Bio
Craig founded and opened Urban Works Real Estate in 2002. As Portland embraced the revitalization and redevelopment of it’s central city neighborhoods the need for boutique quality, local, urban property services was apparent. Urban Works’ team approach toward real estate assignments was new and untraditional in Portland. Brokerage assignments were delegated by each brokers specialty, knowledge of a neighborhood, restaurants, retailer types and approached as a group assignment. We pooled our real estate resources and shared it as a team.
All brokers at Urban Works are company employees with health benefits working towards the common goal of what is best for our clients. As a native Portlander raised and schooled in southeast and northeast neighborhoods, Craig has always been an advocate for central city neighborhoods and the critical role they play in making our city interesting and unique. ?Today, Craig manages the brokerage team as a principal broker and oversees the daily operations as of the company with his wife and CFO, Linda Sweitzer.
His continued goal is to enhance urban neighborhoods with authentic, quality tenants that help provide a true sense of place for all of us. Real estate is in a constant state of change and that is what helps makes our city livable and interesting. Creating an equal balance between local and national retailers with the needs of a neighborhood are essential and ultimately sustaining.
