About Randy
Randy Comer has been involved in the real estate industry since 1979, becoming a licensed agent in 1991. Randy’s focus is on commercial real estate and as well as specializing in hospitality properties, hotels, lodges and change-of-use properties. He has a Master of Business Administration Management from Alaska Pacific University.
Randy moved to Anchorage, Alaska in 1984 from Reidsville, North Carolina, a small farming town —where your word and a handshake were enough to seal any deal. He met his wife Jennifer after several years in Alaska. They have a blended family and are both proud parents of six wonderful children, five sons and one daughter.
Besides the real estate industry, which Randy and Jennifer collectively have over 50 years of experience in, they also own an Airbnb business, have owned, managed, and operated over 300 hotel rooms in the state of Alaska and own real estate in several other states as well.
Randy’s work experience includes managing a Fortune 500 company and owning and operating several small businesses. During the mid-80 he worked with the local cable and telecommunications company where he created the company’s new commercial division. Hotels quickly became a major client base for them, adding to 12% of the company's revenue. Over the past 35 years Randy has created trusting and loyal business relationships with his brokerage clients.
As an active member on the Alaska Hotel & Lodging Association board for 30 years, Randy has built relationships with most hoteliers in the state; from owners and managers to housekeepers and dish washers. Randy reminds those in the business that his first industry job, at the age of 18 was as head dishwasher at the Green Park Hotel in Blowing Rock, North Carolina — where President Ford was a guest.
As Randy states “At Comer & Associates Real Estate, we broker, own and manage hotels — building loyal clients along the way” and “It’s easier to broker hotels than run them.”
When consulting, Randy quickly explains to his clients that good management is key. He once had all of his managers read the book, “Good to Great” by James C. Collins. Closing more hotel transactions in the State of Alaska (than any other broker), Randy believes a great general manager is the path to success and that relationships are key.
