About Us
Our Values
At Summit Legacy Properties, our mission is to serve Alaskans with honesty, compassion, and practical solutions in real estate. We understand that every property tells a story, and we’re here to help people move forward—whether they’re facing unexpected hardship or simply ready for a new chapter.
We’re more than investors—we’re neighbors. With deep roots in the community, we approach every situation with care, aiming to create outcomes that benefit both our clients and the neighborhoods we call home.


HI, I’m Laura Rees Smith
founder of Summit Legacy Properties, wife, mom, and lifelong Alaskan. I started this company with one goal: to help people in my community navigate life’s real estate challenges with compassion, clarity, and real solutions. Whether someone is facing foreclosure, managing an inherited home, or just feeling overwhelmed, I believe everyone deserves a partner they can trust.
Problem-solving is at the heart of what I do, but my deepest motivation is community. I care about the people behind every property, and I’m committed to making sure each client feels supported, respected, and heard—every step of the way.
