Who We Are

Craig Stanley

Broadwing Advisors was founded in 2013 by Craig Stanley, who’s built his entire career helping clients make strategic real estate decisions that further their goals. Whether he’s working with fast growing, dynamic companies like Exact Sciences or small, family-owned businesses, Craig prioritizes top-level service and offers recommendations that take his clients’ entire business into account.

Craig has the credentials to back up his advice. Prior to founding Broadwing Advisors, he served as Principal and Executive VP of Siegel-Gallagher for over a decade. Before that, he worked for prestigious Chicago firms GVA Williams and Mesirow Financial representing large corporate clients. Craig received his MBA from UW-Madison and a BS in Economics from Allegheny College. Craig also holds his CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) designation.

A Wisconsin native with deep roots in the Milwaukee area, Craig and his wife, Julia, are busy raising their three teenage children in beautiful Madison. In the winter, you might find Craig and his family skiing, while in the summer, you’ll most certainly find them enjoying Wisconsin’s northwoods at the family lake house…while keeping an eye out for broad-winged hawks.
