Welcome to ”What’s Next? Navigating Life and Legacy in Alaska,” a podcast designed to help you prepare your family for the future, even when you’re not sure where to begin. Hosted by Liz Smith, an estate planning attorney in Juneau, this podcast offers much more than discussions about who gets what and when. Liz engages in pleasant and practical conversations with industry leaders and community practitioners, exploring questions like: - What is a trust? - What happens if something happens to you? - Do you need a will or estate plan? With the guiding principle of ”Live, Laugh, Leave a Legacy,” we’ll investigate building and leaving your legacy, supporting aging loved ones and parents, and the resources available to assist you. We’ll also delve into topics around birth (including special considerations for new parents), aging, and death that affect us all. Whether you’re feeling uncertain about how to prepare your family for when you’re gone or you’re interested in learning more about life transitions in Alaska, this podcast is here to help. Listen wherever you get your podcasts (you can also find the player at the bottom of the screen on our website). Please subscribe to help more people find us, and we’d love your feedback and ideas for future guests!

Welcome! My name is Heather Skaggs and I am proud to be a Realtor with RE/MAX of Juneau. I’ve called Juneau home for over 35 years and I truly love the beauty of this community.
As a Realtor, I completely respect and value the trust that my clients place in me and I strive every day to exceed their expectations. My clients can count on me to make the process of buying or selling a home as stress-free as possible. I take great pride in being honest, dependable, and trustworthy.
As a Juneauite, I love the beauty that Alaska offers us and I’m proud to call Juneau my home. I value shopping locally, supporting small businesses, and participating in community events.
When you choose to work with me I will dedicate my time, attention, and expertise to every aspect of your home sale or purchase.

Learn more about the roles and benefits of a real estate agent in the home buying process, how to hire the right agent, and how Heather saves her clients money in a legal and responsible way.
Quotes:
- “My job is to keep as much of my client's money in their pockets as I possibly can. There are several opportunities for negotiation throughout a real estate transaction, and I do my best to make sure that you get what you want without overpaying whenever possible.” (03:55-04:27)
- “Just like most professions in life, I think the real benefit comes from the experience and seeing how things play out over and over and over again. That is the most beneficial education, right? Because sometimes it goes really bad. And sometimes there's something that you could have done about it, and sometimes there's not. But you know, it doesn't always go well and that's not something you learn in a book.” (08:30-09:16)
- “It's a very personal decision. So my suggestion is that you need to find someone that you have fairly simple communication with.” (17:18-17:29)
- “I think that you probably get the most honest feedback from people that have already used a realtor.” (18:24-18:37)
