About

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.

Ratings & Reviews

-John & Magdalena King, Client-

“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”

-Larry & Charlene Whiting, Client-

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.”

-Tracy & Jamie Relling, Client-

“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..”

-Zeke Dexter, Client-

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!”

-Wilson Villanueva, Client-

“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/”
