WASILLA, Alaska, April 2024 – PLACE, the real estate industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Kibe and Karla Lucas and The Kibe Lucas Team are now powered by PLACE.

This approach has led to the creation of a team that not only excels in real estate transactions but also actively contributes to improving the lives of those in their community. A significant highlight of Kibe’s community involvement is his receipt of the 2021 Good Neighbor Award from the National Association of Realtors®, honoring his extensive volunteer work and dedication to making a positive impact. He was voted by his peers Realtor of the Year in 2001.

The decision to partner with PLACE stems from a desire to leverage PLACE’s comprehensive support system, including technology, marketing, and business services, to facilitate growth and ensure a legacy of excellence.

PLACE’s systems, models, and training don’t just focus on sales skills, they reach beyond that into both business leadership and personal development. Kibe said, “This partnership will provide us with the tools and support necessary as our son takes a more significant leadership role in the company.”
