About Us:

A Little About Larry & Jacque

"It's Your Dream, That Makes it Ours, Too!" Assisting folks in finding their Alaska home and property is our passion. Professional, friendly and available service with local knowledge.

Jacque was born on Elmendorf AFB and is an Air Force brat. Her pop served 23 1/2 years and was stationed all over the US and Tripoli Libya. After his retirement in 1982, the family moved to Wasilla Alaska and has been here since. Jacque also has a background as a Palmer and Wasilla police officer so she knows the back roads and neighborhoods very well. She became licensed and joined her husband Larry in real estate in 2001.

Larry is a Montana transplant and fell in love with Alaska from the minute he arrived. He understands the draw to move to this amazing state. If you need any fishing tips, he is always willing to share that advice as well! He has been licensed in real estate since 1997. Larry is well versed in negotiations and the current status of the market.

Larry and Jacque have blended their talents and experiences to serve their clients better. Both are licensed, full time Realtors that provide two unique perspectives. They work hard to make your real estate experience as painless and stress free as possible. It is their personalized approach to you that is their trademark. After all, YOU are the most important part of their business.

It is their hands on, personal approach that sets Larry and Jacque apart from other licensees. That is why so many of their clients return to them and refer their family and friends. It shows that Larry and Jacque really care. After all, who better than a married couple, a couple that knows each others strength and weaknesses, to assist you in all your real estate needs? This partnership is more than just two people sharing an office. It is a marriage of teamwork and commitment that, combined, gives exemplary service to their clients and customers.

If you are not yet committed to live in our great state or simply want to vacation here, Larry and Jacque also own and operate Suite Dreams Alaska. Suite Dreams Alaska is a perfect hotel/motel and B&B alternative that offers short term and vacation rentals in Wasilla.

Larry and Jacque started Suite Dreams Alaska vacation rentals in July of 2010 and began remodeling the cabins for vacation or short term stays. Each of the initial four cabins was given an Alaska theme and are decorated accordingly. You can choose your theme!
Alaska Dreams is a mix of all things Alaskan and has a more of a winter theme in the bedroom area.
Fisherman's Folly is, exactly that! It has a fishing theme throughout with fishing related decorations.
Moose Manor is all about the moose and there is even a rather tall chainsaw carved moose to take pics with.
Black Bear Bungalow is all decked out in red and black (like a good ole flannel) and is totally bear themed.

All cabins have very similar amenities and all are set up for the utmost in convenience and comfort. Like a home away from home, but with Alaska style, Suite Dreams Alaska vacation rental is convenient and modern. Some amenities in each cabin are comfortable furniture, pillow top mattresses, a large flat screen television, log beds (Moose has one queen, the others all have at least two queen beds), a private deck and wifi.

If you want to visit another part of the state, the Parks Highway and the Glenn Highway (our two main highways) intersect about four miles away from the cabins.

Testimonials and What Our Clients Have to Say (REAL ESTATE)

My wife Sharon and I had listed our home with other agents for over a year with no results. We were skeptical of any real-estate agents at this point when Larry's mother recommended them to us. We interviewed them and two others and were totally impressed with them.

They are amazing. They went to work for us immediately. They priced our home right on. Larry and Jacque are very professional. Larry took pictures of our home and Jacque put the pictures of our home on all the Realtors websites. When we went online to look at our home on the web, we were blown away.

The pictures showed our home beautifully, in fact, our home sold in less than two weeks from the buyer who looked at it on the web and fell in love with it. Larry and Jacque are hard working professionals, they also treat you like family. Give them a call and see for yourself.

Larry and Jacque made the process of selling the house in Wasilla a delightful experience --- especially cashing the significant check afterward!!! From the beginning I felt confident in their advice, they listed the property everywhere an electron is likely to be found with real estate data, and, as I moved out of state as the house went on the market, they managed all the details I was no longer around to take care of.

This couple knows their stuff and the real estate market. Communication was just what I needed to know, when I needed to know it. If an item needed attention that I had no previous experience with, Larry had options and was very willing to explain each in detail; leaving the final decision clearly to me (which I liked).

The day Jacque came to photograph the house, by the time she left, I felt like I was living in something from the pages of House Beautiful. She knows how to stage a home so it represents well in the market. (Don't argue; take her suggestions!)

Lastly, there was always a positive acknowledgment when someone discovered I had the house listed with Larry and Jacque --- these were comments coming back to me 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hand!! It wasnt just chemistry between the Ficek's and me. They really do know how to sell houses and provide customer service. If you are serious about selling, list with Alaska Dream Makers.

Dewey & I have worked with Larry and Jacque Ficek when we bought property and sold property. Larry & Jacque are professional, ethical and extremely patient. We have referred many of our clients, family & friends to Larry and Jacque and would not consider working with anyone else.

Larry and Jacque made my first home buying experience absolutely painless. They assisted in finding the perfect lot and the right builder. They were there every step of the way from looking for land to choosing out light fixtures. Larry gave me sound advice in making sure my house would be desirable for potential home buyers when it comes time for me to sell.

Jacque spent many hours with me going over all the details of the house that I never thought of. Things always progressed despite me working on the slope. I still call for advice on ways to improve the overall value of my home. I would recommend Larry and Jacque for anyone looking for quality service in buying or selling a home.

We have sold one house and bought two with Larry and Jacque's help. Although this can be a very stressful time, Larry and Jacque were there every step of the way, answering questions, handling issues, and being cheerleaders for us. No question was too big or too small.

Their patience and understanding, coupled with their experience and professionalism, made the process as smooth as possible. We have recommended Larry and Jacque to many friends, and their experiences have been positive, as well. If the time comes for us to sell or buy another home, there is no doubt we will be calling Alaska Dream Makers!

I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work on helping me with finding my house and getting us through the *ARGH* Bank of America in getting my house. I just wanted both of you to know my appreciation in everything you two have done for me and the great attitude that you two have. You're good people!

Mark Clifton

We're really glad that we bought this place! Thank you again for all your help getting us in it. Although we have our work cut our for us with landscaping (new construction), this coming spring, we're looking forward to it.

The whole place is very comfortable and a pleasure to come home to. We have a moose family that visits our yard occasionally, and everybody likes to watch them from the safety of our deck, or if it's too cold out, from inside. Thanks again for your note and all you have done for us.

I moved to Alaska in 2004. When I wanted to purchase a home, Larry and Jacque Ficek were recommended by a friend who had found them to be helpful... even though they were representing the "other person" in a real estate transaction!

Both Larry and Jacque were open, honest, knowledgeable and very helpful when finding homes to show me. They pointed out things that I would not have noticed on my own regarding different homes and neighborhoods.

Their professionalism made the purchase negotiations easy and quick. I have since recommended them to others and all have been very pleased by their help. I am sure anyone working with the Ficeks will have a positive experience.

Larry and Jacque have represented us in two real estate transactions. Each time their knowledge, energy and integrity have provided for a positive real estate experience. The Ficek Team lives up to their promise. We want them to represent us in any Alaskan real estate transaction.

Sincerely,

We tried selling our home by owner for almost two years without any real results. After countless showings and constantly having to rearrange our schedule to show the home, we decided to enlist the help of a professional.

We interviewed several agents, and quickly decided on Larry & Jacque Ficek. They really took the time to understand our needs and make us comfortable with the process of selling our home.

Larry’s extensive knowledge of the real estate market as well as his marketing strategies brought our home to multiple offers status in less than 5 days.

The transaction was stress free, and we sold our home for full price. We are very pleased with the personal touch Larry & Jacque provide. Even after the sale they stayed in close touch to ensure our complete satisfaction. In the end we feel as if we’ve gained a new friend.

We highly recommend the Ficeks for all of your real estate needs.

Great job Larry & Jacque.

Thank you very much, The Millers

If you are ever in the area, stop by. You are always welcome here. Thanks again so much for all your help you and Larry gave us. We always tell people if they want to find a place out here to go to you guys if they want the best.

It is a pleasure to write this letter of referral for Larry & Jacque Ficek. They made the process of finding and buying our home simple and convenient. Larry & Jacque are a highly competent, professional and enthusiastic couple and were a great help to us in all areas of the process from “house hunting” to closing.

We would highly recommend them to anyone buying, selling or building a home.

Thanks for everything,

Thank you! The Simpson Family

...everything was up front, repairs needed, safety issues addressed and how to spiff up the pace for best showing...in talking with their other clients, we found that we were not treated specially or any than any other client...ALL of us felt special and that we had their undivided attentions. When we talked, it was as if we were their only clients even though they had multiple listings and were in 10-12 hour days. What a pleasant and professional experience! the differently When putting

Skip & Gillian Henley

**Skip and Gill Henley are Jacques parents. If you have ever worked with family, it can often be more difficult than working with a non related client. We are proud of this referral and and the fact that we are still invited to family functions after dealing with the possible stress and emotions involved in selling the family home. Especially WHEN THEY ARE YOUR OWN FAMILY and it was your own family home home-this means a lot even you you are a bit biased. We love you mum and pop!

Testimonials and What Our Guests Have to Say (RENTALS)
SUITE DREAMS ALASKA, vacation & short term rentals

Jesse William Atwood, Wasilla AK
Date of Stay January 1, 2012 through Feb 15, 2012

This charming themed cabin was a perfect home away from home for our family of 4 until we were able to move into our new home in Wasilla.

The furnished cabin is new and extremely clean and comfortable, and the kitchenette made mealtime quick and budget-friendly. Wireless internet and a large flat screen t.v. with satellite were also nice to have during our extended stay.

The "Alaska Dreams" unit even had a convenient bathroom upstairs. We enjoyed the privacy of having the cabin all to ourselves, as opposed to a hotel room, yet it was more affordable than a hotel room. Also, the nice gas stove with thermostat keeps the unit quite "toasty" warm, not a bit drafty in the winter.

The owners were very friendly and extremely helpful, even giving great tourist advice.

They provided amenities down to the very detail, such as plush towels, family board games, and children's books and Alaska books on the bookshelf. Finally, the unit has easy access (about a mile) to the Parks Highway, Walmart, and the new movie theater in Wasilla, yet enjoys a rural front door view, with moose as the frequent neighbors. We really enjoyed our stay here!!

This charming cabin exceeded my expectations of atmosphere,
location and comfort. We loved the bear theme. We especially loved the views
and feeling of being out in the woods and comfortable beds.It was very well
stocked so we made it our home after one visit for food provisions at the nearby
Wal-Mart, Carrs and Target. Anyone wanting to experience living and touring
around Wasilla, Anchorage, Whittier and other nearby areas should treat
themselves to this. Thank goodness it’s a no smoking cabin so it smelled clean
and fresh. Jackie and Larry are also very helpful giving you ideas for fun.

If you’re looking for all the conveniences of home but peace,
quiet and tranquility then this is it. We so enjoyed staying for the long Labor
Day weekend and being able to have a warm, comfortable and relaxing place to
stay after visiting the state fair. Everything mentioned and shown in the
listing was accurate and so conveniently located to everything in the
Wasilla/Palmer area. So very clean and nicely prepared and decorated. We have
already began spreading the word and are planning our next trip back. Why pay
outrageous hotel/motel prices when you can have a wonderful place to stay like
this. While staying there you’ll have to either dine or order delivery from
Evangelo’s…they have AMAZING pizza. And how can you go wrong with staying
here when Walmart and the movie theater is just 2 minutes away!!!
Thanks again Larry & Jacque!

Great place to stay!

We stayed in September 2011 long weekend and this house exceeded
all expectations! ! My 7 years daughter enjoyed the house most. It was a
fabulous house, fully furnished, spacious and very private. The house was very
clean, well equipped, well decorated, We loved Homer and will be back again and
hope to stay in this house because it was a large part of what made this such a
wonderful vacation. This house is like your own private resort. Excellent
customer service as well.

Stayed here a month while working on a project. The cabin is
well stocked and comfortable, and the owners are good people. The location is
close to everything in Wasilla without being too central. All the appliances
are in good shape, and the only technical difficulties were with the Internet
connection, which was resolved by the time of my departure. I would
recommend the Alaska Dreams Cabin as a good place for an extended stay in the
Wasilla area.

Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car.
