Success Stories!

Below are just a few clips from our clients.

	I found myself thinking of you and your family (all those puppies too) often. What a wonderful experience meeting you, and your family. Seems a little empty not having Crane & Associates interacting daily, I miss you all! Two years ago, when Gordon and I began making plans toward the future we did not know which Realty to turn to. We shopped around! Frankly, hands down, without hesitation we knew you were the one to come into our lives. To sell and buy a home is a tremendous undertaking. It is personal and important to find a real-estate professional that you can rely on. When the time was right and we were ready to sell and buy, (two years later), we chose you! This time without shopping around! We maintained complete faith and confidence in our journey with you. Your attentiveness and competence excelled over all expectations. We are truly grateful to you. Thank you for everything! We are so happy with our new home. We are working hard to get our little ranch put together. One horse home, one more to go. She is due to arrive within the next two weeks! When the dust settles, I would love for you and your family to come over and check out our little farm. I refer Crane & Associates proudly! Gordon & Jill Alvey
	Our experience in working with Les from Crane & Associates as both a selling and buying agent was professional, friendly, efficient and stress-free. We were pleased with the level of knowledge and experience Les presented as well as an excellent virtual tour of our home on their website. Les was always there to answer any of our questions in a timely manner, making us feel like we were his only clients. Without that combination of professionalism and our confidence in Les to make our dreams come true, we do not believe our home would have sold within only a few weeks. He completely exceeded our expectations and helped us get top dollar for our home. We will, and have already recommended Les to friends and family as the “agent of choice,” and will do so again for ourselves in the future.” Rick & Jenn Paz
	We bought our first home in Alaska with the kind assistance of Steve in 2001.  He was ever so patient!  We just made another home purchase and turned to Steve and Les for help.  They were both terrific and we consider them our friends, not just some professional people we know, but friends who just happen to be in Real Estate.  In both situations, these guys went the extra mile for us. Colleen & Jim Emerson
	Our experience working with Les at Crane & Associates was everything we hoped a buyer-realtor relationship to be. Being First Time Homebuyers we needed a realtor we could trust and would walk us through the process. Les was professional, thorough, and exactly what we needed. We would highly recommend anyone looking for a realtor to give him a chance. He researched every question that we had as well as took it upon him-self to find out any other pertinent information that would help us find the right house. We absolutely love the house that we bought. In the future, if we ever decide to sell and look for something else we know that we will be well taken care of with Les. Kenny and Rachel
	Les and Steve Crane sold our home in 3 weeks! Other realtors suggested we sell our home for far less than what Steve and Les said they could sell it for and they did. Les became our seller’s agent and everything was taken care of thoroughly and professionally. We had complete confidence in Les and his attention to detail as he guided the sale of our house. His calmness and friendliness was very nice to work with. We highly recommend Les at Crane & Associates Realty - he will absolutely be our realtor again!

	Crane & Associates Realty has proven to me that they have the professionalism and experience to create a real estate transaction and then most importantly work through the entire process and overcome all of the necessary obstacles in order to complete the transaction. I was pleased with the level of attention and service that I received. Les and Steve acted as both the listing and selling agent in our real estate purchase and I believe they handled the dual agency with integrity and honesty. I would buy and/or sell another home through Crane and Assoc. Realty and I would recommend them to my friends. Seth Short
	Our experience working with Les was GREAT!!! We highly recommend Les at Crane & Associates anytime anyone mentions needing a realtor.  We really appreciated his willingness to schedule appointments/showings that worked well with our family schedule.  We have two young children, and Les even made a few trips to our home because we couldn't make it to his office.  Les is honest, friendly and professional.  We will gladly do business with Les if we ever have any realty needs!!!  Burr & Jaime Maly
	In July of 2005 I listed my house and acreage with Crane and Associates Realty. I really needed to sell my house as soon as possible since I had committed to purchasing a house elsewhere. Both Steve and Les were involved in my effort to sell my house. I found both of them incredibly dedicated and easy to communicate with throughout the process.  Attention to detail and regular communication with me clearly marked all their efforts. In addition, there was a very real effort on the part of both Steve and Les to obtain the best dollar return for my home.  Incredibly, they sold the house the first day they listed it due to their excellent networking with multiple agents.  Needless to say, I highly recommend Crane and Associates Realty to everyone. It doesn’t get any better than this in the world of realty.  Jim Spielman (former resident of Soldotna)
	" When we were looking for property Les was very helpful in getting us the information that we needed when we needed it. The closing was very smooth and we would definitely use Les in the future." Steve and Janet Ross, Homer
