I can’t speak highly enough of both Travis and Dave Johnson with Dave’s Alaska Homes. Our family recently moved to Alaska and we decided to use Travis and Dave as our realtors for purchasing our first home. We had to view all of the homes we were interested in virtually and Travis was very patient with us to ensure we saw everything in each home. He listened to all of our wants and needs and we truly felt that he had our best interest in mind when he attended the showings. We can’t thank him enough for the time and effort he put into showing us multiple homes until we found the one that suited all of our needs. Travis and Dave were absolutely wonderful to work with and their communication was phenomenal throughout the entire process. Both of them went above and beyond to make sure we closed on time and they were very thorough in explaining the home buying process to us. Buying a home can be very stressful and the process was seamless with them which helped relieve a lot of the stress that came with a move across the continent. They were a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend them. I can’t thank them enough, we are thrilled with the purchase of our first home!

Dave is great. He's personable, keeps in touch, almost always answers his phone. Sold my home with him last fall and have no regrets with my choice. Would highly recommend.

“Dave stick with us for two years after we initially thought about selling our home. We had to put it off until this year but he would check in periodically to see how we were doing. It was nice to develop a relationship with he and his son Travis so it was like a good friend was selling our home instead of a stranger just looking at the bottom line. We had multiple offers on our home as expected and Dave helped us make a good business based decision vs. an emotional one, which is a tough situation to be in for sure. Everything went smoothly and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Dave and plus, he gives you wonderful homemade jam!!”

“Dave and Travis were great when we bought our house and then sold our house in Alaska when we had to move for family they really worked hard for us to get everything taken care of in a fast manner.”

“If you are looking for a realtor in Alaska you can go ahead and end your search now! I honestly cannot possibly recommend Dave and Travis Johnson enough. They are two of the most friendly, knowledgably and professional people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. They helped us buy a home in their neighborhood from 4000 miles away and did it as if we were right there touring the homes with them. Any time I needed them they were quick to reply and get the answers or resolutions I needed. Dave even helped me find a local realtor to sell the house I was moving from! Finally even well after the sale Dave consistently checks in to make everything is going well in our new home. I feel like we made a new friend in addition to finding an incredible realtor. Seriously whether your buying or selling your home in Alaska you owe it to yourself to give Dave and Travis a call, trust me you won’t regret it!”

“Dave Johnson helped us buy and sell our home in Alaska. This was the first time we had bought a home in over 30 years. Dave was very energetic from the start. He constantly sent us homes for sale in our email. When we wanted to look at one he arranged to show it to us immediately. When we found one that we liked he handled all of the paperwork and took care of all of the legal matters for us, which really made us feel comfortable while we were doing something that we knew nothing about. Unfortunately, several years later, we had to sell our home in Alaska and move back to the lower 48. When we wanted to sell this house we contacted him and he got right to work on it immediately. During the buying and selling of this home Dave was very knowledgeable of any recent changes in the laws. He was knowledgeable of the housing market as well. He is a very kind, personable, knowledgeable, and energetic agent that became a good friend of ours. Even though we knew nothing of buying and selling homes Dave made us feel comfortable during the whole process. I would definitely use him again and also recommend him to others.”

“This is my second time working with Dave Johnson. The first was as a seller when we sold a house. The second was as a buyer purchasing land. Both times Dave, Travis, and Noelle were a great team. They communicated clearly and quickly. Dave’s study of the market really pays off and he knows what are good prices to ask or offer. The whole team was patient, friendly, and super knowledgeable.”

Dave helped list and sell my dad’s home for me and made the process so smooth. He knows and studies the market so was able to come up with a perfect price. Having an experienced realtor helped in so many ways. He knew contractors to hire to help with a couple items on our fix-it list and was able to keep the whole process keep the whole process moving forward. Would definitely use him again!

"David did an outstanding job from start to finish. He made sure he communicated often and there were no questions left unanswered. He was spot on in his market analysis and in setting the sale price of our home. A great experience. "

Dave was a blessing to us while selling our home and made a stressful venture go smooth. Within a couple of days of first speaking with Dave about selling our house, it was on the market and we had an accepted offer. Very proficient at what he does and very easy to work with and helped us understand the process which can be very intimidating. If you need an agent, call Dave.”

Dave went above and beyond my expectations. He prepped me for the sale process and guided me through all steps necessary to sell my home and purchase my new home. Highly responsive and professional. Had an efficient & successful sale thanks to Dave!”

“To all people looking for a real estate agent that has your best interest at heart, this letter is for you. Being new to the real estate market, we had no clue as to where to begin our search for a place that we could call home. Dave helped us through the process and explained the procedure in ways that we understood. Then the search began. We wanted a home. We didn’t just want a house. We wanted someplace that we could start making family memories. We had a unique situation that would have made most agents pass us on to someone else. We needed more living space than most and we wanted a place that we could add our own touches too and make it ours. We didn’t want to have to spend a lot of money just to live in a place but we wanted to personalize it. We wanted a place that already had memories built into it. Dave had just the place in mind! He answered any and all questions we had and if he didn’t have the answers right then, he called back within 15 minutes with those answers. He went”

“We bought our first home last year, and Dave Johnson was such an incredible person to work with. He was always professional and on-time, and helped us so much through the ups-and-downs of buying a foreclosure. We couldn’t be happier with our new home, and are grateful every day that we found him when we did. He has a high level of honesty and integrity, and we recommend him for everyone looking to buy a new home or property. Thank you, Dave! “

“I moved from Idaho to Palmer in 2009. I was kind of flying blind moving to the frozen tundra and Dave was exceptional in finding me a home and went above and beyond to meet my needs; which weren’t always his responsibility. Mid 2013 my job opportunity in Washington state required another move and I didn’t hesitate to contact Dave for the selling of my property in AK. He once again went above and beyond his area of responsibility. Overall, a great agent and a great person!”

“Dave helped my Wife and I find our first home. He proved to be an outstanding real estate agent! He worked very hard to show us homes on the market that were the type we were looking for. He kept up on the new homes that were coming on the market and when a sweet deal came up he called us immediately. Dave is a very professional person to work with, and he is very friendly and positive as well. I would highly recommend working with Dave and plan to do so again in the future. Thanks Dave!!!”

“Just wanted to say thanks to Dave for helping us find and purchase our investment property in Palmer. Dave was great about showing us properties and even gave us a good lead for a tenant for the property. We appreciate it and hope to use him again in the future.”

“Dave Johnson is just awesome! He followed up on every lead on the home I was selling in Anchorage. I think it sold rather quickly considering it only had a one car garage. I want to thank you so very much for all of your help when it came to buying our home. You went to so much trouble answering all of my questions, most of them repeatedly, and making sure I really understood the process. Also, selling my home I know that my situation with the home fixes was as frustrating to you as it was to me, but you were calm and helpful. I really, truly appreciate all of your help. I will definitely tell my friends to go to you for home buying and selling. We just love our home to and you knew exactly what we were looking for to!! “

“Dave sold my house in Wasilla. As issues came up during the process of selling such as well flow and testing, Dave contacted the appropriate professionals to resolve problems. He kept me informed of progress during the closing. He was innovative in using software technology for signing of paperwork over the internet. After having tried using FSBO and becoming highly stressed it was a godsend to have Dave take charge and get the sale done. Dave worked tirelessly in meeting my requirements to sell the house “as is”. I would definitely use Dave for any future real estate transactions.”

“We had a house to sell in Alaska, although we live in the Washington, DC area. Being greatly concerned about the distance and the inability to be physically involved in the process of selling our property we began searching for just the right Realtor for the job. After calling about half a dozen Realtors, we finally located Dave Johnson of Fishhook Realty, LLC. What a relief. We were instantly impressed with his knowledgeable expertise about the process of listing and selling our home. He was personable, understanding to our concerns and extremely responsive. When he said he was going to something by a certain time/day- he usually had it done ahead of schedule. He sold our home within two weeks, found excellent deals for all of the necessary repairs- and made our part completely painless. Dave Johnson knows customer service and runs his business with a commitment to excellence. If you are in need of an outstanding Realtor to sell your home, Dave is the guy for the job! “

“To Dave Johnson. You are an awesome Realtor and we would recommend your services to anyone! We had our home on the market for over 1.5 years with 2 other companies. My wife and I were introduced to you and after a short discussion we asked you to sell our home for us. Within a couple months our home was sold at a great price. You were always honest, very knowledgeable, hardworking and great at explaining the whole process. Thanks Dave! “

“To Whom It May Concern: It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Dave Johnson in regard to the services he provided as our real estate agent in the sale of my parent’s home. Due to poor health, my parents moved into the Veteran’s Center which necessitated the sale of their home. This situation could have been stressful, given all the circumstances involved. But such was not the case due to Dave’s hard work, diligence and attention to detail. He also kept us informed with timely updates during the sale. He is unfailingly fair and honest. Certainly it is without reservation that I would recommend the services of Dave Johnson for any real estate transaction.”

“In 2009 we decided to sell our older, 1940’s log home. Dave suggested several upgrades to meet codes and make it more appealing. After a year, several upgrades, inspections and 30 to 40 showings, we finally sold. I feel we were very lucky to have Dave Johnson represent us in a slow market with very discriminating buyers. We have a good relationship with the buyers who are also happy with the sale. Thank you Dave.”

“Thank you Dave Johnson at Dave’s Alaska Homes for helping us sell our beautiful house. You fought to close the sale even though we hit a wall with the bad appraisal. You kept going at it like a trooper. It made the difference in making the sale go through. Katie and I appreciate all the work you’ve done. Now relax and read my book, Freeze Flash – Novel (all proceeds go to World Vision International)http://www.freezeflash.net/”

“I had a very satisfying experience working with Dave to sell my home. I had only purchased the home 4 years prior and suddenly decided to move back to Oregon after 26 years in Alaska as my fiancé was experiencing medical complications due to a heart transplant 20 years. This was a pretty fast decision and I had a timing issue as I worked for the school district and wanted to stay in my house until school was out so as to not have to deal with finding a place to stay with 2 dogs. I also wanted to leave Alaska as soon as I could. So what that meant was that I wanted to sell the house and be out pretty much within a certain date range. Ha. I had spoken to two other realtors who both valued my home at ten tobfifteen thousand less then I wanted to list it for. Dave, on the other hand,mwas right around the same amount I was thinking if not a little higher. And guess what? He was right! We listed the house earlier then what I had initially planned which turned out to be great advice..”

“Dave, We want to thank you again for the fast sell of what was our Wasilla home for almost 7 years. Through all the selling process, your knowledge, expertise and professionalism stood high. Your excellent marketing of our property, through the creation of its own web page, filled up with lots of big, easy to see, high quality pictures and unlimited text, which allowed a complete description of the property, which pointed out the many positives of it, was outstanding. All this effort was made just to capture the attention of more than one potential buyer. In less than a week, we certainly got our first viewing followed by others, and soon after we got a full price offer. That was fast! Even though the whole process involved different entities, like the seller, buyer, lender, inspector, appraiser, etc., it took a lot of good coordination to put it all together, to resolve the problems as they came up. Also, excellent negotiating skills were necessary to get to the final product: a pro”

“Dave was awesome to work with. He sold my home in record time and kept me informed throughout the process. If you are buying or selling in the valley or Anchorage area you should go see Dave at Remax Dynamic of the Valley. Thanks Dave!!!”

“Dave was nothing short of a blessing in helping us prepare and finalize the sale of my mom’s house. If there was repairs to be made, and I didn’t have a person lined up, he would make a call and it was already done! I never realized how much goes into selling a house, but I now realize how many little pieces there are to it and Dave put the puzzle together with patience and determination. Our situation was a sensitive one. We were selling my mom’s estate. It was hard to face that. He helped keep me on track gently directing me through every step of the way. I could never have done this without his help and still maintain my sanity! Before I knew it, it was sold and closed and the hardest part of this all was saying goodbye to the home I grew up in. Thank you for everything Dave! We will call you as soon as we are ready for our new home!

“I’ve never sold a house before until today. We have successfully recorded! Our first home now belongs to someone else?. It’s a strange feeling, but the good outweighs the sentimental feelings I have for the place. Everything went as smooth as possible during these uncertain times thanks to my awesome realtor, Dave Johnson. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in AK. He is honest, he has many moons of experience and he knows the market. We will always have a deep love for our first home and I leave behind years of blood sweat and tears, but we are off to grazing in a larger pasture.“

This is my second time using Dave Johnson as a agent. He handles everything with knowledge and ease. I live out of state so it was a huge comfort having Dave there to handle everything. I Highly recommend Dave to anyone who wants a easy buying or selling experience.
