The Enemy Within - 02/29/08 12:30 PM
Tonight I read a post by our own Jonathan Washburn who shared with us some choice comments he uncovered while browsing user reviews for Redfin.com. The consensus was that we, as Realtors, are antiquated, unresponsive, self-absorbed, greedy, useless holdovers from an era long that has long since seen its prime. Sounds harsh, huh? Jonathan believes that real estate agents have a public opinion problem. I know, I know. That much is obvious, right? JW believes our image problem stems from our inability, or perhaps more aptly, our failure "to communicate our value proposition to the world.” We should be so lucky … (58 comments)

10 days - 1,200 miles - Do you have what it takes? - 02/28/08 06:36 AM
It has been called the Last Great Race. It is long and arduous and is truly unlike any other journey in the world. Imagine, if you can, a two week odyssey through the heart of the frozen Alaskan wilderness. The endurance test of a lifetime will take you 1,200 miles through scantly touched forests, across frozen rivers, including the mighty Yukon, which at points stretches more than two miles from shore to shore and where overflow lies in wait for the unsuspecting, across dizzying mountain peaks that would humble ordinary men, through remote native villages few outsiders have seen to an … (10 comments)

Your real estate resource for Fairbanks and Interior Alasaka
The University of Alaska Fairbanks campus is the flagship of the Univeristy of Alaska Statewide System.

Originally founded with a federal land grant in 1915 (44 years before Alaska Statehood) on what was a federal Agricultural Experiment Station, the University of Alaska, then known as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, was … (7 comments)

Developing the Minds of Future Leaders - Fairbanks Schools - 02/27/08 12:58 AM
Education is that which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding. Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) U.S. journalist and writer. While not a complete antidote, a formal education will prevent us from spend our years stumbling down the path of un-elightened foolishness. The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District is comprised of 34 elementary, middle, junior, senior, career tech and charter schools as well as several alternative learning programs. A staff of 1,908 teachers, counselors, principals and district administration serve a student population of 14,103. Although varying from school to school, the district teacher to studen ratio … (5 comments)

A vital part of any community is its medical and health care care centers. Fairbanks Memorial Hospital is the flagship of medical community in Fairbanks.

Caveat Emptor is alive and well in Minnesota - 02/21/08 01:39 AM
Alright folks... I hope you can bear with me for a few minutes here. Anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that, confidential information aside, I'm all for transparency in a real estate transaction. I don't see any real benefit to deceiving a buyer or seller or withholding pertinent information so as to effect a certain decision. Tonight Dateline ran a story Buyer Beware: Unsold Homes Are Often 'RE-listed'" in which Eden Prairie, Minnesota REMAX agent Joe Niece unbelievably gives us an inside peek into the way he operates his business. According to Niece, who claims in a bold … (8 comments)

It's YOUR time - 02/05/08 07:41 PM
As most probably know, today is Super Tuesday; the day when a bulk of delegates will be awarded to the Presidential hopefuls. I've been listening to the dialogue between the McCain and Romney teams. With Senator Dole coming to McCain's rescue many are beginning to compare McCain's campaign to that of Dole's failed 1996 bid for the White House. McCain, like Dole, proudly and selfishly served the United States as uniformed soldier. They both paid a high price for their service. I can't imagine there are many Americans that wouldn't thank them both for their service and the sacrifices they made. … (6 comments)
