We aim to over deliver in all of our transactions! We have a can-do attitude towards listing homes, and work to make sure we get the most for our clients in every situation. Sometimes, this means we have to get creative and be more hands on. 

We recently sold a single family, ranch-style home on the East side of Anchorage. The large family that was living there had outgrown the house, and we successfully helped them find and close on a larger home that better suited their needs.

When I say the house was too small for them, I mean it was WAY too small. They had a large family of girls living in a small three bedroom, one bathroom house. I grew up with four sisters, so I knew exactly what the father of this…

As many of you may have heard, the current market is going crazy! Homes are being sold for more than their asking price, at faster rates, and at higher volumes than ever before.

This has been an incredible year for Precision Home Group!! 

As you may know, Precision Home Group launched its own brokerage late last year, right before building out the newest office. This means we are an independent, locally owned, Anchorage based real estate brokerage!

By launching the new brokerage, my business partner and I merged Alaska Management Group (AMG), formerly known as Bonanza Realty, and our company Precision Home Group. 

AMG manages about 2,500 homes and condos through their home owners association (HOA) and condo owners association (COA) management company, and is still expanding! Our new brokerage that owns both of these companies is called Precision Real Estate.

Refer to the diagram below for a breakdown of the…
