About Us

We are lifelong Alaskans that take pride in the homes we bring to our tenants and guests. We live, work and play in the same neighborhoods. We are large enough to be equipped with the resources necessary to respond quickly to maintenance or repair issues and small enough to make localized and personalized decisions. We are not a big corporate conglomerate with owners in other states.

We pride ourselves on our high retention rates and getting to know our tenants and guests. We nurture our properties and are always re-investing in technology and continuous upgrades to continue to attract and retain our customers.

Unlike most property owners and landlords, we recognize that our tenants are 100% the backbone of our business and that you as a customer have many choices of whom you rent with. We know we have to earn your business with our product and response times and will always strive to do so.
