Purchasing Real Estate in Alaska by Robert Swetz

Purchasing Real Estate in Alaska by Robert Swetz

My first visit to Alaska was back in 2001 and I have been living and traveling back and forth to Alaska from the Lower 48 for around 4 years now.
I have traveled all over the USA and other parts of the world and I have yet to find a place as quiet and beautiful as Alaska.

Northern California, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, Utah, Minnesota and other states have come close to the beauty Alaska has to offer but not quite as quiet and or serene. 

I am working purchasing yet my second piece of real estate within the Last Frontier in April 2018.
Sure the winters are long and the temperatures cooler and cold, but I don't have to live and or stay in Alaska during the winters. And many others that are retired and or close to my age don't stay in Alaska during the long winters either.

I figure another 3-4 years working as a glazier in construction and I will hang up my hat, retire and spend 4-5 months in beautiful Alaska on my properties.
I will keep a condo in Las Vegas and continue to sell real estate in Las Vegas and also purchase some property in northern California around Eureka close to the redwood trees.

My wife has connections and family in the Philippines and Myanmar so we may travel and stay there from time to time also.
But as for hiking in pure beauty with very few people to bother me Alaska will be the number one place where I will be hanging my hat.

And for anyone interested in purchasing real estate in Alaska please contact my dear friend Debra Leisek at BAY REALTY in Homer Alaska.
Debra is a broker owner and has been selling real estate all her life in Alaska, and if you are interested in purchasing property in Alaska please tell her Robert Swetz sent you.

Robert Vegas Bob Swetz finds JADE on Beaches in California

Robert Vegas Bob Swetz finds JADE on Beaches in California

Well I would have to say February 3rd 2018 was quite a lucky day for Vegas Bob walking along the beaches.

I left the house at about 7:00am yesterday to beat the traffic and walk the beaches with the tide out in search of Jade.

I started walking and looking as soon as I reached my destination because the tide was slowly coming in. Right away I came across the piece of Jade that's in my hand in the photo at the top of the page.

Followed by the other pieces just above this photo straight above where I had lunch after my find. Most of the jade pieces I found are around the size of a baseball and they are beautiful.

On the way home I came across this beautiful farm property with 1000's of Pacific Coast frontage. I am thinking it might be more property Clint Eastwood owns along with all his other properties in Carmel By The Sea ;o)

Robert Vegas Bob Swetz still searching for Real Estate in Carson City

Vegas Bob continues to search for a real estate investment and retirement property for future enjoyment.

It's hard to believe it's been almost 4 years now that Vegas Bob started searching for that place in Carson City where he can spend some summers after retirement. Time seems to be flying by so fast and Vegas Bob figures possibly this coming late fall early winter he will put in some offers.

Vegas Bob already has a beautiful investment property in Las Vegas and real estate in Alaska so it's time to look at new places.

FSBO vs Realtor - Support Your Local REALTOR

FSBO vs Realtor - Support Your Local REALTOR

Robert Vegas Bob Swetz has come across different websites and networks for For Sale by Owner like Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia just to name a few.

And I have also come across networks and platforms offering home owners to list their homes for $99 dollars and some other low price and might be catching people wanting to sell their homes.

I have had family members and clients asking me what about owner financed or rent to own?

My personal opinion is I wouldn't trust a home owner vs getting a mortgage, there are so many things that could go wrong. And For Sale By Owner, well I am very unsure about this unless you have a attorney present and then things can go wrong.

I say support your local Realtor and no just because I am one, but because when buying a home there are so many factors involved.

There could be liens on the property!

A person could try and sell a home to you that they don't own!

With out the knowledge that a professional Realtor has, I don't think I would ever purchase a home without using one.
