Meet The Team
CHRIS DRUESEDOW – TEAM LEADER
(907) 598-4663
I grew up here on the Kenai Peninsula enjoying everything it had to offer. I graduated from Nikiski High School in 1994 and with great tradition in my family I joined the Navy. I served in the Navy from 1994 to 2010 and lived in some great places including Hawaii, San Diego, and Seattle. I was even more lucky to travel to about 20 different countries here in the Pacific. A truly amazing time to not only serve my country but see the world.
However in all my travels nothing has to offer what the Kenai Peninsula does and so I came home to be close to family and friends and start my second career in real estate. I enjoy many activities in my spare time and helping out in the local community.
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional – integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a Kenai Peninsula real estate professional, I’ve also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This “client first” philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I’ve found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I’ve always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They’ve also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
So when you decide that you’d like to buy or sell a home in the Kenai and Soldotna area, please please don’t hesitate to call or email with any questions how I can assist you in all your real estate needs.

JULIE SEMMENS - BUYERS SPECIALIST

Julie Semmens ventured up to Alaska as an intrigued college student on spring break 10 years ago, and fell in love twice. First, with the state of Alaska, and shortly after with an Alaskan. Julie is a private pilot, and understands there is no better place than the air to appreciate Alaska’s beauty, and no better way of transportation to enjoy what Alaska has to offer. She earned her degree in Aviation Management from UAA in 2006, and shortly after, developed a passion for real estate. Julie and her husband have owned and managed their own investment property for 5 1/2 years. Julie knows how to put in the time and effort needed to provide real estate services for buyers based on integrity, respect and excellence. She looks forward to meeting you soon!
