I have a rental in Boise Idaho that is infested with carpenter ants. I have been through 2 exterminators who have put stuff in my crawl space, put stuff in my walls, put stuff in the house and outside the house. My handyman found 6 nests and destroyed them and yet the keep coming back. I am a wits end. My tennant is about to move out and I don't blame her. Carpenter ants are something that must be disclosed when a house is sold and the market it terrible anyway. I can't move another tennant in until the ants are gone. I am also running out of money to deal with this problem or an empty rental. How do I get rid of these pests? Have they destroyed my house?
Well I ran for Congress and lost.
I had a bilateral mastectomy and am on the mend.
Now I need to attend to my business.
I used to be a justlisted agent with market leader. I found it sort of ok. Now they have a new product called growth leader. I am thinking about trying it out but it will cost $505 until July 1 for 60 prospects a month. These are just hits on a website. Anybody use them or chose not to. I am looking for opinions. I sort of need to do something to start prospecting again.
The Boise real estate market is doing better then most of the country. Sure houses have been sitting on the market longer than used to but we haven't had a dramatic price drop. Still we have deals here if you qualify for a mortgage. Here is a secret 90% of the people still qualify. It's only the ones with real credit issues that can't qualify. We have more foreclosures but its not like other places.
Right now the prices are soft and there are bargains to be had. I think they will rise when this mortgage mess is cleaned up. I can find a buyer a wonderful home below market value. If you want a home and qualify for the mortgage it is a great time to buy here in Boise, Idaho.
This house is priced at $199,990
This house in near Boise in Caldwell priced $175,000
This condo is $144,900
After a week of sunny sort of warmish weather it is raining.
Rain is really good since we live in an arid climate. What is even better is that I am not running an open house in the rain today!!! Today is National History Day and my son, Joshua, is completing. Therefore, I took the day off. This afternoon I will probably try to call some clients. They might even be home because it is raining. I like showing houses in the rain. You can see if they leak.
Boise is a great place to live!!! Come check us out!!!!! The Boise real estate market is picking up!!!

Hi!!! I am Debbie Holmes. I specialize in affordable housing. Just like any good agent I work the whole market. I am also running for the House of Representatives in Idaho's CD@.
Hi!!! My family arrived in the Boise area in 1991 to work for Boise State University. Since our arrival, I have been active in the community. I became a real estate agent after I purchased two investment properties. Working in real estate is very exciting. I have the opportunity to help people find the right house or to help other people sell their home for the maximum price. While I do this I sometimes even get to really make a difference in peoples lives. I help people who have gotten themselves into difficulty. Sometimes by negotiating a complicated short sale other times by getting a child seen by Shriner's hospital. My clients will find me honest, hardworking, and diligent. I will take the client from the beginning of the process to the closing table. I love my work because every day is different. Check my even newer website!!
I am running for Congress in Idaho's Second Congressional District. Check out my political website.

I specialize in first time home buyers and sellers and short sales. I can negotiate with the bank and people who hold liens on properties so a house can be sold. The more time I have to work on the problem the easier it is to arrange a successful transaction. This helps my clients since most real estate scams seem to occur with pre-foreclosure homes. People are lured by unscrupulous investors to sign over their interest in the property without the other party taking over the responsibility. Later some of these properties are foreclosed upon anyway . I can help distressed people avoid these predators. Of course, like any good agent I will work any end of the market. I will always be honest in my dealings and my opinions. Please give me a chance to help you.
