Houses For Rent In Palmer and Wasilla November 24th, 2010
Way back in October 2007 I wrote about rentals in Palmer and Wasilla on my other blog, valleymarket.com. I think it’s time for an update. It is common for me to get calls asking if I handle rentals…I don’t.
Here are my tips for finding a rental in the area:
1. Check with the local property managers.
Here are three…
Charlene Moss, she handles the most rentals, 373-8161
Traci Brewington at Prudential, 376-2414
Dawn Houston at Double Eagle, 357-1770
2. Check craigslist, you will find almost all the owner rentals on craigslist.
If you need to buy or sell in Palmer and Wasilla, I can help you with that. Drop me a line by clicking on the contact button or give me a call at
(907) 232-7900.
Or, if you would rather do your own search on the MLS, just go my search page.

2010 Summer Youth Band June 24th, 2010
This morning I drove into the Palmer Post Office parking lot and was pleased to discover a live concert by the Palmer Summer Youth Band.
The band is sponsored by the Palmer Arts Council and meets for weekly rehearsals throughout the summer. Middle and high school youth from Valley schools are under the direction of Matt Swalling, the music director at Palmer Junior Middle School.
The students played exceptionally well and I thoroughly enjoyed the music. I was told they are playing the next two Fridays at the downtown Friday Fling. Come out and listen!
