Craig Needles – Realtor Associate
Craig is an eleventh-generation Cape May Resident. His family heritage is very easy to trace as a Mayflower Descendant in Cape May County. He was born in Baltimore, MD and always summered in Cape May, New Jersey, where his family owned and operated the Lafayette Hotel on Beach Drive from 1923 to 1976. “Service with a Smile” comes easily to Craig, since he was raised in a hospitality hotel environment. With the intention to study international law, he received his Bachelor’s Degree in East Asian Studies from Goddard College in 1978, then studied and lived in Southeast Asia during 1979 and 1980. After college he opened and operated Peaches Restaurant in Cape May for twenty years, from 1983 to 2003.
Craig brings his hospitality background and skills—both with people and business—into focus with his real estate career. The transition from hospitality to real estate was very natural for someone so familiar with the area, the people, and the beautiful environment. His real estate career began in 2001, and from 2003-2007 he received Silver and Bronze Awards from the NJ Circle of Excellence for achievement in sales. In 2004 he received GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute) certification, and in 2008 he furthered his real estate education by completing the ABR (Accredited Buyer Representation) certification.
Craig’s interests include tennis, swimming, foreign languages, and travel. He has been fortunate to travel extensively throughout Europe, Asia, Mexico and Central America. He is conversationally fluent in Spanish and enjoys working with the Hispanic community to serve their real estate needs. His integrity, earnest attention to his clients, and excellent skill in negotiation have kept him as a front runner in the real estate Industry. Craig looks forward to serving all of your real estate needs now as a key member of the Bowman Walker Real Estate team.
