Rich Harter went out of his way to help get some home repair items cleared up since we were caught up with a family loss and out of the area, to the point he did some of the work himself even--no bill ever submitted. His dedication and follow through were first rate on the sale of our home. I think one would be hard pressed to find a more genuine realtor to work with.

Words can not described the amount of work and caring that Rich brings to the table. He won't feed you a bunch of B.S straightforward and to the point not blunt just honest. When I sell my house it will be with Rich Harter and he will be the one to help find my next home or building lot. You would be a fool not to go with Rich.
Rich Harter is the best Real Estate agent in North Pole or even Fairbanks for that matter, I reviewed 4 other Brokerages before listing with Alaska Life Realty and Mr. Harter and it was the best decision I made. I cannot thank him enough for all he did and the professionalism is always there. Rich might not always tell you what you want to hear but he tells you what you need to know. He is very upfront and never disappoints.

My experience with the said individual, was very good. He was very knowledgeable about the local real estate market as well as the market outside of the North Pole area. Rich is a very personable individual. He was always willing to answer my questions as well as my inquiries about various pieces of property. He was very honest and straightforward with his answers and personal thoughts about the many different homes and properties that I was interested in. He never tried to push me into any purchase just to make a buck. He was also very adamant about providing the best service possible for the 2 years that he worked with me while looking for a home to purchase. As a first time buyer in the market at the time, I was very impressed with Rich’s professionalism and integrity throughout the whole process from start to finish. I would recommend his services to anyone who is ultimately looking to sell or purchase a home.
My home in Fairbanks required extensive renovation and repair in preparation for sale. Utilizing a rich network of service providers and tradesmen, and a personal depth of experience and knowledge of the process, Rich quickly and effectively moved my house through what I had expected to be a long and arduous process. Rich then worked tirelessly to market my property, quickly found a suitable buyer, and brought the sale to a timely close. From renovation and repair to close, Rich consistently demonstrated a powerful work ethic, personal integrity, and follow through. I found him the consummate professional. My experience was extremely positive and I remain very pleased with the results. I would utilize Rich Harter's services again in a minute.
We had the privilege and opportunity to work with Rich Harter. Rich defines what and how an experienced, professional, knowledgeable, and caring realtor supports clients. His keen insight and drive led to us finding the perfect home for us. He was prompt, fair, straightforward, and insightful to our requests and desires for the entire home purchase process. He coordinated with everyone, from our Mortgage Company, seller, Title Company, etc., and always kept us informed on any success or bumps in the road. He has a great network of resources to support a homeowner's request from inspectors to electricians. Rich is the entire package any buyer could expect of a realtor. We look forward to our continued contacts with Rich and will seek him out for our future endeavors.
Rich was one of two realtors recommended on Dave Ramsey's ELP. It is true when Dave Ramsey says he only recommends top notch, professional agents. Rich called me back promptly after I sent out my initial email. On his first visit, he was professional, cordial, and highly knowledgeable on real estate. The day we listed our home was an exciting day and truly an example of his exceptional hard work and ability as a top-notch realtor. We had an offer within 5 hours. Needless to say, we sold our home. Then, after 6 months, Rich helped us purchase the home of our dreams. Rich possesses the integrity, experience, knowledge, and work ethics of a top realtor.
Rich was an absolutely incredible buyer's agent. His straightforward honesty and immediate responsiveness took an incredible load off my shoulders. He really cared about getting us into a home that we liked, and I felt that was his first and foremost concern. He confidently stood up to the sellers agent on the day of closing when there was a surprise attempt at more money and went out of his way to make sure I was not ripped off. He even managed to resolve it before I had even had time to become involved after getting the call at work - so fast my blood pressure never had a chance to rise. He never rushed a walkthrough, he always showed up early, he met my inspector and the appraiser both and performed the walkthroughs with both. He helped me notice what the inspectors missed (did a pretty good job of it too)- I heeded his advice whenever possible and never once regretted it. Again, I think that he didn't care about making money, he cared about making us happy. We dragged him to a lot

Rich Harter is no doubt the best Broker/Realtor in the business! After having our home previous listed with another brokerage for over 7 months we took it off the market. Relisted it with Alaska Life Realty and we accepted an offer with-in 9 days of being relisted. Rich Harter was amazing and we couldn't be more happier then we are now.
There are not words enough to say how much respect I Have for Alaska Life Realty and their Realtors. After numerous bad dealing's with other so called professionals I found Alaska Life through a mutual friend. Their dedication and service was over the top and exceeded my expectations 10 fold. Not only would I use them again, but have I recommended them already to 3 other friends of mine. Keep up the outstanding job Guys. They get a 5 star rating from me in every aspect.
Rich Harter is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to North Pole. No one better to handle our Sale and our new purchase. We bought and sold with Rich and so has our many friends. Super smooth dealings, great communication and over all great person. He doesn't tolerate any nonsense and if he thinks a home isn't a good fit for us then he expressed that, He's not just out there to sell a home and make a quick buck. We appreciate everything he has done. Highly recommend.
