Hi, I’m Kim Goggia-Gomez, a licensed Realtor in Alaska. I am part of TK Real Estate with Tiffany Clyde at Century 21 Realty Solutions in Soldotna. We’ve teamed up to work twice as hard for you, and between us have over 15 years’ experience in real estate. While I love being a Realtor, I also enjoy designing, renovating and flipping homes. I serve on the Kenai Peninsula Builders Association, sponsor local sport teams, and volunteer on our community outreach program to help those in need. I grew up in a large family and my dad was always on the go. He instilled in me the importance of integrity, good communication and great work ethic. Whether it’s your starter home, dream home, vacation cabin or just a lot… Tiffany and I strive to make buying and selling real estate on the Kenai Peninsula an enjoyable experience for all.

David Bunts Owner of Sterling Custom Homes, Inc started building on the Kenai Peninsula in 1983. Specializing in working with clients to design and then build their new home. I was fortunate to have some crew members for over 20 years. 2022 was a pivoting year for Sterling Custom Homes with some crew retiring and others moving on to other things. There is a huge need for workers in the building industry. I now do excavation and landscaping jobs in the summer and help new home buyers plan and design their new home in the winter months. I joined the KPBA in 2018 and wish I had joined earlier. Kenai Peninsula Builders Association, Alaska State Home Builders Association, and National Association of Home Builders work hard to support the building industry and I wish I had joined sooner to be a part of that. KPBA does a lot to give back to the communities we work in. Our November member meeting is a fund raiser to give back to those in need or organizations that help those in need. KPBA is a great organization and I am happy to serve on the board.

DIRECTOR

Phone: 907-261-6228

I am a life-long Alaskan. My grandparents on both sides moved their families to the Peninsula (Kenai/Soldotna and Moose Pass) in the late 1950s. My family moved back to Kenai from Anchorage in 1982, I graduated from KCHS, and I fished commercially through high school and college. I am married with four children.

I began my banking career with a local bank in Kenai after earning my degree in International Business Administration. The bank moved me to Homer to take over their branch there in 1995. After 15 years in banking, I moved out of the banking sector for ten years. In March of 2018, I accepted the exciting opportunity to play a role in establishing Northrim Bank’s first presence here in my home on the Kenai Peninsula. I believe that Northrim’s focus on serving its customers and community will be a wonderful match on the Kenai.

I joined the KPBA board recently and I look forward to serving the organization and our community. I have been impressed with the KPBA’s level of focus in both giving back to our community, and in representing this integral industry on the Peninsula. Though I do not have direct construction experience, I do have extensive construction lending experience which I am hopeful will be useful to the organization.
