Welcome

This website is one piece of a multi-faceted service commitment that combines personal, one-on-one attention with dynamic web and e-mail resources to deliver the most comprehensive and timely service to you.  View our technology page for more details and information about the tools we use to get homes sold!

As your real estate agent, I'll bring my years of experience successfully buying and selling homes in the Kenai & Soldotna area on the Kenai Peninsula. I know the neighborhoods, schools, market conditions, zoning regulations and what it takes to make the deal go through.  We have over 25 years of combined real estate experience on the Kenai Peninsula to better serve you. Take a look at our Success stories page to see what our clients have to say about us.

It takes a full-time commitment - anything less and you'd be short changed. As a full-time agent, I'm able to "work the market" for you, keeping up-to-date with new listings and conditions as they impact the market.

It would be my honor to serve as your real estate agent. Let's get together to talk about your home buying and/or selling plans. Call me at the office (907-262-7102) or on my cell phone (907-252-3678) or send me an e-mail (les@stevencrane.com), we'll set-up a time to meet that is easy and convenient for you.

I look forward to working with you!

The Mortgage Mess
11/3/2007 12:59 PM
Because of politics, and so much money at stake, where does that leave the consumer, or those of us who have been in the business for years and ARE ethical, honest and competent? Politics - money - government control. There is a thought for those who are trying to figure out how to fix this whole mess. Those in power, who could make the change fo......
 
Online Referral Sites: What you need to know
6/17/2007 3:31 PM
3rd party lead generators espouse the fact that their agents are ‘elite, experienced, etc’ when in fact anyone who gives them a credit card can join their club. What the public doesn’t know is that once you get a middle man involved in the process, that low fee, best price they hoped for goes out the window, because someone has to pay these fees to......
 
Filling the Choice Gap

Is the commission system broken?
5/12/2007 7:39 AM
Professor Hsieh is absolutely correct: real estate services shouldn't be costing so much and they wouldn't if consumers were to pay for the services themselves rather than what is essentially an insurance policy with services thrown in......
 
Technology Vs. Expert Advice
4/25/2007 11:11 AM
It's time for a middle ground: harnessing the incredible power of the Internet to allow those consumers that have the time and desire to market or find their own homes to do so, while bringing in a real estate consultant to provide the vital fiduciary contract-to-close duties. The consultant can also provide choices in how their services can be pai......
 
Information without guidance leads to disaster
4/5/2007 12:01 PM
The papers and newsmagazines have been filled of late with articles about the crisis in Sub-Prime loans issued over the last few years. Seems as though many buyers took out loans that they clearly should not have: loans that sucked........
 
Choice: Risk Vs. Reward
4/1/2007 12:02 PM
After you have explored and weighed different options, based on your individual needs and comfort level, you may find, as many consumers do, that a traditional commission is the best choice for you. And that’s perfectly fine. But you should make that choice because it's the BEST option, not because it's the ONLY option.......

One of my goals in writing my book “Ripping the Roof off Real Estate” as well as in developing the Accredited Consultant in Real Estate (ACRE)™ course for agents is to see the real estate industry evolve similarly to how the financial industry did 20 years ago.......
 
Real Estate Consulting: Simply a Better Idea
3/29/2007 6:00 AM
We believe the time is now to provide consumers what they have wanted for years - responsible choices that give them real value for their money yet provide the real estate professional the compensation that is worthy of the skills, experience, and expertise that we agents bring to the table. We look forward to lively discussions!......
