The Wasilla Real Estate News is written by me, Marty Van Diest of RE/MAX of Wasilla, for people interested in purchasing or selling real estate in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. This includes Wasilla, and Palmer, the two largest cities but does not stop there.
Geographically, the Mat-Su Borough runs from North of Talkeetna all the way to Lake Louise, so anything within that area is free game for discussion. The Mat-Su Convention and Visitors Center has a good map of the Borough Most of the real estate action, is in the “core area” around Wasilla and Palmer. Therefore, most of the topics will discuss that area.
I work with my brother Jay Van Diest, also a licensed Realtor, to help people meet their real estate needs in this area. I have been a licensed Realtor in this area since 1991, and I think Jay got his license in 1996. He has been working with me now for more than 10 years.
Jay and I work as a team. Generally he manages the transactions by lining up engineers, title companies, paperwork and closings. I work directly with buyers and sellers. But our roles overlap and you can call either one of us to get answers to your questions.
Rochelle Peterson also helps us by scanning all our files and inputting them to our transaction management system, making brochures, checking on signs, and researching DEC documents.
Speaking of transaction management systems, we use an online system. Any of our clients, cooperating agents, loan officers, and title companies can log on to see their file documents and communicate with us or each other. The url is http://alaska.gurunet.net , you need a login code and password. That will alllow you to see all your files but no one elses. To check it out use “gguest” and “eagle” for a password. Then click on my folders to get just a little glimpse.
