Kraig Wheeler – Owner/Broker
“I can help you.”
Kraig’s desire to help people is what motivated him to pursue his Master in Social Work degree at the University of Georgia in 1987. That same desire to serve others led him into a career in real estate. In 1995, Kraig joined The Condo Store as a sales agent. Since then, he has assisted hundreds of clients with the purchase or sale of their home. In his first year as a Realtor, Kraig placed on the back of his business card the words “I can help you.” to communicate his focus on customer care. Those words continue to resonate with everything he does to this day.
Results Driven
Not one to settle for average results, Kraig set high standards for himself as an agent and now as the owner and managing broker of Budget Brokers USA. He has won numerous accolades for outstanding sales performance and professionalism throughout his career. In 2002, Kraig proudly received the annual David Jost Tuft’s Award for outstanding customer service, attitude, and knowledge of the Atlanta real estate market.
Education and Personal Background
Kraig holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from SUNY at Oswego in New York and moved to Georgia in 1984 to study at UGA. He acknowledges his 8 years working as a social worker/case manager at two Atlanta medical centers honed his skills for listening and understanding people in diverse and challenging situations. After enjoying life in several in-town properties, he now resides in Marietta with his wife Treva, who he met prior to the 1996 Olympics. They now have three children: Caroline, Audrey, and David. Kraig is an avid sports enthusiast (Go Dawgs!) and has been an Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Braves, and Atlanta Thrashers season ticket holder. In October 2010, feeling the need to do more for his local community and state, Kraig joined the Georgia State Defense Force and currently holds the rank of Staff Sergeant/E-6. Kraig and his family are active members of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in East Cobb.
