This series of blog entries features the various seasons in and around Sandpoint, Idaho. Sandpoint, North Idaho, Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort, and Lake Pend Oreille have been featured in the national news repeatedly over the last several years. Autumn of 2011 found Sandpoint, Idaho being voted America's Most Beautiful Small Town by Rand McNally, and in the winter of 2011/2012 Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort was named the Best Ski Resort of the Season byUSA Today/Rand McNally.
Real Estate in Sandpoint has been on the rise approximately 7% a year for three years, much in part due to the decrease in pricing. That being said, I have had some success in the area of waterfront sales in Sandpoint finding great values for my clients.
I am Gary Lirette, REALTOR® for Tomlinson Sotheby's International Realty in Sandpoint and Coeur d'Alene. I am also the host of the North Idaho Business radio show and the North Idaho Arts & Adventure radio show broadcast on the North Idaho Talk Radio Network. Locally, we are heard on KSPT 1400 AM in Bonner and Kootenai counties and KBFI 1450 AM in Boundary County and Canada.
These pictures are part of my hobbies of hiking, climbing, and biking. My pictures were featured prominently in this year's Sandpoint Visitor's Guide, and I have contributed pictures to all area Chambers of Commerce. This particular series features the Torchlight Parade and Fireworks that happened at Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort, January 14th, 2012.
When you are looking for a REALTOR®, you should want a local business owner and someone who is very connected to the community. Few here have interviewed over 1,200 business leaders, characters, charities, politicos, etc. My experience with the hidden gems of North Idaho, as well as intricate knowledge of this slice of paradise makes me your logical choice.
I hope you enjoy the pictures in this series.

This follows being named one of the Nation's Five Best Towns and America's Most Beautiful Small Town by Rand McNally in July as reported by ABC. Plus, just last month, Sandpoint was named to the Best Old House Neighborhoods 2012: Small Towns. Not a bad place to be.

342 W. Shingle Mill Rd., Sandpoint, Idaho (MLS#20120444)

My new listing at 342 W. Shingle Mill Rd (MLS#20120444) comes complete with a family of moose. While out taking pictures on a sunny day, I asked the owner what kind of wildlife they see on their 20 acres. Before long, I got a close-up of Mrs. Moose looking out toward the driveway. No extra charge for you home-buyers out there!
"Of all the wonders of nature, a tree in summer is perhaps the most remarkable; with the possible exception of a moose..." -Woody Allen
