The Alaska REALTORS® is committed to the health and safety of the general public, its members, and its partner Affiliates. In the spirit of safety and honoring individual choice, the Alaska REALTORS® voted to make the 2021 Homer Convention scheduled for September 28 – October 2, 2021, a hybrid event.

Getting Results and Referrals through Quality Relationships in a Tough Market. Cultivating quality relationships is a critical life skill that influences our degree of professional success. The best communications inspire and motivate people; this focused course will take communications to a higher level. Throughout the years, we have compiled data and feedback from HomeChoice™ participants who have shared their real-life experiences in their personal real estate transactions.

This course will give real-life overviews of common consumer experiences in today’s market from a client’s perspective from data derived from class polls and feedback. The course provides ways to develop the knowledge, skills, and ability that deepen business and personal relationships, which helps clients complete the transaction and feel satisfied with the process to generate more leads and referrals.

HomeChoice™ has been Alaska’s go-to homebuyer education class since 1994. Instructor Maria Celli and Maude Morse are certified mortgage and real estate instructors who deliver education as well as a corporate resource that connects Alaskans to AHFC’s certified courses, services, and programs. Maria and Maude have presented at numerous workshops, forums, conventions, and brokerages.

Making mortgages accessible to Alaskans has been at the core of Alaska Housing. Over the years, the responsibilities of AHFC have expanded to include affordable housing programs, energy efficiency, senior housing, and more. A self-supporting public corporation with offices in 16 communities statewide and has contributed over 2 billion to the state in the form of direct dividends for the general fund since FY21.
