Have you ever met someone you knew was the right choice to help? That is how it felt for us when we first met Gretchen. She knows the market and trends so intimately that she was able to guide us through the Juneau sale market with ease. Her advice on home repairs, upgrades, and staging were invaluable and we followed them to the letter. Because we listened to her expert advice and suggestions, our home ended up in a bidding war and was under contract in a week, selling for top dollar! Gretchen always checked in with us and kept us informed and on track throughout the process, this communication from her was so valued as it helped us through the most stressful times of a home sale. She was our rock, and her generosity, kindness, and deep knowledge is hard to express in a review. In addition, her team at Ascend Realty is as knowledgeable and dedicated as she is, and helped us every step of the way! If there is one piece of advice that we would give, it is to listen and follow Gretchen's guidance because she will not lead you astray. Gretchen and Ascend Realty are the best choice for a home sale in Juneau. She was not just our realtor, but became our friend.

Gretchen is absolutely awesome to work with. She understands & listens to what your needs are in your home search and she goes out and finds it for you. Very responsive, great communicator and very educated and knows a lot about homes. She was honest with us (no sugar coating) and she is someone we will work with again in the future.

Gretchen helped us to buy our first home back on 2017 you’ll see my review back on Feb 2018. We had a great experience with her that we had no doubt who we needed to contact when it was time to sell our home. We are honored she helped us out with the selling of our home. She advised us to get the best deal possible and get our house ready. The sell was quick because she is an expert with this process and as I said in my first review several years ago she was always there to answer our questions. She went above and beyond again to help us out to have our house as perfect as possible with her great team she has she advised us with the staging strategies, and her professional photographer took awesome pictures of our home and it looked at it’s best.
She has her best interest on her clients and we strongly recommend her to our friends and co-workers. Gretchen you rock!! We strongly recommend you because you have strong negotiation skills, you are genuine, you care of our situation, you are a problem solver, we wish you all the success!!

Gretchen Powers was an excellent real-estate agent to work with! We were impressed with her persistence and commitment to provide us the best services possible, while also ensuring we had a good experience selling our home. Her communication skills are awesome. Gretchen thoroughly and clearly answered our questions, and also for our benefit, proactively addressed upcoming things in the selling process. Her wealth of experience and knowledge were critical to the success of our own experiences selling our home. We not only recommend her as an agent, but we highly recommend her if you want someone of integrity and probity.

We are very pleased with Gretchen Knowledge, and honesty.
We’ve been trying to get a house since 2014. Even though things didn’t turn out the way we wanted back then she never lost contact with us. Because of her great customer service we already knew who to contact by the time we were ready to make the move and find our first home. Last December we finally holded the keys for our first home.
Gretchen was always prompt and knowledgeable with all our questions and negotiations. We are impressed by her professionalism. We truly recommend Gretchen to our friends and family. We wish her all the success. Gretchen is very passionate about her job and that makes her unique.

Gretchen has been my realtor for 7 years and helped me buy two beautiful houses. Gretchen’s quick response to any questions I had was superb. I was well aware that the market was tight and she recommended to wait in the summer to buy a house and found the perfect house for my kids and I.

Gretchen was by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. She worked tirelessly to get the best house for me. She was always available to look at houses on quick notice. I recommend only her to my friends and family.

Charlene did an amazing job selling our home in Juneau. The communication was outstanding, the service was prompt and thorough, and the efficiency was second to none. As a result, the home sold quickly and the experience was overwhelmingly positive. I’d highly recommend Charlene for buying or selling real estate in SE Alaska.

I was so fortunate to have Charlene as my realtor. It was my first-time purchasing a home and I had very little knowledge on the process of buying. Charlene was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, kind, understanding and willing to go above and beyond to help me find the right place. I highly recommend her for all your real estate needs!
