Paul Oehlerts's Profile

I am not your typical Realtor®. Before real estate, I spent 8 years in the United States Marine Corps as an Arabic linguist in the intelligence community, including three years working at the NSA. I later transitioned into the United States Air Force special warfare community as a TACP certified JTAC and completed multiple combat deployments to the Middle East. That career ingrained discipline, integrity, and clear communication into everything I do, and I carry those same standards into every client relationship.

I got into real estate because I know what it is like to be on the other side of a deal and feel lost. When I was in the military, I once signed a contract I did not fully understand because the listing agent failed to explain it. I paid the price for that mistake. I made myself a promise that none of my clients would ever be put in that position. That is why I am committed to walking you through every step, explaining every document in plain language, and making sure you understand exactly what you are signing.

My focus is on veterans, military families, first time home buyers, and investors who want an agent they can trust. One of my proudest moments was helping a Green Beret who had completely lost faith in real estate agents. When he learned I was a JTAC, he told me he trusted me. I ended up not just selling his home but standing beside him during one of the hardest times in his personal life. For me, this work is about service, relationships, and trust as much as it is about real estate.

Outside of real estate, I am a Christian, a husband, and a father who loves the Alaska outdoors. If I am not with clients, I am probably fishing, hunting, riding, or hiking. I am deeply connected to my community, from playing hockey with other veterans to mowing lawns and cutting wood for elderly neighbors and past clients.

As you can see in my reviews and testimonials on Realtor dot com, people notice that I go above and beyond, that I am honest, and that I actually answer my phone. I am now one of the top real estate agents in the Mat Su Valley, finishing 2025 with over 40 homes closed. I am an expert licensed Realtor in the Wasilla and Palmer areas, and the majority of my transactions are VA home loans and veteran related moves. I also do a significant amount of work in Anchorage, with most of my focus on Wasilla and Palmer.

If you want someone who understands both military life and the local Alaska market and who will protect your interests as seriously as you do, that is who I am and how I work.
