I drove here from Pennsylvania in July 2000, looking for wilderness, wildlife and snow, no turning back and I haven’t been disappointed. I did have a place to live, but didn’t start working until September. I now own my cabin, mortgage is paid, and I’ve been retired for six years. Many thanks for God taking care of my needs.

@@chucksanders5130 That’s great!

[@justinhall8739]

Im in PA now, looking to do the same. I had an interview in Anchorage but haven't heard back. Do you got any advice on how to travel through Canada with my wife, 4 dogs, and guns?

[@adrianpozos3498]

@@alaska_realtor How much money do you recommend budgeting for moving to Alaska on the AlCan Highway from California?

[@romualdob1053]

I moved to Alaska three years ago inspired by your videos to Anchorage. I started in Fairview was normal for Lower 48 standards but after seeing the rest of Alaska, I realized that this state is more heavenly than possible. Now, I'm looking for a house in Alaska

[@alaska_realtor]

@@romualdob1053 That’s exciting! Give me a call/text at 907-229-1792 if you want help finding a house.

Well done! Well said!

Not in 22 yrs have I felt like I did in Alaska, I'm not sure words can describe how I felt. I actually kissed the ground when I left, swearing to return to this land I thought was made for a person like me. See you soon ..

[@gator1959]

Your #1 is our #1, spot on, " Have you seen the lower 48? " This is not the Florida I grew up in. As a 5th Gen Floridian, I am sick of the traffic, the urge of developer's to concrete everything green over, and as I have got older the heat and humidity is something I am done with. Plus, My beach body left the building many years ago..... P.S. oh, and our HOA sucks!!!

When I moved to Alaska Wasilla had a flashing light on the main highway. About 17,000 people lived in the Mat Su and now there are close to 100,000 more. You can get away though. We just spent a week at our off road recreational place. It’s atv or snow machine access only.

@@gator1959 I’m heading that more and more from FL. Alaska has its development to, but it’s easy to slip away

Im looking to move there in about a year and half from now maybe 2

[@nathanadams8207]

Jamin, me and my wife flew up to Anchorage last Thursday. We have been in Wasilla, Palmer and Homer so far. We liked Wasilla and Palmer, but the Kenai peninsula is really interesting to us. Drive for 1-2 hours snd nothing but natural beauty. I will be looking for a job here every day until I find one. Rural Alaska brings about a peace of mind you can't find in the lower 48 rat race. We're on a mission to get here permanently.

[@alaska_realtor]

@@nathanadams8207 that’s exciting! With that intensity, I’m sure you’ll find something 😃

[@MattAK]

Because Alaska is awesome.

[@karmathephoenix2474]

You are so on point Jamin with the seasons changing, industries of tourism, fishing, transportation. In addition to the quietness that is golden and rare. So many places to go to work out and see incredible scenes of nature. Slower and quieter communities providing less stress that could actually save someone's life. Lastly, the adventure Alaska provides. Imagine riding down a snowy and wooded path on your snowmobile when the sun just set? I cannot wait!

[@theangryamerican3506]

Hello. My wife and I are flying out on Wednesday to Fairbanks. We've subscribed to your channel and watched a lot of your videos. We really appreciate all the Intel ...I'd like to get in contact with you about some land around Fairbanks... thanks for all the information 😊

[@SoliDeoGloria9800]

Number 1 is such a good reason. Everytime my wife and I go down to the lower 48 to visit family, we are reminded how much better we like living up here. When you say prices are catching up to the lower 48, do you think Alaska prices are getting cheaper? Or that costs down there are rising faster?

[@alaska_realtor]

@@SoliDeoGloria9800 I suspect prices are just getting more expensive down there…kinda narrows that gap and makes you wonder why bother living with the difference in quality of life.

[@DemonKingTyler]

I wouldn't mind moving to Alaska to get further from East Palestine Ohio, those forever chemicals, are something else.

[@brandonpacheywiredforlife]

Nailed it.

[@user-ep7xc8ry4f]

I have been researching moving there and I will do that in 12 months. I would like your opinion as I have narrowed it down to two places. Kenia or Homer. Would like your take on these two locations if you will.

[@colbyentzminger217]

Heyo, I just moved to Kenai, and I personally love it. Homer is a short hour and thirty minutes away. It certainly has some better views, but what I enjoy about Kenai is how much more accessible it is to a variety of points. Anchorage, Seward, and Homer are all under 3 hours of driving. It’s a quiet little town with everything we need. Homer is beautiful, but I personally enjoy living in Kenai overall.

[@alaska_realtor]

@@user-ep7xc8ry4f Sure! Reach out on the website and I’d be happy to help.
