"Denzel was AMAZING for me and my wife to work with."
"As a first time home buyer Denzle said he would explain everything for me so I was comfortable and knew what I needed to do as well as how the process worked.... and he ment it!!! I probably asked the same questions 100 times and he answered them all for meA Their dedication to us was also above and beyond! Originally we were going to move to Alaska from Texas in February of 2024, but life happened and we were delayed by a year. Denzle and his team stayed with us the ENTIRE time! A year of getting to know my realtor and having them help us get a pre-approval, showing us trends and listings ect. They've been absolutely AMAZING! Even after finding and buying our home they've reached out to make sure were finding fuel, things to do, they have been our guide to this new area! They truly care about their clients and it shows!!! I would have never expected to have my realtor stay with me a year like this! I can't recommend Denzel enough!!!"

"I highly recommend these two professionals to anyone."
"This purchasing experience was not the first time we’ve used Walden Home Group with Ariel our realtor. Fairbanks has limited senior condos and as such it’s quite difficult to find suitable housing. Ariel was instrumental in “being in the right place at the right time” for this sale for us. Melissa was great in keeping us appraised of the process and getting questions answered. The purchase was seamless, and I highly recommend these two professionals to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Fairbanks Area."

"Our experience from beginning to end was smooth."
"While the wait was long due to our contingency offer Melissa and Denzel kept us informed throughout the entire process. Melissa was a huge help in keeping me up to date with the everything. I told her in the beginning I was gonna be a pain in her butt. She never wavered. Thx so much Melissa."

"If we were to buy or sell a home again in Alaska, we know who to call."
"Ariel, Gary, and Melissa did an outstanding job with the sale of our home, going above and beyond to make sure everything was handled while we moved to the lower 48! Our family of five was able to focus on the important personal issues while the team handled everything. Ariel’s expertise and professionalism ensured we got the best offer possible, and Melissa’s constant communication and updates was greatly appreciated throughout the process."

"Highly recommend working with them!"
"We’ve worked with a few realtors in Fairbanks & Ariel and Gary never fail us with our real estate needs. We recently sold our home - got an offer after being on the market for only a few weeks, at asking price and all thanks to suggestions that Ariel made along the way and her negotiation skills. We decided to leave the state a little early prior to closing & Ariel also made sure to take care of anything that needed to be done after we departed ensuring that closing was still a smooth process even from the lower 48. Melissa, the transaction coordinator, was also amazing to work with. She called us with every update and kept us informed throughout."

They truly showed the love and compassion they have for doing their job and helping out with everything to the end. I could never thank any of them enough. Thank you all so very much."

"We highly, highly recommend them!"
"Before we met Austin Bonwell, the process of trying to buy a home felt incredibly overwhelming for our family. We were excited but nervous, and honestly had no idea where to start.
All of that changed when we began working with Austin Bonwell and the Walden Home Group — everything suddenly felt clear, manageable, and even enjoyable.
From day one, Austin was exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely kind. He guided us through every step of the process, from helping us connect with the right lender to explaining even the smallest details so we always felt confident and informed.
What meant the most was how much he cared. He didn’t just help us buy a house — he helped us find a home. Our kids absolutely adored Austin, and he always made them feel included and valued during showings and meetings. That level of warmth and sincerity is rare, and we are so grateful for it.
We cannot thank Austin Bonwell and the entire Walden Home Group team enough for their dedication, professionalism, and support. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond, look no further."
