Testimonials

Empire sold our rental property quickly! Our agent was attentive to every detail of the transaction, and troubleshooted very effectively. Professional and easy to work with. We highly recommend Empire Realty. - Chelsi E

Joel did a fantastic job helping us find our home! He was professional, efficient, and great with communication. We really felt like he was working for us and really listening to what we wanted and needed in a home. I would highly recommend Joel. - Chip V

I was extremely pleased with the whole experience I had with the services of Billy Blackburn of Empire Realty. He was very personable and took the time to share his knowledge of the processes required to sell my home. I would definitely recommend you see Billy if you want your house sold. - Rick S

Joel knows the market and will get your house sold quickly and at the right price! - Kimberly A

Billy has been our realtor of choice for our realty purchases for the last 5 years or so. He has always gone above and beyond any realtor we have had in Alaska and any other state we have bought or sold homes. Billy is a realtor you can trust to be honest, he isn’t just interested in getting his pay from the closing, he has always been willing to help or answer question after closing, when we’ve seen other realtors refuse since the deal is complete. - Michael F

From start to finish Billy Blackburn & the rest of Empire Realty were nothing short of phenomenal when it came time for us to purchase our next home. This is the second time working with Billy and he will be who we use (& recommend to all of our friends) for all future transactions as well! Top notch! Very professional. Honest & hardworking! Great job Billy & team!! - Leslie F

Joel is awesome to work with! He did a market analysis on my house. I was considering selling to buy a fixer upper but due to his honest, straightforward approach, I ended up keeping my house for now. When it comes time to sell and buy a new house, I will definitely call on Joel at Empire Realty! Highly recommend!!! - M C

I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars! - M

I would feel very confident recommending Empire to my friends - Jeremy J

The team at Empire is fantastic, they go the extra mile to make each transaction as easy as possible. They work together as a team and family. Billy Blackburn is retired Army and knows the military way of life. He makes moving to a new area simple and as stress free as possible. - Claire B

We've worked with Joel for years. He's solid and will get the job done right. - Erik H

Kris is not only knowledgeable but also fantastic to work with. I highly recommend her and the team! - Scott K

We asked Kris to help us find a house. We gave her what wanted and on the 1st showing we knew it was "the one" . She answered our questions thru out the whole process and continued to check in after closing!! Everyone at Empire is the BEST!!! They truly do CARE!!! Kris always answered emails and phone calls even late at night and weekend!! She went the extra mile even in the madness!!!!! - Katy E

Joel was very professional did a thorough market analysis looking carefully at recent comps. He gave me the info I needed to price my home competitively and within days we had a signed purchase agreement. He was always easy to contact, did a great job of follow through and communicated well. I highly recommend him and will be looking forward to working with him again in the future. - Chris S

Kris Dela Sierra is truly the best!! She was very professional, and patient with us, considering we were first time home buyers and had tons of questions. She has been in touch with us since day 1, and throughout the entire process, keeping us updated on every single thing that went on with the house. She made us feel like we were her only clients. Never failed to respond when ever we had any questions. It didn't matter if she was out hunting, or in bed ready to call it a night, she always made time to respond to our texts or phone calls. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Thank you Kris for helping us find our perfect home!! - June C

We had the pleasure of working with an amazing realtor at Empire Realty, Kris Dela Sierra. We were in contact months prior to purchasing our first home. During the process Kris was understanding to our wants and needs, professional, thorough in detail and made us feel like we were her only client. She answered every question we had, always on top of our home process, and by far she has made our first time experience smooth sailing. She found our perfect home! We couldn’t be happier with the decision we made and having the privilege to work with Kris. - Alexia A

This is a long overdue review... Bottom line up front: Jewel Addison is an exceptional realtor who helped us find our dream home - a process that took a little over 7 years. Starting in 2010, Jewel worked with us patiently when we first arrived in AK with the military and while navigated the home buying process for the first time. We had a very specific home and setting in mind and it soon became apparent we wouldn't find what we were looking for right away. Over the years and through a couple of moves with the military, a deployment, and a few family additions, she maintained contact and eventually helped us find the perfect retirement home. She is very knowledgeable, attentive, easy going, and your best bet in a unique market. If you are thinking of buying a house in the greater Fairbanks/North Pole area, enlist her talents with the utmost confidence - I cannot recommend anyone more strongly! - The Yeti

Jewel is always a real pleasure to work with! She stays on top of things every step of the way, always informative and professional. Best of the Best in Fairbanks!!! - Shaun R

Jewel was wonderful in helping us find our perfect house. She was attentive to our needs, incredibly flexible with our unusual schedules, and an amazing resource in moving to Alaska. The entire team at Empire were helpful and quick to respond. We could not have had a better experience. - E

Jewel is very professional but also very real. I had complete confidence that she was looking out for my best interest. She is very knowledgeable. If I ever buy or sell again she is the person I will go to. - Dawnia F

Billy Blackburn was a joy to work with, he pretty much did everything!! We didn't have to lift a finger really until it was time to sign for the house! He worked around our schedules which was really above and beyond!! When we get ready to leave Alaska we will definitely be using him to sell our home!! - Megan A

I have had two separate purchase transactions with Joel and his team over the last 6 months. In both occasions I had felt the representation of my needs and attention to detail were paramount. The knowledge of the staff and the late night conversations in preparation for showings etc was most helpful :) (Sorry Joel). As a busy professional myself, I felt secure knowing that everything behind the scenes was handled and I would encounter no surprises. Based upon my experiences with the Empire team, there is no doubt in my mind, If you need a real relator with your best interests in mind. Seek out the best, Go with Empire! - Michael B

I resisted hiring a property manager for way too long!! Now that Jessica is taking care of things, my landlord experience has been stress free. When I consider what I pay in management fees now, compared to how much time I used to spend managing this property myself, I don't know why anyone would do their own managing. - Josh K

Very helpful had a great experience. Jewel was great and very professional at what see does. Thanks for the great experience Empire Realty - Wesley W

What an AWESOME Company. The new owner, I think his name is Joel Johnson was so helpful and honest. I would recommend these guys to everyone. - Fidelity C

We used Jewel again to buy another home. Just like the first time she met all of our needs and went above and beyond to help us, even with our difficult schedules. - Maxx M

Jewel walked me thru over 15 houses in our search for our perfect home. She was super patient and informative. - Audra A

Joel has been a great friend to me since I've moved to Fairbanks. His stories and advice are the best. - Dan C

Joel did an incredible job helping me find my perfect home. He kept me and my kids best interests in mind - he is knowledgeable and honest. I absolutely love my home and recommend him and Empire Realty! - Leah S

Couldn't be happier with my experience at Empire Realty, professional, punctual, and the most knowledgeable in Fairbanks. - Aaron W

I have always had smooth and enjoyable transactions :) - Ethan W

Joel and his staff are the best. Joel is professional and on top of his game. He also has one of the best senses of humor to break up the stress of buying a house. honest, straight shooter, and always answers his phone. I wouldn't buy a house with anyone else. - Erich O

Jessica is great to work with. She went above and beyond finding us a place to rent. She listened to our wants and needs and found us the perfect place. The property was clean and move in ready. We recommend Empire Property Management. Work with their team and you are working with the best. - Joyce S
