Glacier City Realty Featured Properties

"I had the utmost pleasure of working with Sam Daniel with Glacier City Realty to sell my owner built, beautiful mountain top Bear Valley home and find my perfect home in Bayshore in 2020. This was a complex sale and Sam had the skills, expertise, confidence, and an abundant wealth of overall knowledge to navigate it skillfully and gracefully. I ended up with two contracts to sell and felt secure in the process the entire time. His professional and calm nature was very helpful, as there was a lot of emotional context around this situation. His clear communication was very educational and supportive. Sam also helped me find my perfect home in Bayshore, and worked that deal with confidence and ease. Although real estate can offer many variables and unknowns, with his decades of experience and ethical leadership, I always knew I was in good hands. I am forever grateful for Sam at Glacier City Realty for helping me with this monumental life change and transition!"

"I can't say enough about how well and easy our house sold with Sam Daniel from Glacier Realty. From the first time we met he was professional, friendly and a wealth of knowledge. During each stage of the process he patiently explained everything and followed up on every question we had. I have complete confidence that anyone who chooses this company they will be extremely happy!"

"Since Sam Daniel of Glacier City Realty had already sold several pieces of property for our family, I knew he would again do a great job selling our Anchorage Hillside home this past summer. We closed on November 15. He did not miss a beat in the process which made it so much easier for me. Communication is key with so many variables involved. Thank you Sam and staff for job well done!!!"

"Back in 2011 when looking to purchase property in Girdwood, AK we hired Sam and Loretta Daniel to help us. We feel they did a great job helping us negotiate the purchase of a place so when it came time to sell we wanted someone that was very familiar with the quirky market Girdwood is to help us get a fair sale price for our home. Working primarily with Sam on the sale he did a wonderful job of communicating and keeping us in the loop at all times while advising us of our rights and options.  I would strongly recommend them for your Realestate needs in the Anchorage area."

"I was faced with selling the home of an elderly parent, which had recently undergone repairs after the November 30th earthquake. I needed an experienced Realtor. I called Glacier City Realty based on a friend's recommendation. Sam responded quickly with a thorough market analysis and a plan to sell the house. He arranged for professional photos, custom staging, and an aggressive marketing plan. Sam used technology and marketing software to always keep us updated on showings and feedback. We successfully sold the home without any unforeseen 'hiccups'. I am grateful to Sam and would recommend Glacier City Realty to anyone wishing to have a successful sale of their property."

"I can’t say enough how important it was to have Sam Daniel as my advisor during the search for a home in Girdwood. I see a lot of folks doing things on their own and started out in that direction, but quickly found there were nuances and details I did not have the time or expertise to tackle. Sam and his staff supported our family at every turn and made sure we got the best value in a home that we couldn’t be happier with."

"Sam sold two properties for us in 2019, our lodge and our home. What impressed us the most about working with Sam is he responds to phone calls, emails, or texts throughout the entire process in a timely manner. We felt like we were in knowledgeable, professional and honest hands at all times. His communication skills and diplomatic nature allowed the whole process to move smoothly. We are now able to open a new and exciting chapter in our lives thanks to Sam‘s unwavering efforts on our behalf."

"We enjoyed working with Sam. He was personable, experienced in the real estate market, responsive, and went over and beyond what we were expecting out of a realtor. While we were traveling overseas, he met with contractors at our home and solicited bids to correct home inspection items, and played a key role in helping us sell our home in less than 2 months from list date to recording date. We highly recommend his services. "

“We really appreciated the outstanding service provided by Sam Daniel at Glacier Realty! He made the process of buying our property as smooth as possible and helped us make the purchase we have desired for years a reality! He provided excellent guidance and an idea of what to expect every step along the way. We highly recommend the team at Glacier Realty, especially Sam!"

“It is no small matter to buy a home, but to buy it somewhat sight-unseen from thousands of miles away (literally the opposite corner of America), that’s an impressive challenge. Thanks to the exceptional professionalism and service of Rebecca and Glacier City Realty, our family was able to do just that.”

“We appreciated your positive, professional attitude and patience with a challenging deal. Everyone we worked with had a very positive outlook. We really felt like you were working hard for us to find us the right property. Your wealth of experience in real estate and in Girdwood in particular was very helpful as we searched for the right property for us. You were very responsive and good communicators. Your advice and perspective was invaluable to our search.”

“One of the best agencies I’ve worked with. Every step of the way was very clear. Always great to work with someone that takes personal pride in their work!”

“Rebecca with Glacier City Realty found the house I purchased before it was on the public MLS website and ensured that I was able to view the house very quickly. It was her prompt and efficient work that helped to insure I was the first, and only offer on the house I bought. Rebecca was always willing to schedule showings, even at the last minute and she would drive into Anchorage for these showings.”

“You guys were very patient in working with me and the sellers. Between this being my first home purchase, kind of a funky place, a FSBO, and my wife being out of state, I’m sure it wasn’t the most cut and dry purchase. But you were really patient in making sure I understood how the process worked and you did everything you could to get us into the home that we were really interested in, despite some challenges.”

“Jackie was always on top of things, looking out for our interests. She was an amazing advocate for us when we found what we wanted and pursued it. She made the process painless and easy. We will be forever grateful for her thoroughness and attention to detail.”

“Personal attention. Being “there” at critical moments in the process. Facilitating repairs, inspections, cleaning. Having a great working relationship with tradesmen and service providers in the valley.”

“Very good grasp on Girdwood market that lent itself to successfully determine the proper market value to sell this property. Also liked Sam’s style and easy personality in dealing with listing/offer issues. Very straight forward, which we appreciated.”

“Everything went perfectly thanks to Jackie and her office. I felt as a far away customer (florida buying in Alaska) that I was just beyond lucky in working with Glacier City Realty. If I have future real estate questions or needs I feel confident that I know the right number to call and would recommend that office and Jackie to my friends with confidence.”

“Sam was very patient and understanding about my special needs and requirements in my search for a more suitable condo in Girdwood, so that I could buy in exchange for selling my current one. When I finally saw the right one, he helped me every step of the way in getting all the buying and selling details correct. Any time I had a questions, whether it pertained directly to the sale or not, he spent the time necessary to get me a full correct answer- and still does today- weeks after the exchange took place. Sam was recommended to me and I recommend his service to anyone wanting to buy or sell real estate in Girdwood, Alaska.”

“As a first time home buyer, I was honored to work with Rebecca and Sam. The professionalism and attention to detail was top notch.We chose to work with Sam and Rebecca because of our friendship throughout our community. We were very pleased with the communication and availability for questions. A few days after the closing, I actually missed our daily emails. I highly recommend Glacier City Realty for purchasing a home in this confusing market.”

“Sam and his team were great to work with! I would suggest using Glacier City Realty to anyone. Girdwood is an awesome place, and GCR is the team to show you around or to sell your property.”

“Sam came through with his promise and found us the perfect home within a relatively short period of time and guided us through the process of purchasing it quickly and efficiently. By the time we closed, Sam was more a friend than a realtor. We would recommend Glacier City Realty as the best of the best.”

He makes good choices – and he’s always available to tend to any tenant needs. The business is professional – we always get the records needed and we always get response when we call. We have dealt with other property managers elsewhere, so are able to recognize the quality of service that Sam provides. We thoroughly recommend Sam and Glacier City Realty.”
