"My husband and I had an excellent experience working with Kurt Stenehjem on the purchase of our new home. He was thorough, knowledgable, fun and didn’t pressure us into a sale.
"I bought a duplex in Chugiak through Kurt. Through his negotiation
skills and knowledge of construction I moved in with a brand new
furnace and enough saved to remodel two bathrooms. I had worked with a
number of other real estate agents that acted like sales people. Kurt
took me through the whole process like a counselor, consultant and
negotiator. I plan on using him on all of my real estate transactions."
-John Walden, Oil Field Engineer
"We wanted to find a home near our daughter’s two sets of Grandparents.
Kurt worked for several months looking but nothing was showing up. We
came across a home For Sale By Owner. Kurt got us into a contract with
them, watched over the completion of the remodel they were doing, made
sure all the documentation was done properly and even got us in $5,000
below appraisal. It was a very enjoyable stress free experience. We are
recommending him to all of our friends."
-Allen and Zareena Clendaniel, Attorney and Biologist
"I saw a few properties with another agent and felt pressured to buy because he had taken the time to show them…like the stereotypical date who expects you to put out because he bought you dinner. Kurt sent a lot of emails of properties and checked in periodically but was patient and let us take the time to find the right home for us. When we saw a property we liked, he was accessible to see it right away, evenings or daytime, which I came to realize is important in this market. Good properties move really fast and we missed a couple by not calling Kurt right away. When we got to the buying process, Kurt walked us through all the steps of talking to the lender, appraiser, title company, etc. As a first time home buyer, he made the process easy. Kurt also put some helpful clauses into the sales contract that ended up getting us some significant repairs/improvements to the home before moving in. My husband has bought and sold a home before and he was impressed with Kurt’s negotiations. After the sale, Kurt still checked in occasionally to see that everything was working well in the new place. The whole experience was much more pleasant than I anticipated and I was able to move into our new home with excitement. I recommend Kurt without hesitation."
-Lauren Kelsey
"While we were buying a home through Kurt, David’s father passed away in the middle of our trying to get the property inspected and repairs negotiated. We had to go to Seattle for almost two weeks and while we were gone he got the buyer to agree to all the repairs the home inspector suggested plus get the furnace inspected and repaired at their cost. It was great to know that while we were working through David’s loss Kurt was pushing our new home purchase through. We couldn’t be happier."
-David and Carol Dreyer
"I never bought a home before. Kurt guided me through the whole home buying process from finding great financing to putting the deal together and getting it closed. It was very cool moving into my own condo. He made it very easy. All my friends are jealous."
-Desa Congdon, 20 year old nursing student
