Alpine Real Estate is 100% local, founded by REALTORS® who grew up here, live here, and care deeply about the community. It all started at the New York Cafe in downtown Ketchikan. Over lunch, two locals decided to create a different kind of real estate agency: One that is modern, honest, and genuinely favors its clients.
Years later, Alpine is that agency, deeply invested in helping you and our town grow.
