Gretchen made the whole process seem so easy. We moved to another state before our home sold and all of the paper work went so smooth and quick. Gretchen handeled all of the details and our home sold quickly. It was a real pleasure working with Gretchen. Gretchen also connected me with an agent where we moved and that is working out great.

Gretchen proved to be very flexible working with my move-to-Oregon timeline. She provided resources and support for me regarding home repairs, cleaning services and the like. And after I left Juneau on the ferry, Gretchen provided comprehensive support for me with local vendors and contractors for the numerous tasks in prepping my home for the initial posting, as well as working with the buyer's agent during negotiations. An awesome experience! "Trust your realtor!" applies in all aspects of working with Gretchen.
Gretchen was a great agent. She really understands the Juneau area market and did an outstanding job on my market analysis. She and her team understand how to market a home in this area, including professional photography, social media, and more traditional means. Gretchen was highly responsive to any and all inquiries I had and has a ready rolodex of professionals that can help with any manner of preparing the home for sale. She was present and engaged every step of the way from when I first approached her about my home until after the sale and making sure I had all documents and materials. I highly recommend Gretchen Powers and Ascend Realty.

Gretchen helped us to buy our first home back on 2017 youll 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 its 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!! Ramirez Family
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 did a wonderful job doing a market analysis, staging our home and marketing our home. We highly recommend her for selling your current home or buying a new one in the Juneau area.

The results speak for themselves: impressive showings, a quick sale, excellent communication throughout, and a sale that exceeded our expectations on so many different levels. Gretchen will make you feel as if you're her only client while you are buying or selling a home. 10/10 would recommend that everyone in Juneau get to know and work with Ascend Realty!
Working with Gretchen was a great experience and I would hands down recommend her to anyone in Juneau looking to buy or sell a home. Gretchen came in to our first meeting prepared with a friendly smile and a can-do attitude. She gave us a very professional report and market analysis that really helped us see what was possible with the sale of our home and the future plans we were contemplating. Throughout the process, where we saw possible aEURoeproblemsaEUR?, she offered us solutions and advice to ease our anxiety and turn our home into a place that buyers would love as much as we had. We were very impressed with her whole team, which included advice on staging, social media marketing and rapid, professional responses to our concerns.

Gretchen was my agent who recently helped me sell my home and I can not say enough of how much I enjoyed working with her. Gretchen is thorough, knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, professional, smart, and a great communicator. She constantly kept me updated, as we moved through the sales process. Gretchen was terrific to work with and I would hire her again to represent me in a heartbeat.
Wanted to pass a big thank you to Gretchen on the sale of my house. She was professional, friendly & a good communicator. Had just an excellent grasp of the market in Juneau. Was always available to talk to when I had questions or needed to sort something out. Gretchen just did an incredible job of staging and marketing my house, and was always there with advice as I was fixing it up to sell. She was able to pass me contact information on people to get work done on the house, and they were all just great. Within a couple of days after the house went on market I had multiple offers, one of which I accepted. And then, working through the inevitable details that come with actually closing the house, she was always there with information for me, and completely on top of getting everything done that needed to be taken care of. Just the best experience, would totally recommend her.
Gretchen is an excellent realtor! She is authentic, honest, assertive, and responsive. She is very knowledgeable of market dynamics and real estate processes. She negotiated strongly on our behalf to make our dream come true of owning the property next to our home. She is very committed to her work! Also, her love of the outdoors, pets, Juneau, and Alaska makes her the right fit for us!
If you are faced with the choice of who to work with to buy/sell a home in Alaska, the answer is simple, Gretchen is the person for you!Gretchen was awesome to work with!!! Any questions that I had about a property, she was always super quick to respond with both objective answers, as well as her subjective opinion when asked to provide it. This process would not have been as manageable as it was without Gretchen's expert knowledge and advice along the way.Further, Gretchen always took the time to explain things in an easy to understand manner and made sure that the information that she was trying to convey was understood. I learned so much from her that made my experience significantly less stressful than that of my friends, and that will in turn help me navigating the buying of a home in the future.
Gretchen recently sold a piece of remote Alaskan property for me. She was very efficient and effective. She made the whole process simple and stress free. I was very pleased with the outcome. I really appreciated her approach to whole process. She did good market research, gathered all the resources she needed to advertise the lot, negotiated strongly on my behalf and took care of all of the paperwork details related to the transaction. I couldnt be happier with the entire experience, and I highly recommend Ascend Realty.
Gretchen was fantastic. Recommend to me by a previous client of hers, she absolutely did a great job selling my place start to finish. Lots of knowledge, extremely pleasant & professional, and always very quick to be right on top of everything. She seems to work 24/7 & obviously enjoys what she is doing, you cant go wrong with her.
Gretchen is an amazing realtor! Her level of integrity in the home buying process is evident every step of the way. She is honest, straightforward, trustworthy, and assertive.

Last August when I asked a friend who has been in the real estate world in Juneau for many years to give me a couple of recommendations of agents to reach out to for advice about selling my home, she gave me only one name: Gretchen Powers. I contacted Gretchen and she promptly met with me at my home, gave me some tips on what I should do to improve its marketability for the best price, and explained the selling process. While she was ready to jump right in, I hesitated and postponed selling my home.Fast forward to March 2020 -- I decided it was indeed time and I contacted Gretchen. Her expertise on everything from staging for marketing images to excellent listing copy to being on top of everything that needed to get done was amazing. I can't think of one thing I was unhappy about.Thanks to her work, my home sold quickly and I needed to find a place to live. Gretchen also led me through that process, helping me decide on what area of town and what type of place would work best for my lifestyle. Needless to say, that experience was also amazing, and I'm now happily perched in my new place, happy and so grateful to Gretchen, who was not only my agent but is also now my friend.
Gretchen is just great. Buying a house in Juneau from CA during COVID is not a fun experience but Gretchen was with us throughout the process. She coordinated with the sellers through various delays, extending our contract as needed. She uses a great document management system that made signing everything easy and clear on status (I wish our lender had half that capability!). We cannot say enough about our wonderful experience, she takes care of her clients. Thank you Gretchen!
I highly recommend Gretchen. She works hard for her clients. She listened to exactly what we are looking for, notified us as homes entered the market, and provided great advice through the buying process. When it came to selling our home, she had smart suggestions for showcasing its best features and maximizing value. And, she continued her hard work through the selling process making sure everything happened smoothly. Through out, she listened, answered questions, and helped strategize to accomplish our goals.
My granddaughter and I just purchased my granddaughter's first condo through Gretchen. I've worked with many agents over the years, both buying and selling, and Gretchen is one of the best. She was so respectful and professional with my granddaughter. We will definitely being working with Gretchen again!
I would absolutely recommend Gretchen to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in Juneau! She recently helped me sell my home and I cannot recommend her enough. Gretchen made me feel informed and comfortable from the start of the process. I was actually out of state throughout most of the sale and Gretchen handled everything like a boss! She made sure everything stayed on track and was quick to find resources in town when needed. I never had to stress through any part of the sale. I can honestly say that Gretchen is thorough, professional, and extremely dedicated to her clients- exactly the kind of real estate agent you would want to have on your side.
Gretchen was recommended to me by a friend and I am SO glad I used her as my agent for my recent home purchase! When we began the home-buying process, she took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for in a house, then went out and found multiple listings for me to view. When I was considering making an offer that she felt was too high, she gently reminded me what I had told her I was looking for and wanted to spend. She worked very hard to find me the perfect house and was beside me through every step of the purchase. She was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive! If you are looking for a real estate agent who is professional, knows the local market, will be straightforward and honest, and who will work her hardest to get you into the best home for you, then Gretchen is the lady to call! Thank you, Gretchen, I love my new house!

Without a doubt, I will most definitely choose and recommend Gretchen. From beginning to end, Gretchen has been amazing, patient, kind, and understanding to my partner and I. We never felt rushed and she was always eager to accommodate us between ours and her busy schedules. Gretchen is an expert in her field and is always willing to share great ideas. She has an amazing heart, she doesnt make you feel like its all just business because she will treat you like a friend.

I hired Gretchen to represent me in buying a condo I found on Zillow. In addition to her vast experience and knowledge, I found her to have remarkable negotiating skills. Combined with her patient and optimistic approach, wise counsel and methodical, thorough follow-up, Gretchen made this purchase process a stress-free, enjoyable experience.
I was looking for a new realtor as I decided to continue my families journey to looking into a new home. A friend/coworker recommended her realtor and that's when I met Gretchen. I am so grateful that we met Gretchen because if not for her, I don't think my family and I would be able to purchase our very first home by the end of the year of 2018. When I first met Gretchen, I wasn't in a rush in getting a home because my family were going on a vacation for a whole month and it just felt like the wrong timing since I didn't want to rush. But as I was working with Gretchen and looking at what's in the market, I found a home that I really wanted and Gretchen was right on it. She was very professional and very quick into getting things moving even if the seller was very hard to reach, she always tried her best for us. Even if I was feeling very stressed, she made sure to not worry about anything. Thank you so much Gretchen! We are very thankful that we worked with such a friendly and awesome person!
Gretchen recently helped us sell our condo in Douglas, Alaska. We could not have hoped for a more smooth and easy process. Gretchen was amazing from the first card that she sent us thanking us for choosing her as our realtor, to her advice during the process, to the very end where she kept us up to date on the process of handing over the keys to the new owners. Gretchen is kind, honest, efficient and extremely good at her job. During the process I lost a very dear friend of mine. Gretchen went out of her way to send me a personal card with a picture of my friend and I on the cover. She is a delightful human being as well as a wonderful realtor. We highly recommend her and would definitely choose her if we were to buy or sell a home in the Juneau-Douglas area again.

Gretchen was very helpful during the process of buying my first home. She was quick to point out any problems with properties I was interested in buying. When ever I had a question she was quick to provide me an answer or to find out. I worked 12 hour shift so I could not meet in person at times and she had other mediums set in place to sign documents and move the process along. Super helpful and very knowlegable.
My family and I recently bought a condo in Juneau and Gretchen was such a knowledgable, competent and awesome real estate agent. She was always two steps ahead and made our entire house hunting and buying process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a real estate agent in Juneau.
