Craig Harris
Licensed Real Estate Salesperson
Born and raised just outside of Manhattan, Craig brings a deep understanding of the NYC market to Compass, combined with a lifelong interest in real estate stemming from his family’s investment in residential properties. With more than a decade of sales experience under his belt, he is deeply familiar with all aspects of the buying and selling process. In the past three years alone, he has earned some of the industry’s top continued education certifications from NYU in real estate development and real estate property management.
A graduate of The Ohio State University, Craig previously worked in client-facing positions for major media outlets like The New York Times and The New Republic, where he helped lead efforts to transition the publication to a digital-first platform. After working for a commercial real estate firm, he decided to follow in his family's footsteps and enter the residential arena.
People are often quick to compliment his easygoing temperament—he never wants his clients to feel pressured to make a decision they’re not ready for. A resident of Manhattan since 2010—he currently lives on the Upper East Side—Craig specializes in both sales and luxury rentals, and prides himself on his ability to listen closely and assess what the best solution is for each individual.
In his free time, he enjoys traveling, trying new restaurants, and relaxing at home with his Husky, Zoe.
