Your Real Estate Appraiser

Wayne Valentic earned a degree In Renewable Natural Resources from the College of Agriculture at the University of Nevada-Reno.

After graduation he moved to Alaska where he began his twenty-five year career in the timber industry. His career began as a timber cruiser, valuing standing timber for a large pulp mill in Sitka. After the mill closed down he went to work for one of the large native owned companies in Ketchikan. For fifteen years, he served as the Chief Logging Engineer planning and managing the development on +/-300,000 acres of company owned forest land. As a timber cruiser and logging engineer he worked in the wilderness far ahead of the construction or logging crews.

After a severe knee injury limited his ability to work in the rugged back country of Alaska, his next career began as a real estate appraiser.
