Craig ZiegelREALTOR®, Single Tree TeamThe guy in the driveway
The Single Tree Team has the websites, the search tools and the market reports. Craig is the one in the driveway: at the showing, the inspection, the final walk-through and the closing table.
He holds licenses in both Illinois and Missouri, so he works both sides of the river, from Belleville, O'Fallon and Swansea to St. Louis and St. Louis County. In 2025 RealTrends Verified ranked him the #1 agent in Belleville, Illinois, by sales volume and by number of homes sold: 50 transactions and $8.8 million in sales.
Building a new home with Craig
- The builder's sales agent works for the builder. Craig represents you.
- Compare builders, lots, HOA dues and what is included in the base price.
- Review the builder contract, the upgrades and the timeline before you sign.
- Walk-throughs during the build and before closing.
- Sell your current home and plan both closings together. How that works.
Family first
Craig and Yvonne started a new life together in 2013. Together they have seven children and fifteen grandchildren, plus three fur babies and two bearded dragons. A family that size teaches you a few things that carry straight into this job: listen first, keep your word, and show up when you said you would.
