In the very first episode of the Alaska Real Estate Podcast, you’ll get to know one of our amazing hosts, Connie Yoshimura. She shares her journey into real estate and why she chose to build her career in Alaska.

Connie’s Journey: Finding Home and Real Estate in Alaska

·  Connie’s story begins with her move to Alaska and her first steps into the real estate world—solo. 

·  Originally a creative writer and aspiring poet, she discovered a talent for real estate sales after working in hospitality. 

·  Her communication and writing skills became her secret weapons, helping her connect with clients through open houses and newspaper articles, and quickly build a reputation in the community.

Selling with Heart: Lessons from Life and Dale Carnegie

·  Connie’s approach to sales is all about understanding people. 

·  Inspired by Dale Carnegie, she emphasizes the importance of listening to clients, addressing their concerns, and recognizing the emotional side of buying a home. 

·  She also recommends that anyone in sales or real estate should consider reading Dale Carnegie's book,

“How to Win Friends and Influence People.” 

·  Every sale, she notes, carries a story—often tied to life’s major milestones and changes.

The Art of Development and Community Pride

·  Beyond individual sales, Connie loves the bigger picture of real estate development.

·  From designing subdivisions that blend seamlessly with Alaska’s landscapes to watching families move into brand-new homes she helped create, she finds deep satisfaction in shaping communities that stand the test of time.

Looking Ahead

·  This is just the beginning, and we invite you to follow along as we explore the unique opportunities and challenges of Alaska’s real estate market.

"I share your belief that Alaska is probably the best place in the United States—if not the world—to be. Here, you can go after whatever you’re brave enough to try. And you know what? We’re going to do it." - Connie Yoshimura.
