig’s attention when it comes to property for sale in this area. We found Craig to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were his only customers, although we know that was not the case. He returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. He is also highly personable with an engaging personality. We are pleased to recommend Craig Seaman to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is hands down the best in the business in our opinion and if we ever need to move again he will be our first choice in real estate agents. If you want to discuss our experience in more detail please feel free to contact either one of us at [email protected]. Regards, Walter & Mary”

“Buying a home and working with Craig Seaman at Long Lake Real Estate was a terrific buying experience. Craig's vast knowledge of the area allowed us to find the right home for our family and he helped throughout the entire closing process from start to finish. The staff at Long Lake Real Estate is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Since we purchased the house in 2009 Craig has been the caretaker of our property. Craig has been there for my family on numerous occasions whether its responding to address small issues, keeping the driveway clear for winter oil deliveries, and just providing peace of mind. Craig is someone we can trust with our home and someone I would recommend to help you with your home purchase.”

“My family was so lucky to have found Craig Seaman and Long Lake Real Estate. Coming from New York City, we were a bit jaded about the realty business. Craig restored our faith. He is honest, caring, smart, responsive and has profound integrity. A true Long Laker with deep, long-standing roots in his community, he holds his business to the highest standard. He matched us with our dream home and, for that, we will be forever grateful and indebted. We look forward to knowing and working with Craig for many years to come. There’s nobody better—it’s that simple!”

“After searching the Adirondacks for three years to find the perfect lakefront home, we met Craig Seaman at Long Lake Real Estate, and our search was over.  Craig's knowledge of the market, thoughtful attention to our family needs and dreams, and the expert assistance of his staff made our buying experience a real pleasure. After the sale, ongoing assistance has also been terrific - managing Summer rentals, offering suggestions about repairs and service providers, filling us in about important news and developments in the community. We are thankful for the friendship of Craig and Kim Miller and highly recommend Long Lake Real Estate to anyone considering an Adirondack investment.”

“In 2002 I purchased my home in Long Lake through Long Lake Real Estate. They helped in every aspect of the transaction, from the contract through inspection through to the closing. It was at that time I met Craig Seaman. Over the next twelve years Craig helped us with contractors, simple maintenance tips, and even provided caretaking services for the winter months. He and I often would just sit down to talk about the market, the economy, the weather, and our children’s sports teams. In other words Craig was more than our realtor, he was our friend. He and his team rented our house in summers we were to busy to use it as often as we liked, and he treated it as if he was renting his own home. So when I was relocated and we had to sell our beloved home there was no one else we trusted to represent us. Faced with a very difficult market Craig did all he could to sell our home – advertising in all of the key home brochures, and talking up our house to every person that walked through his door. And we were ultimately successful in our sale, bittersweet though selling was. Long Lake is a wonderful community, close to skiing, golf, hiking, and everything the Adirondacks has to offer. And for us the best way to join the Long Lake community is to work with Craig Seaman and Long Lake Real Estate.”

“My husband and I bought a house in Long Lake and Craig Seaman was our real estate agent. We got quality service from Craig. He was attentive to our needs and really took the time to help us find our home. Craig really knows Long Lake and was able to answer all of our questions as well as make wise recommendations. Craig is honest, very personable and extremely professional. It was a really positive and pleasurable experience working with Craig - and we are just thrilled with our home!”

“We have always been able to count on Long Lake Real Estate when it comes time to vacation in the Adirondacks. We have found them to be prompt, reliable and always friendly to work with. Kimberly especially has taken the time to answer my many questions about rental houses. She is thorough and helpful and really tries to match the houses to our family's needs. I've always appreciated being able to call or email with Long Lake Real Estate in a timely manner. Vacation planning can be time consuming and sometimes stressful but that's never been a problem for us. And of course, once you get to the Adirondacks, Long Lake Real Estate is there to make your stay a great one!”

“This will be our 5th year renting through your agency. I can honestly say we are truly satisfied with your agency and its service. Communication is the key when your renting from many miles away and I have always known where we were in the process. Even when we had some difficulties, your agency was able to make it right for myself, my family and our vacations! We will be up soon to drop the check for our August rental and spend a weekend at Lake Eaton towards the end of June. Thank you Kimberly.”

“Having enjoyed our grandparent’s family camp on Lake Eaton since 1958, Rita and I decided we wished to spend more time at the lake than a shared property could afford. Craig worked patiently with us during our summer vacations for 3 years, helping us to formulate and understand our desires. After having looked at many properties in the Long Lake area, we received a call from our friend Craig on a Friday afternoon in October 2009. The “right” property had come on the market – and Craig knew it. We drove up the very next day and knew within minutes that this was the place for us. Craig is knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly, and easy to work with. Thanks, Craig, for a delightful experience.”

“Hello Kimberly, I just wanted to drop you a line to say what a pleasure it's been working with you and LLRE over the years. We love Long Lake and have been bringing the kids there for years now, and your dedication and excellent service has been a big part of that. Thanks again for making our vacation memories so great! See you in a month,”

“Dear Craig, A high point of owning property in Long Lake has been our association with you. In my career Ive had the pleasure of working with some wonderful, professional people and you are on top of my list of capable people with whom Ive enjoyed interacting over these last eight years. When I think about people that I enjoy dealing with, I think of you. Someone who always does what you say you will do, someone who is competent in your skills, and someone who always deals with decency and honesty. You've saved me an enormous mount of time and aggravation by coordinating a wide range of things we needed done with the cabin, the town and with various contractors. Whatever you've said, I could count on I cannot be more enthusiastic in my praise of you, or my endorsement of Long Lake Real Estate and of your services in Caretaking. Anyone who deals with you gains a first class relationship. Thank you for all your great Support and assistance. Please feel free to use me as a reference if I can ever be of assistance. Sincerely,  ”

“This is our second time working with Craig Seaman at Long Lake Real Estate and both experiences have been enjoyable. Craig helped us buy some land at the northern end of Long Lake and more recently helped us purchase a small, lakeside cottage. Craig is a native Adirondacker so he knows a great deal about the area, which can be very helpful when you are evaluating different properties. In addition, he was friendly, responsive and efficient and both closings went off smoothly. Craig is much more than our real estate agent – he is also a friend. Recently, I was locked out of our new cottage and Craig came to the rescue – leaving his busy office to help me. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Long Lake Real Estate to a friend or anyone looking to buy real estate in the Adirondacks.”

“If you are thinking of buying or selling the Long Lake area, you should definitely contact Craig Seaman at Long Lake Realty. We purchased one of his listings in early 2018 and couldn’t have been happier the level of service we received before, during and after the sale. He is a true professional. He listened carefully to what we were looking for and showed us a nice variety of possibilities in our price range before we ultimately chose the house that was right for us. His knowledge of the lake and surrounding area is extraordinary. It was a pleasure to work with someone who we felt was really trying to help us rather than simply make a sale. Even long after closing, Craig was always happy to help with questions about the house and the local community. We would use his services again without reservation.””

“I appreciate everything that Craig did to help us find our home in the Adirondacks. He is a delight to work with. He is very knowledgeable of the area and its history. He showed great patience when the sellers became difficult and helped coordinate the efforts of the other agents and lawyers to get the sale done. His knowledge of the local businesses provided us with several great leads for people to help with issues during and after the sale. I feel privileged to have worked with Craig because I did not only gain a house, but also a friend in the area.”

“When we decided to relocate our family to Long Lake, we picked up the phone and called Long Lake Real Estate out of the blue. Craig Seaman answered the phone that morning and was there for us and with us every step of the way. He was available by phone, text or email 24/7, and Craig's help and knowledge made buying a home in a new area so much easier. Craig was an advocate for us from the very beginning right through the closing, and beyond, and he put us in touch will all the right people along the way. When we came up to look at properties he took us to every last place that we wanted to see, and even to one that we hadn't considered, because he knew the house and thought it would be a good fit. It turns out, that was the right place for us. We really appreciate all of the hard work that Craig put into our purchase.”

“We are long time Long Lakers and when we decided we wanted to potentially look for a property there was only one person we thought of going to, Craig Seaman! Craig was super focused on our asks and we never felt pressured like sometimes happen when you're looking for real estate. We're BEYOND thrilled with the property we ended up with and know the deal (lots of back and forth with the sellers) would never have happened without Craig having our best interest at heart.”

“We worked with both Craig and Caleb. They were both kind, thorough and professional. They made buying a property in Long Lake a pleasure. We will be back with any future real estate needs.”

“Craig helped us purchase a wonderful vacation home in the Adirondacks. He's incredibly professional, communicates really well, and does it with a personal touch. Since our purchase Craig has continued to respond to our texts with local advice and recommendations. Craig's a stand up guy, and everyone we've met around town says the same thing. Can't recommend him enough!”

“How do you make the stressful and complicated experience of buying a home hundreds of miles away less overwhelming? Deal with a knowledgeable agent who is always there for you. Craig Seaman from Long Lake Real Estate is that guy. With so many parts of the process and many parties involved it is easy to get overwhelmed, but Craig really walked my family through, from start to finish. He has a firm understanding of his real estate territory, all of the right contacts to handle any situation, and always found time to answer my calls. Personalization and follow-up are everything. Thank you, Craig, for simplifying the steps, for your knowledge and insight, and for being there for us whenever we needed you.”

“I would like to start my review of Long Lake Real Estate by talking about Craig Seaman, the owner of Long Lake Real Estate. Craig is the consummate professional, he helped my wife and I for over a year find the right camp for our family. He showed us numerous properties throughout the Long Lake / Raquette lake area and was honest about the pros and cons of each purchase so we could find the right property for our family’s needs. He is extremely hard working and professional and has local knowledge that is second to none. We could not be happier with him or Long Lake Real Estate. Craig made us feel like part of the family through the entire home buying process. We cannot say enough good things about him. If you are looking for a home in the North Country, Craig Seaman and Long Lake Real Estate should be your first choice.”

“My husband and I would definitely recommend Craig Seaman of Long Lake Real Estate. We had been looking for just the right house for our family vacation home and future retirement home. We looked for a few years to find the perfect place. Craig patiently showed us many houses, large and small, fixer uppers and move-in ready, we did not know exactly what we wanted until we found it. We are delighted with our new home, and feel a close connection to the community we fell in Love with years ago.”

“Craig Seaman and Long Lake Real Estate did a wonderful job assisting us in our purchase of a waterfront property on Long Lake, NY. We had a very positive experience as Craig guided us through the process.  Craig represented the seller, but made us feel like he had our interests at the forefront as well.  Craig has the long-time resident's knowledge of the Adirondack Park; he patiently answered all our questions and took the time to explain the history and topography of the parcel we were purchasing.  With his assistance and recommendations, we were able to close on the property within 30 days. We would certainly highly recommend Craig and LLRE, and would return for any future real estate needs.”

“I recently sold my cottage in Long Lake with the help of Craig Seaman at Long Lake Real Estate and I couldn’t be more pleased. What should have been a simple listing turned into a three-and-a-half-year odyssey with disgruntled family members, lawyers, and judges. Craig helped me navigate this difficult time and was always available with professional help, suggestions, and sometimes just an encouraging word. To say that Craig earned his commission on the sale is more than an understatement. I unhesitatingly recommend Long Lake Real Estate. Craig Seaman and his associate Caleb Thompson worked hard to get my place sold, and they have my gratitude.”

“Craig Seaman of Long Lake Real Estate helped my wife and I find and purchase our Adirondack lake house. Craig was a steady hand, offering timely and sound advice at each step in a search that covered multiple years and several Adirondack lakes. The level of attention that was given to our search exceeded all expectations and Craig's local knowledge was invaluable. I recommend that anyone considering the purchase of an Adirondack property should contact Long Lake Real Estate and speak to Craig Seaman first.”

“Craig went above and beyond throughout the entire buying process. He was extremely responsive and made sure that once we were under contract, the process moved expeditiously. Through his extensive network Craig also assisted in finding third party services that specialized in properties in the Adirondacks. Buying property In the Adirondacks has many nuances and requires someone with years of local knowledge to navigate & help the process. Craig possesses these qualities and was also very personable and showed that he cared that my family’s interests were put first to secure our dream lake home. I would highly recommend Craig and Long Lake Real Estate to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Long Lake and Adirondacks Region.”

“Craig and his family are life time residents. He knows the in’s and out’s of the area. Even though communication is not always easy in the Adirondacks, he will respond as soon as he can. If he doesn’t quickly know the answer to a question he will get you an answer soon. If I were to buy or sell again I would search him out.”

“When it came time to sell my parents' home in Newcomb I contacted a few realtors in that area. Craig Seaman responded promptly to my phone message and we set up a time to meet in Newcomb to see the property. Craig was professional, very helpful and I could not be happier with the service he provided. Having never sold a property before, I had many questions and Craig answered them all. He responded to my emails and phone calls in a very timely manner and kept me informed of the process each step of the way. I would highly recommend Craig and LongLake Realty to anyone needing a realtor.”

“Years ago I visited Craig Seaman, owner of Long Lake Real Estate. We discussed what I might be interested in purchasing and if any property of that type came on the market he agreed to inform me. Over the years he called numerous times to update me on available properties. A year ago I purchased " Another Paradise Cove" 1265 Main St. Long Lake, to the credit of Craig's commitment and perseverance to his clientele.”

“We had been looking for just the right house for our family vacation home and future retirement home. We looked for a few years to find the perfect place. Craig patiently showed us many houses, large and small, fixer uppers and move-in ready, we did not know exactly what we wanted until we found it. We are delighted with our new home, and feel a close connection to the community we fell in Love with years ago.”

“We have known Craig Seaman for over 25 years and contacted him about a specific listing he had last summer. Craig guided us from our initial email through to closing and beyond. He not only has years of real estate experience, but is truly one of the most honest and straightforward agents you will find. He never pushes anything, but just provides everything he knows about a property so you can make your own decisions. Craig knows Long Lake like the back of his hand and that makes dealing with him very comforting. Craig Seaman is not only a great real estate agent, but also a great communicator. Almost all of our questions about the property were answered on site and the few things he wasn't sure about were answered asap. He contacted the seller right away to obtain the answers and got back to us immediately. Craig was available for us to call, email or text with any additional questions. He also pointed us in the direction of the main people we needed to continue to maintain the property after our late fall closing. We had all of our utilities in place and were able to relax knowing that our property was secure before the winter set in. If we ever decide to sell, we will definitely contact Craig Seaman as our agent. We would recommend him without hesitation and know that you will not be disappointed with his professionalism and knowledge of Long Lake properties.”

“My family and I have always had a dream of owning a cabin on a lake in the Adirondacks. I was given the name of Craig Seaman from a friend who lives in our area who had used Craig. I had told Craig what we were looking for and our budget. He was always honest and forthright and never tried to sell me more than I could afford. He ended up finding us the perfect cabin on a cove on Long Lake. Craig and Long Lake Real Estate now take care of my cabin. I never worry that the home is being ignored as Craig keeps me informed as to every little issue that needs to be taken care of to avoid bigger problems. When I hired Craig and Long Lake real Estate I not only got a great realtor and real estate agency, I also made a friend that I can count on and trust in the community. I strongly recommend Long Lake Real Estate to anyone looking to purchase property in the Adirondacks. Dennis Kenny, Esq.  ”
