We only represent buyers! I handle all buyers but specialize in military and ex-military buyers. Brokers/agents that list properties, yet still claim to be buyers agents, can be working for the seller if they are showing the buyer homes from their brokerage. My Experience I am an Accredited Buyer Representative.
I have been representing buyers in Fairbanks since 1992. I have worked for Century 21, Coldwell Banker and ERA. In 1998 I opened Fairbanks' first Buyers' Brokerage catering exclusively to buyers. By 2001 my sales volume was in the top 10%. The loyalty of my buyers has allowed me to annually rank in the top 5% of realtors in Fairbanks in sales volume.

The number one reason for choosing an Exclusive Buyer Agent is that you will save money on your new home purchase because he or she is representing "only you" and not the sellers. There are three main types of Realtors: Seller Agents, Exclusive Buyer Agents (or Brokers), Dual Agents (including non-exclusive Buyer Agents).
My agent agrees she "technically" represents the seller, but says she will be fair and "take care of me." Isn't that all I need?. Of course agents try to be fair and nice to the buyer since they want to make a sale. But, because they are bound by Real Estate License Laws, the Law of Agency, and their Code of Ethics, they can only do so much without jeopardizing their license to practice.
We purchase our home from Chris back in 2016. This was our second time purchasing and our very first time was a. nightmare so picking the right agent and someone we can trust was very very important. When we saw the home we liked, we put in the offer and we got the home. Not only the buying process was smooth, we also loved the duplex we bought.

We had called a realtor listed on a home we wanted to look at and got a bit of a run around scheduling it. The realtor could not seem to understand our budget or our needs. As soon as we talked to Chris he was able to get us scheduled to see the house we had been wanting to look at. We got into a bidding war and even though our offer wasn't the highest, he had written it so well the sellers went with our offer. Chris was there every step of the way. He worked with our schedules. He helped us with the process of the home inspection, well/septic inspection and even the repairs. The repairs were a

Chris did well in helping me secure a home I found and getting the paperwork handled while still living in the lower 48. He is knowledgeable about the local market with years of experience. During the build, there were some conflicts, and Chris did a fair job at working through them. I would recommend him to someone in the local area.

My wife and I were recommended by a friend of ours to use Chris as our realtor and we have nothing but good things to say. From the first day we called he was eager to help us find the perfect home and we did! We ran into some issues to begin with but he worked time and time again to fix the problems we had to ensure we could purchase our house! The process went as smooth as could be expected and he was so willing to help us along the way with us being first time home buyers! When we moved in we had some issues with the house and he was such a big help and made sure we had everything we needed

Chris is a great relator, he thought out of the box and did everything possible for me to get my home. With any other relator, I probably wouldn't have got the deal that I did for my home. In addition Chris referred me to an amazing contractor, Jerry Rice. Being a single woman and knowing very little about construction, having someone that is trustworthy and honest is critical. Jerry is not only trustworthy and honest but the dedication he showed to resolving my water pump issues as quickly and cost effectively as possible, was truly unbelievable. Jerry is not only ethical with excellent workmanship

Getting Chris to help us buy a home was the best decision we made! He has knowledge, wisdom, and very skilled at what he does. We appreciate that he knows all about the military; that was an extra set of knowledge we needed the person to help us out have. We are in our dream home now and he gets the credit! We wouldn't recommend anyone else, especially if you are military! He is nothing less than an angel in disguise who advocated for us the entire process. I don't know what we would have done without all his help/guidance. Beyond happy!

Chris Calhoon is exceptional! He is the realtor you want by your side! His due diligence, hard-work, and all around knowledge of the real estate world is top notch! I never doubted myself in the home buying process with Chris. My family and I came from out of state and now we are proud owners of a gorgeous home. He ensured that we had information especially coming in to a new area. His mastery of the home buying process was impeccable! If you're looking for an agent; look no further Chris is the professional you want!

I was looking for property and the laying agent ignored me. We used Chris back in 2007 so I gave him a call. Well got the land and got 5k off so I'm happy. I've had no issues with him and he knows the market and what kind of offer gives one a chance at getting accepted! I'll recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a house up here!!
