“I knew if I ever needed to buy a house I'd go through Jay no matter where he was. He is honest and I trust him completely. I cannot imagine a better home buying experience. I've never purchased a house before and it was easier and less stressful than buying a car, thanks to Jay. Everything from signing the first papers to the closing went very smoothly because Jay did all the heavy lifting, working with a seller who was (apparently) a bit difficult and even getting me early occupancy. I always knew what to expect and the timeline for each action because Jay is great at keeping in touch all along the way. Jay knew what I was looking for and where I wanted to be; his eye for detail and knowledge of the area put me in the best house for me. He never refused to show me a house I wanted to see but he always encouraged me not to settle. He said he'd get me everything on my "must have" checklist, and he did! I will use RMG again if Jay is still there when I need another house. I will, and have, recommend RMG and Jay to anyone who has real-estate needs.”

“Jay went above and beyond our expectations. He was more than friendly and helpful in every way. We would recommend Jay to anyone that is looking to buy a house in the valley!”

“Anytime you move from the bush, costs to visit homes can become quite costly. Thankfully Jay was a trustworthy and a joy to work with. He was very knowledgeable of our wants and needs and the local area. We placed our trust in Jay and his expertise in the market and area and we found our home with no headaches. He was fast, and always professional. His sense of humor was contagious and we spent more time laughing than stressing. I’d recommend Jay to anyone wanting an easy real estate transaction. Most of all, I’d call Jay a friend after this experience.”

“Jared was an amazing person to work with. He helped us even when he was on his vacation. He is a great people person. If any of my friends ever want to buy or sell I would recommend Jared.”

“Jeremy has been great to work with: responsive, kind and patient.”

“Jared Bjerkestrand is very easy to work with and I was very pleased with his responsiveness. He listened and heard my wants/needs and worked hard to meet them. It is reassuring when you're going through the biggest purchase of your life.”

“Jay was recommended to us by two friends of ours. He did a wonderful job, coaching us step by step through the home buying process. He was extremely easy to communicate with, available by phone and text as needed. We never felt pressured to buy or make a certain decision. He kept us informed and was quick to make himself available to show us homes or answer questions. He truly made the stressful part of buying our first home easier by walking us through the necessary steps along the way. We would highly recommend him!”

“No matter what kind of silly question I had Jeremy was always able to give me a clear and straight forward answer, and he always did it with a smile on his face! He made this entire process go extremely well with very minimal hiccups! Whenever I dealt with someone from RMG it was a great experience! Everyone is so professional and knowledgeable about their trade it seriously makes the whole process of buying a multi family investment property almost feel mundane and dare I say “simple”. Overall I can’t say enough good things about Jeremy and the team at RMG! He has gone above and beyond helping me show the units to prospective tenants, collecting rental applications while I’m away at work and giving me invaluable advice as a landlord himself. I couldn’t have done it without his help and definitely wouldn’t have all my hair if it wasn’t for him!”

“Jay was awesome providing information about different areas; he was available to show us any property that even remotely piqued our interest. Once we decided on a property, he basically held our hands throughout the process. Additionally, he has made it clear that he is available even though we’ve closed on our new home. I have no question that we could not have found a better buyer’s agent!”

“he is extremely excellent. He was always there for me threw this crazy adventure. I am so happy to have him there though this whole thing..”

“Joseph Gugel treated the sale of home in a professional manner. Answered most of my questions, and if not have answer, knew where to find it. Negotiated price and other factors with home inspection to give me a fair deal. If I need to use an real estate agent to buy property, I will contact him.”

“Jay was AWESOME! We will recommend him to everyone we know who is looking to purchase a home in the Mat-Su Valley!”

“Due to our loan it took 6 months to close on our house. John was on top of all our needs and questions. He did an amazing job.”

“I sold my previous home in 2015 through RMG and was intending to buy again sooner but was unable to until just recently. Jeremy kept in touch with texts and phone calls over the passing months while we leased an apartment to see if I was ready to begin the search for a new home to purchase and was very helpful in answering questions. When I was ready, he provided a mortgage broker to help me get prequalified. While I ultimately went with alternate financing, I was educated on all my options and he and the broker were patient in the process of assisting me with information. Jeremy was at all times very prompt and on time for scheduled showings and willing to work with me on my limited schedule even for on the fly showings as they came open in my desired location. He was also very helpful in preventing me from wasting valuable time with properties that would not have suited my financing needs. His wealth of information was very valuable. Because Jeremy is dependable I was able to view and offer on what would have been a coveted property and offer to the seller exactly what was needed to secure the property for a successful sale. Now I and my little family are happily moved into our forever home that is perfectly suited to our needs, aesthetic and affordability. Jeremy was positive, upbeat and understanding through multiple offers that didn't pan out and he didn't let me get discouraged or frustrated with the process. I would recommend Jeremy to any buyer. Most especially I would endorse his services to folks who, as in my situation, may be in a more complicated financing scenario and need special direction and attention to details when contracting with a seller. On a personal level Jeremy also has a great sense of humor and seems to really care about his clients and not just the bottom line. I thank the RMG team and look forward to opportunities to send clients their way in the future.”

“Jared Bjerkestrans and his team had been absolutely amazing from the day we first met them all the way through the closing. He is one of the most patient, knowledgeable, resourceful and professional agents we have ever worked with. Will do business again!”

“Jay had help us buy a previous home and he is very through, keeps the transition stress free, quick to answer any questions we might have and always asking what else he can do for us:)”

“The whole transaction of buying our home went very smoothly throughout the entire experience. Jeremy Tompkins was very accommodating and patient while looking at a long list of houses with us and put a lot of effort into making it as easy as possible. Jeremy was excellent at giving helpful and honest information for each house that we looked at. After we found the house that we wanted to buy Jeremy was constantly attentive to our needs, which were somewhat unusual because my husband was deployed throughout the entire process, giving us sound advice and keeping our best interests in mind. Throughout the entire transaction Jeremy was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and thoughtful. After closing he even gave our family a housewarming gift that really included every single person in our family. Our experience with Jeremy Tompkins was exceptional and I would highly recommend him to family and friends in the future.”

“Thank you for communicating with me in a timely manner and keeping me updated and I had a very good time working with you and you made things a lot easier.”

“Nathan could not have performed any better than he did. He always answered questions, concerns and brought up very interesting facts about the homes we would see and what he knew about the home and always was very polite, knowledgeable, and up to speed on things that were going on with our home and made the purchase a lot easier as we lived in Bethel and were doing a lot of things long distance. He was always very helpful with all aspects of our purchase.”

“Jeremy was Awesome, he really understood what we were looking for, always had answers for pur questions and if he didn't he would figure it pit and get back to us in a very timely manner. He is very personable and was loved working with him and plan to do so again in the future. He was very easy to get in contact with and such a genuine nice guy and we trust him”

“Jared Bjerkestrand was always very responsive to questions or concerns that I had, and was accessible by phone and email at all times. Jared is friendly and easy to work with, and he gave his honest opinion on properties. I have already recommended Jared to others and will certainly use him as my real estate agent again in the future. Thank you for helping me find a beautiful home!”

“Thank you very much to Michael King. He is very professional and excellent in communication. I have dealt with many commercial property transactions in the past. And my expectations are pretty high. But his service was excellent from day 1. Thank you very much, Michael. I will be asking you for next transaction and recommending him to my friends and colleagues.”

“Jeremy was just what I needed as an agent. He was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about our city. I would definitely use him again if I am in need of a real estate agent. Jeremy was a great agent. Jeremy is someone I would definitely work with again.”

“Working with Jay was a very enjoyable experience through the home buying process. I would definitely reccomend him to anyone else looking for a home. Jay will work hard to ensure your needs are met and will not sell you a home you don’t need. He is also very patient and will not rush you into a transaction. To many good things to mention. You will just have to meet him.”

“Great guy, great personality”

“Jay did a awesome job and was great to work with he was up fount and clear about how the whole home buying process would go we stayed on the timeline he gave us he was good about answering questions we had we enjoyed working with him and are super happy with the home he helped us buy”

“Jared took fantastic care of me and worked very hard to make sure that every step of the process was explained, and kept me informed the entire time. His charm and intellect were soothing and kept me at peace with my decision to buy a home. His prowess of the Real Estate market is comparable to none. If I have the option from buying a house from George Washington, Gandhi or Jared......I'm going with Bjerkestrand every time.”

“I don’t with Blake in the past and he referred me to Jared and They both did avery very good job Since I work up on the slope he help me with all the electronic signatures that I needed to do very helpful I’m sorry I put Jarret through a lot but he did a very good job everything was great Everybody was great helped me a lot Everything went smooth”

“Jay is an amazing person who goes above and beyond. Couldn't be happier”

“Blake was professional and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Blake for any property transaction”

“Jared worked with us to review 100s of homes online and visit over 100 homes in the Anchorage market. His knowledge of the market, understanding of our requirements, and what sellers would typically negotiate helped us secure the best deal possible on our new home!”

“I cannot say enough great things about John and the entire team at RMG. After working with several other realtors and agencies in the past, and ultimately deciding not to go with them due to feeling pressured and not heard, I was really hesitant to even attempt to purchase a home again. I heard about RMG through a close friend who I trust, and decided to give them a try. From my first meeting with John, I felt comfortable, understood, heard, and supported without feeling pressured. The team showed me homes that fit my specifications, and then asked me what I liked and disliked about each one, ultimately finding the perfect house for me and my family. Being new to the process, they went through all of the paperwork with me and patiently answered all of my questions. I would absolutely work with John again for any future real estate plans.”

“Very polite, knowledgeable & excellent communication skills!”

“Joseph knows what he is doing. He is amazing. I can't say enough good things about him. He went the extra ten miles. He responded to all my calls and texts quickly. If he didn't know the answer he wouldn't make something up, he would find the answer and get back to me. I didn't tell him that I had a horrible experience with Keller Williams in Pocatello Idaho where they did the bait and switch with money down and interest points. So I was very leary at first going with kw. He put all of my fears and worries to rest. He met with me on his days off and showed me houses and took phone calls. A big thank you to his family also who gave up their time with him for him to help find me a home for my family. I have recommended him to other people and will continue to do so until he retires. He will be my go to person for all of my real estate needs. He got to know me and my needs and wants to find the perfect house for me. I am greatful God put Joseph into my life to make this process as easy and exciting as possible. He is "good people". He deserves a a pay raise or at the very least a bonus. I know it doesn't work that way so I will be contacting him around Christmas and give him one myself. Anyway amazing to work with and he is a keeper.”

“Jared was extremely helpful in coordination to resolve repairs. He did a great job in getting my offer accepted and the whole team was courteous and responsive.”

“My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Huck Bishop! The property he sold for us was in a difficult to reach and remote location. He and the RMG staff knew just how to advertise the land to reach the right type of buyer for our unique property. I would recommend this broker to friends.”

“Buying my first home was one of the scariest and most exciting experiences of my life. John took care of me like I was his own and really put my mind to ease every step of the way. He was always available for my questions and got back to me in a timely matter. I was extremely grateful to be able to work with somebody that I trusted. Working with John and RMG was one of the best decisions that I made in this whole process. I love my new home!”

“Did a good job for us and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell real-estate in the state.”

“Jeremy was the third realtor I worked with during my process of buying my first home. The previous realtors didn't seem concerned with working with/for me, just doing the least amount possible while getting their fee. Jeremy was the exact opposite. He went above and beyond in every way imaginable! I will recommend Jeremy for as long as he is in real estate and I will use him personally in any future transaction!”

“First and foremost I would recommend Jay to anyone. I thought that my family and I had put a bit of pressure on Jay to help us getting into a house in a short time period. I work out of town and my family was moving to Alaska from the east coast. Our time was very limited when we were in town to look at houses and we had a deadline of getting into one prior to our boy starting school. Jay delivered on everything. He was very mindful of our time and what we were looking for in a house. Jay gave me the first impression when we met that he knew what he was doing and it showed when it was time to put in an offer and finalizing all the details in buying our home. It was very seamless and easy. Bottom line if you need a real professional that has the knowledge and passion to help you in your real estate needs I would recommend Jay and would work with Jay and his team anytime.”

“Jared B. was polite, kind, and helpful from the first contact with me! He was knowledgeable in each stage of this process! He was sensitive to my needs in finding a ground level condo in my price range with Manageable HOA’s! I am a single retired school teacher and staying within my means was very important and finding a condo was what I needed! Jared communicated anytime day or night and I appreciated this! I would recommend Jared as a top-notch buyer’s agent and was so pleased that my bank recommended him! I was also impressed that Jared was so committed to his job and agency. He was in class on occasion during our search! I told friends and family that I had a great agent helping me for my little piece of Anchorage. This has been a goal for me since I started my teaching career out in Bethel that I round retire to Anchorage and have a condo! Thank you very much! I was particularly impressed with how thorough Jared was with the examination of the physical properties! He was keen with detail! Best wishes to Jared! You will go far!”

“Jay Bruzas did a fantastic job with helping me find my home. Excellent customer service and knowledge of homes. Went the extra mile showing us homes and making it exciting to actually look at them. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.”

“Jay is an absolute hoot to work with. My wife and I are very thankful we ended up working with him. Not only did we find the house we love, we had a ton of laughs doing it. A very kind and educated man. 10/10 would buy with again.”

“I have dealt with Jay in the past and highly recommend him as knowledgeable and professional. I will use him again in the future as I finish and resell the house I currently am in.”

“He is doing an awesome job and very helpful. John always keep in touch with us to make sure we fully understand the next step during the long process. He is very support and helpful.”

“Huck was very supportive in our decisions to not buy and then eventually buy our house. We never felt pressured into any decisions and we never felt like we were inconveniencing him. He also had very strong general knowledge of houses and the left cal area. We appreciated that very much.”

“Joseph Gugel assisted us with building our dream home, which we had just about given up on getting done. Due to his diligence and knowledge he walked us and all of our stacks of paperwork through to the end. He kept us up to date on everything that was being done on our paperwork and was a great support during the whole building process. Thanks to Joseph Gugel and the entire team that worked with us, we are now in our dream home. We highly recommend him to anyone.”

“Had been told that Alderfer group was good to work with. Did not know we would get lucky and get the chance to have Huck help us. Could not be happier with Huck’s performance. Great to work with. Very knowledgeable. Will only use Huck for any future business. Couldn’t be happier. Will highly recommend him in the future. I believe I only spoke directly with Huck. My wife did the majority of the work on our end though. She also is very happy with the service we received.”

“Jared patently walked us through our six month home search and explained everything to us clearly and concisely. He was always available when we need questions answered or him to show us houses that we had found online. He quickly learned what we desired and helped us find our dream home. He walked us through the purchasing process and he and the entire RMG team was incredible to work with. Thius was best buying experience I have ever had, and that is not limited to just homes. Thank you Jared and all the RMG family.”

“I already knew Jay Bruzas and knew that he would do a fabulous job representing us and our needs for our new home. He certainly delivered! I was sincerely overwhelmed with the closing gift that Jay presented to me at the end of signing my life away. I will never forget how amazing Jay really is and I will be reminded of him and his clearly very thoughtful gift every time I see it hanging on my wall. Thank you again JAY!!!”
