Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?
Dave has been a licensed REALTOR® since 2003!
After my 20+ years in the construction industry, from carpenter to senior management, I changed careers to real estate.
Born in Kalispell, Montana, I grew up throughout the Pacific Northwest. My first experience of Alaska was Ketchikan in 1981 and I fell in Love with SE Alaska. It made such a positive impact on me, I returned to Ketchikan with my bride-to-be, Karen, in 1985. Our family of five moved to the quiet city of Palmer in 1999 and are very happy to call the Mat-Su Valley home.
Over 50% of my business consistently comes as a result of being recommended by a past client or friend! That’s how I like to measure success.

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 t
Dave put the For Sale sign in my front yard and 4 different families visited the home. Two of them placed Bids on the home and they were both higher than the listing price. The home sold to a very Happy Family! Dave’s expertise came into play when a slight stall occurred and the closing took place! I highly recommend Dave Johnson to represent you in the sale or purchase of a home!!!
Dave's expertise and patience guided us through our first commercial property sale. We benefitted from his experience & professionalism. He had our best interest in mind throughout the process. Plus he's a super nice guy! We highly recommend Dave:)
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.
"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, knowledable 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!"
“Selling your home can be an extraordinarily stressful process, but Dave and Travis made it so easy. They were straightforward, honest, kind and provided us all we needed to know about selling our home in this market in 2023. We selected them as our agents when we saw they had sold the home next door in a matter of days a couple of years ago, and we had the same result. I could not recommend them more.”
“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 ho
“Dave did a great job selling our home! He was responsive, helped get multiple offers and helped with an easy closing. Dave and his son, Travis, make a great team.”
“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 is absolutely the best in the business! He was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to make sure the process of selling our house was as stress free as possible. His extensive knowledge, good advice and honesty made the process even better. I would highly recommend Dave to all our friends and family. Thanks Dave!”
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
Dave and Travis did a great job getting us into the home we wanted and needed. They know the area very well and were professional, cordial and honest through our entire process. They have the industry contacts and construction knowledge to make meaningful buyer recommendations! Thanks!
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.
Dave and his son were a great team and it was a pleasure working with them. They were always responsive
through the entire process.”
“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.“
“Dave is the best! I have loved working with him several times. He is always quick to answer phone calls pr messages, works hard on selling the property, super friendly, And just a great guy to work with. We have multiple offers within the first day! Awesome job on Dave’s end! Great guy who really knows his stuff. Always impressed with his hard work. Two thumbs up-no complaints! Always a good experience working with 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!
“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 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!!!”
“Just wanted to post Dave does good work and has been very helpful to myself with multiple purchases and sales. Going the extra mile at times when I needed it. I trust him to be honest with me and give fair unbiased opinions when asked. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a down to earth honest guy and not a fast talking yes man realtor.”
“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”
We have sold a lot of property over the years and Dave Johnson was one of the easiest people to work with. We had what could be called a quirky property to sell…..Dave did the job almost effortlessly and in the middle of an Alaskan winter. We were kept up to date on all the details of the sale as they happened. In short we couldn’t be more pleased and would recommend Dave to anyone interested in selling their property.”
“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..”
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!”
