Get A Head Start!

The time has come for you to leave your home and move on. Here are few quick things to take care of before you list!

Clear and Caulk Gutters. Pick a dry day to really go through a clean these out.  It is also a great idea to re-caulk the end caps on the gutter  - this takes care of an aging look as well.

Patch Nail Holes and Repair Paint. It needs to be done anyways. Plus you may want to take some things off of the wall to make your home less "you" while people are trying to imagine themselves in it.

Stop Faucet Drips. We tend to get use to the sounds in our house or how to shut things off just right to stop drips. New people will not. Save them the hassle.

Repair Cabinet Scratches. Fill in, and polish real well. You may find they look better and almost new! Bonus!

Repair Dinged Baseboards.  It is so much easier to repair these now, then to wait until they notice and request it. That way if during the painting process you make some mistakes - you have time to fix them!

I hope these help get you started! You may end up avoiding the rush come listing time!

Landscaping Gone Wild!

When it comes to you may want to have landscaping that is beautiful and ornate.  This could still mean different things for different people. Above all of it there are still things to consider!

Trees - when they are planted they are usually small so that you can't predict potential issues. Will it hit power lines? Will it block visibility to your driveway of cars trying to exit?  Is it going to create any issues with root growth.  There is plenty to consider, so try to think through placement.

Shrubs - will they grow tall or wide? Will they hinder any visibility? Do they lose foliage so that it will be bare certain times of year? Will they bud and cause a smell that you enjoy? Again - plenty of things to play attention to!

Flower beds - are they on top or in front of any electrical boxes or water meters? If so make sure they are visible to the eye and you plant items accordingly so that they don't ruin stuff to be able to do their job.

All these things are great - but are they going to be as amazing in a couple years?

Thinking of buying a property or starting a business, why not have them both? This Eagle River property offers much much more!

Summertime - Go Enjoy!

The benefits of summer are huge for realtors who are tying to sell a house that is on the market!  With all the amazing things that summer in Alaska has to offer, there is no reason that you shouldn't take advantage of it! In turn this allows for you realtor to provide amazing access to your house for people who are interested in seeing it!

We try to make open house times available for those who only have weekend availablility - as that is a large percentage of home buyers.  Having a large time slot available to show homes in their entirety is crucial. People like to walk around and they like to take their time. Creating a vision of them living in the home helps a person realize if this is the one.

You can make your house open for viewing by taking the family to one of the amazing activities Alaska has to offer!  How about Eklutna Lake for some kayaking? Flattop for some hiking? Alyeska for sites and pampering? There is always the Downtown Anchorage Market on the weekend!  Take a trip on the train! The possibilities are endless and you can benefit your realtor by checking them out!.

Home DIY Projects

Pinterest is our favorite place to go when people need cheap ideas to help get their home ready for selling.  These ideas can come in handy when the walls are too empty, places are too cluttered, or a room needs a new purpose.  Here are a couple cute ideas we found that seem pretty easy to do!


This one actually came from buzzfeed.com and gives you that studious look of books – without having the weight on your shelves. You can get a couple books at a thrift store or from your basement to make this look work!

Neighborhood demographics changed and you need to seek an more modern look with a rustic trend? Go for a wine rack to fit the bill – but not just any wine rack. Use the busted rake that is in your garage.


Too many wires making your small bathroom look even smaller? Can’t put them in the ender sink storage because it is full? This is a cheap way to cure what pains you. Dollar store rack to the rescue!
