However, my experience with Regina Welch , from Dar Walden who listed our home was not a very good one. We had worked with another realtor (different agency) in the recent past who helped sell our business property. That experience was good, but we decided to try someone else as the previous realtor was not available to meet our needs. We interviewed several realtors and we decided on Regina. She seemed professional and seemed like she would be the right person to list our home. She suggested we list our house for $825,000. This is $25,000 below what I really wanted to list for and what other realtors had suggested. However, we reluctantly agreed. She suggested it may bring multiple buyers and that we wouldn't want to miss the great opportunity in the market. Right before we listed, she discussed that she had "someone" interested in touring the home prior to listing. However, my husband and I decided that we would just list the house and accept good offers instead of being boxed in by a buyer. There was immediate interest in the home with several tours. We received an offer from who we later learned may be known to Regina as one of them was a realtor as well. Immediately, we got the sense that my husband and I were on our own as Regina was not working for us. Everything was about the buyers this, the buyers that. Regina could sense my frustrations during one of our conversations as she tried to appease me by saying she was working for us. Yeah right! The buyers repeatedly gave short time frames to reply to counter offers which we always had to push back on. The buyers gave us a low ball offer and later came up with an EXAGGERATED and very EXTENSIVE repair list. We could not agree despite Regina reminding us that we didn't have another offer. It seemed as if she working so hard to keep the deal (for the buyers). At one point, Regina told us that it was the buyers first time buying a home as the reasons they were being so hard-nosed with repair requests, etc. That was not true. We looked up public records and saw that the female buyers owned a house nearby home. Needless to say the first deal fell through. Thank God! Since we didn't fully trust Regina, we decided to order a private appraisal on our own so we would know our bottom line price. Well, that appraiser, unbeknownst to us, contacted Regina, even though they assured us that it will be private. So it was also very suspicious when i received a text from Regina asking if we ordered an appraisal. We then put the house back on the market after we reduce the price slightly so we could sell faster and move out of the State. Guess who came back with an offer? The same couple! This time they were less demanding, but we still didn't trust them. It just seemed like everyone was working together. Fast forward to closing, it was one of the most long and frustrating process we have ever enduranced. We were told that the buyers were strong buyers when we kept asking why the underwriting process was taking so long which had reached almost two weeks past closing date. We believe that the buyers were having issues with their finances or credit history, but Regina reassuring us that was not the case. She acted as if she knew the buyers situation so well. When we were finally able to sign final papers, we noticed that only ONE of the buyers was now listed (the male).The woman buyer was no longer listed. We assumed she was probably the reason we went through such a long and agonizing closing process. But, Regina did not feel the need to tell us about change in the buyers. I would imagine a good realtor would be transparent and inform us of the change. We strongly believe that Regina worked very hard to make sure those particular buyers were the ones that were able to buy the house. I will also add that Regina did the bare minimum. We supplied about 4 of the photos as we knew earlier on that we needed to be proactive. We wish the buyers well in the house, but the process that they all used gatekeep was troublesome. We are just glad to be done. I felt we couldn't tell her much as we didn't want any retaliation. We were pressed for time as we were relocating to another state. It was one of the most stressful house selling process ever! I would not recommend Regina or this agency! I am sure this review may be removed by this agency or they'll come up with some excuses!

Our family is so pleased with our new home in Eagle River, Alaska. My husband and I grew up in this little town but moved away after high school. We are excited to return here again with our children to begin a new adventure in this beautiful house. We were actually living outside of the U.S. in Estonia when we found out we were moving back "home". We weren't even sure if we'd be able to purchase a home without physically being in the country. But Rowena and Erika made it happen for us viewing lots and lots of homes for us. Being in a different time zone was a challenge but Rowena and Erika were always quick to respond to us via email and WhatsApp. It was a pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable and professional team. We are forever grateful to Rowena, Erika and team for helping us purchase the perfect house for our family.

Homes are pending as soon as they hit the market, and its not uncommon to be competing with 'site-unseen' buyers. As a first-time homebuyer, and financially risk averse, my process to buy a home was deliberate - with specific considerations. Carmen McLean at worked with me to see homes as soon as possible (I would never put in an offer 'site-unseen') and listened to what I wanted: no split level, trail access, close to my work + daycare +school parks, a home to care for my parents in (eventually), and possible some short-term rental income. I found that home - with a mother-in-law suite, trail access, parks in the neighborhood, and 5-7 minute drive to work (depending on traffic). Couldn't recommend more highly - she also had good connections with lenders who worked with me on a HUD 184 loan.
