Testimonials

My experience with Danielle Chihuly was 100% positive. She represented us as the buyers. She
helped us with our offer and successfully guided us to get our home at the best possible price. Danielle is very approachable, friendly and professional. Her knowledge of the area is
unsurpassed. I highly recommend her.

Ed Gaethle is the best agent on the Kenai Peninsula. He is knowledgeable, friendly, prompt
and just a great guy! He helped us buy our first piece of land here, and when the time
came to sell it, he helped us to get a fair price for it. Then he got us a great deal on
another property. He truly works for his client’s best interests. We would not do anything
with real estate without calling Ed!

We enjoyed working with Jeff Trujillo! He was always available when we had questions, and
very patient. He was incredibly flexible, so we were able to see him on our schedule, and he kept us in the loop at all times. I highly recommend working with him for all your home purchasing needs!

Deb Hunt is the best person to work with. She spent endless hours to get us our dream place. She worked with banks, contractors, records, etc and never gave up on the work that needed to happen to make the sales go through.

Monica Zappa went way out of her way to show us all the properties we wanted until we found the right one. Then she continued with close personnel support thru the closing providing critical details for us being out-of-state-buyers. Her knowledge of Alaskan local information is unlimited and what she can’t answer, she knows who can. She always returns phone calls, emails and offers support before, during, and after the sale. I would recommend her for ANY property within the Kenai Peninsula. She took so much stress out of purchasing our Alaskan dream property.

Could not have been able to get my land without having her on my side. All the effort that
Emmie Showalter put in to help me was a blessing. I would recommend her to anyone that
is looking to buy land.

Our experience with Danielle Chihuly was a 10 plus in every way. She was a true professional in all facets of our property sale and has a very pleasing personality as well. The use of aerial photography of the property together with social media tricks was a game changer, compared to other brokers I have used. Highly recommend!

Celisa Sedivy recently assisted my family in purchasing a cabin and some land in Kasilof. She was highly responsive from the beginning and even came and met my family for a showing in the middle of February on short notice. With Celisa’s help I purchased the property significantly lower than the asking price. She was very helpful and friendly to work with throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend working with Celisa to anyone else purchasing land/property on the Kenai.

Ed Gaethle worked really hard to help me get the house I wanted. Ours was a difficult
purchase. Working with a foreclosure and an auction company based in the lower 48. Ed
negotiated with the sellers and provided some valuable advice as well. Throughout the
entire process understood and respected my interests.

We were out of state buyers and found Debra Hunt very responsive to our questions, given our distance from Alaska. She went above and beyond to identify and recommend local suppliers and local trades for the additional work we wanted to do on our property. She called and/or emailed us regularly to keep us updated on progress. During negotiation she represented our interests as her buyers which was important to us. We would definitely use Debra Hunt again for our real estate needs and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a real estate professional.

Jeff Trujillo went way beyond the call of duty. I send business his way every chance I get. He
made us feel like we were his only client. He was available day and night. Answered questions
honestly and promptly, went to bat for us, made sure the house we purchased was perfect for us. Top notch agent!

Monica Zappa was great to work with. She was friendly, informative and thorough throughout the whole process. It was a pleasant experience working with her and I look forward to using her in the future.

Danielle Chihuly was excellent to work with. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and most of all patient! She went out of her way to show us multiple houses. The whole process was great with her! I have and will be recommending her to everybody.

Ed Gaethle listed the price for more than I would have asked, it sold in 27 days. Great
communication, and knowledge of the local market, would highly recommend Ed. Had a
couple of other agents around here before, he is the most professional.

Monica Zappa is a joy to work with– wonderfully responsive, knowledgeable, personable, and supportive. As a prospective first-time home buyer, I initially felt overwhelmed by the whole process, but her skills transformed my apprehension into excitement and confidence. She was patient and diligent in showing me properties, and if I ever had questions she couldn’t immediately answer, she was quick to follow up. I look forward to working with Monica next time I’m in the market, and would fully recommend you work with her, too!

Debra was extremely knowledgeable about the area. She spent so much time showing us homes before we found “the one”. I couldn’t ask for a better agent!

Emmie Showalter was wonderful with all her knowledge and experience. Our purchase with
our new home went smoothly. Emmie kept us well informed with every detail of our new
home. I would highly recommend Emmie to anyone who is looking to buy their future
home.

Ed Gaethle and I first met by coincident, while He was filling in for a co-worker. After
looking at many homes for my wife and I we focused on a property that was for sale in
Soldotna AK zip. 99669. It was a repo. I placed an offer with the mortgage holder Fanny
Mae. They informed us it was up for auction, I had to fill out paperwork for eligibility. Mr.
Gaethle was very helpful with this. There was some confusion about what my offer was.
Things got resolved. I won the bid and fanny refused, saying it was too low. So, Mr.
Gaethle was back dealing with the mortgage holder. The stack of paperwork was building
up. Right to the last Day Ed stayed on top of the transaction to get my Wife and I into this
house. You see my Wife is visually impaired and the location of this property was the best
available. It took a what I call a negotiating fight to close the deal. Ed came through for
me. I am impressed with Mr. Gaethle’s determination for his Clients to go beyond the usual
bonds of doing business.

Working with Danielle Chihuly was a very smooth experience, and I found her to be prompt,
professional, and personable. She understood our needs and timelines, communicated each step clearly, and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended.
