I visited www.gasbuddy.com and searched my city for gas prices which directed me to www.arizonagasprices.com which is a pretty good name for a website about Arizona gas prices. While I am driving I have a pad to note different gas stations and what their specials are. I think that gas prices

For as long as I can remember there's been a push to move the seatof government fromJuneau to somewhere near Anchorage. You can almost setyour calendar by it. Every time it happens, people plan for the worst and hope for the best. Property prices predictably start to fall but bounce right

Today I had the pleasure of meeting a really nice couple. They had looked at a house with the listing agent, and when they learned about representation, they decided it was time to get a buyer's agent.
From what they told me, they spent a lot of time reading websites, trying to

Those of you who don't want jokes or funnies, just click the back button. I rarely, if ever post something like this but I've got to admit it was the most hilarious thing anybody has sent me in ages. Thank you to my sweet husband, Christopher, for giving me the best

Juneau is a small town (30,000) built at the edge of the wilderness. The only way to get here is by boat or plane and bad weather can and will change your plans. We are completely surrounded by huge mountains and the ocean. There are more miles of forest trails than

Recently a few licensees in Juneau have taken exception to what they believe are unnecessary repairs called out by our Juneau home inspectors. Specifically, a CO detector in a home with no garage and no carbon based appliance and no parking near the doors was recently mentioned.

Yeah, I know that title is lame. But I got your attention, I hope!
Trying to get a septic system serviced in Juneau has been a frustrating experience for many of us for many years. I could probably rant for a while about it, but let's just say the only company providing

Last Thursday night I had the pleasure of being a guest speaker at the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation First Time Homebuyer's class.
This educational opportunity is offered about once per month here in Juneau. There can be anywhere from 4 - 30 students, and they are all in the process of buying

Over the last few years, I've hired a remarkable young man, Steven Dyer, to help around my yard and home on several occasions. He had my son became friends through the sport of wrestling and I've followed Steven's career for years.
He's pretty busy with school, sports and church activities, but

Recently I read another blog on Active Rain that inspired this post. Scott Daniels in Florida wrote http://activerain.com/blogsview/301871/Sorry-we-re-Realtors . In his blog, he wrote about the "clients" who call REALTORS° thinking it's an easy way to get a free tour of a place they visit.
Being in Juneau, Alaska, I've got an

When I'm not selling real estate or out fishing, you can be sure I'm in the kitchen making something. I love to cook, especially for a crowd. My home was designed around my large kitchen. All my real estate clients know that just before Christmas they will receive a delivery of

In Parts One, Two and Three, I gave the background to this story of exceptional customer service.
There are quite a few dentists in my community, but plenty of business to go around. Somehow I'd found this magical man who was able to work on my teeth. I was no longer afraid

In Part One and Part Two, I set the stage for how I feel my dentist taught me the basics of customer service.
After our long discussion in his regular office, sitting at his desk instead of in the torture chamber, my dentist and I come up with a plan. First order

In Part One, I explained how I ended up learning more about dentists and their relationship with their employees. It was surprising to see how certain dentists had no trouble attracting and retaining the best hygienists and dental assistants. I'd never thought about shopping for a dentist this way.
At first I

I have an exceptional dentist. I don't even like dentists, but I like him. He is kind and gentle and he truly cares. He's also a gardener and people who dig in the dirt are generally just good people. I will even cross the street to say hello to him. Everybody

Recently I read a comment someone else made on a blog that really rubbed me the wrong way. (Usually when that happens, it's time to let it out in my own blog.) Basically a "friend" was expecting this person to list and sell their home for NO commission. After all, they

Our market has changed and some newer agents are having a tough time adjusting. Less than two years ago, we were all scratching for listings and now it seems they are coming in faster than we can build ads and web pages. The number of buyer calls has decreased dramatically over

We enjoy a healthy economy in our little city. Just a little background...
Juneau's population is approximately 30,000 - give or take several hundred. Juneau is right on the ocean. We are surrounded by 3,000 foot mountains so the community is built in little fringes along the coast and into several small

I've had someone asking me questions, by email only, about land in my area. Building lots can be hard to come by and of course there are so many questions... covenants, where are the lot lines, etc.
This person has only dealt with me by email. We've probably had six to ten

For the last several days, I've tried to write this post. I wanted it to be effective, persuasive and perfectly written. I'm still not thinking straight but I've just got to do something.
Earlier this week, a 17 year-old in Juneau committed suicide.
This was the fourth teenage suicide in about a year.

Most people who know me are aware that I'm not available for work this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For those of you who don't, I'm out fishing, but nothing for the freezer or the grill. I'll be giving every fish away.

About a week or so ago, I was in Haines. I heard about a humpback whale mamma and her calf spending a lot of time near the harbor. Oh, how I wish I could have been there for this! Notice the whale watching boat. I hear they never left the dock,

A few weeks ago, I was definitely unsettled. My oldest son graduated from Juneau-Douglas High School and while I was happy for him, I was a little down in the dumps because this was the end of a chapter. I've since tried to embrace that it's the beginning of another, and
