General Topics

In Alaska, you the Anchorage home Buyer have options as how you want to be represented or not be represented in a real estate transaction. The State of Alaska has developed a form which outlines your options, Alaska Real Estate Consumer Protection Pamphlet.  You should take the time to read this document as all Alaska real estate licensees are required by Alaska State law to get you, the Anchorage home buyer, to acknowledge receipt of it with your signature. IT IS NOT A CONTRACT! most Anchorage real estate licensees are diligent about getting you to sign one at your first face to face meeting.

Why? If they do not they could be fined by the State of Alaska. It is the law and they are trying to maintain compliance. They are required to keep it on file for one year.
