On Monday, December 5th, Deputy Commissioner Curtis Thayer told the Legislature’s Budget & Audit Committee that the real estate license increase would only be $100. This would make the two-year license fee $375 instead of the proposed $685.With the 2,450 licensees in the State, this is a $759,500 savings, $310 per licensee.
According to Don Haberger, the Director of the Division of Corporations, Business & Professional Licensing, ”the change was based on the robust public comment on the fee increase proposal as it came out in draft stage.”
The Alaska Association of REALTORS would like to personally thank everyone who wrote letters to their Senators and Representatives and testified at the House Community and Regional Affairs Committee Meeting. Congratulations on a job well done!
Fairbanks people who came to testify at the Hearing were Dave Somers, Hank Bartos and myself.

While I wasn’t there, and it’s not important to me who said what, we do want to clarify this issue. First, there is a State of Alaska “Uniform Electronic Transaction Act” and it says that:
In our ongoing struggle against the evil Valley Board of REALTORS, we are just $5389 behind the Valley Board, and the reason is that we have 41% member participation, and they have 79% member participation. This is our last shot. If you want to invest in RPAC, and you want it to count for this year, we need your contributions now! Stay Tuned for our updated Office by Office competition as well.
