Finding The Right Agent: Know You, Like You, Trust You - Aug 05 02:29 PM
How do people select agents? I've been thinking a lot about this. At the core of how I conduct business is saying that it's not about us it's about you and that you're the focus. It's just who we are and how we operate in this real estate industry. We actively listen to our clients and we don't try to push unwanted properties, higher priced homes or take a listing that might hurt our client instead ...

Top Ten Archaic Real Estate Practices - Aug 22 09:55 AM
The real estate profession clings to many outdated business practices, but here's my nomination for the Top Ten Archaic Real Estate Practices:
10)   Office tour9)     MLS tour8)     Itty-bitty print ads that say “Hurry, this one won’t last!”7)     Black and white marketing materials6)     Full graphics on an agent’s Hummer, proclaiming that they’re #1 5)     Bus bench ads4)     Grocery store shopping cart ads3)     Delivering pumpkins to your neighborhood at Thanksgiving2)     Including ...

Boise Idaho ranked 2nd best by Forbes Magazine! - Mar 20 02:35 PM
Stop all the presses!  There isn't supposed to be any strong economies out there according to all the negative press.  Foreclosures here, short sales there, jobless claims everywhere.  "The Sky is Falling"!   One cannot turn on the radio or T.V. or read anything published without being reminded about how bad things are. 
Forbes Magazine has just named Boise Idaho "The 2nd Best Place For Busines And Careers" in their rankings just realeased. Cities were ranked according to ...

Boise Idaho Pro - Oct 08 10:10 PM
Paraphrased from Wikipedia:
Who knows if this is fact or fiction but the tale goes that a French guide that was with the Lewis & Clark expedition, after trekking for weeks through rough terrain, came upon the sight of the Boise River Valley and yelled "Les Bois! Les Bois" and that is how Boise got its name.  In the 1820's what is now Boise was an area where French fur trappers set traps.  Most of the area ...

Pick a winner..........UW vs. BSU - Sep 01 05:10 PM
Vs.
My mom is from the Boise area of Idaho. Caldwell Idaho to be exact, but to pretty much everyone else in the world, it's Boise Idaho. (and by the way, do not pronounce it with a Z sound like BoyZee.....oh no, not down there, it's BoySee. I'm only two months old and not even I can get away with it.)
Well in my Mom's senior year of high school, her Mom and Dad (my grandparents) ...

Boise Idaho >> Ranked 4th best city in 2008 by Kiplinger - May 30 09:38 AM
Boise Idaho recognized as 4th best in 2008

Something takes place every year like clockwork.  What I am referring to is Boise Idaho.  Yes, every year some national publication or organization writes something wonderful about the little city of Boise Idaho tucked away at the base of beautiful majestic mountains with the Boise River running through the heart of the city.
Amy Bicker from the Kiplinger news letter visited Idaho and came away amazed. Amy ...

Its raining in Boise Idaho and Im not in an open house today!!!!!!!!! - Mar 01 09:35 AM
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 ...

How NOT To Buy A Home In Boise, Idaho - Sep 29 08:04 PM
Recent statistics indicate that 80% of all home buyers use the internet to find their next home.
I recently had an experience with a prospective buyer that taught me much about the role of the internet in buying a home in Boise.
This buyer was from Southern California, had a lot of free time, and thought the internet was her best friend when it came to figuring out the Boise, Idaho real estate ...

I am learning a lot here..... - Jan 27 09:09 AM
A few days I started this blog.   After reading lots of other blogs I am learning a lot.  I have new ideas for open houses and have other peoples opinions on many aspects of  our trade.  I even have new ideas on short sales (something I seem to work in this year).  Today I learned how to add links and pictures.   This is a fun format.  I fear I could spend so much time here that ...

Those who do not learn from history ... - Apr 07 03:42 PM
 
All too often people forget that the health of the real estate market is a matter of perspective.  Someone who purchased a home at the peak of the market a couple years ago would think the market is terrible right now while someone who purchased a home 30 years ago can't believe their home has appreciated so much!  If your home appreciated in value by 200% then backslides by 10%, you still made 190%!

It's time to buy in Idaho - Jan 10 08:30 PM
Attention all buyers for the Boise market.   Don't wait any longer or you might miss the boat.  It's the top of the buyers market right now.  I've know of builders who need to sell NOW or loose it to the bank.  I know many builders who are selling at or below cost just to get out of homes that have been sitting on the market for more than 8 or 9 months in many cases.  Home ...

June Ada County Home Sales - Jul 02 03:47 PM
Now that summer is under way, and we've all had a chance to watch home sales another month, we have a little better idea of where the market is here in Ada County.  In a word, it has been "underwhelming".  Single family home sales for June are looking to finish at 764 units, comparing to 738 in May.  That is a less than normal increase over the May number, and quite a bit less than last ...

Ada County Home Sales For April - May 05 12:33 PM
The most frequently asked question right now is "Are any houses selling?"  Some folks seem surprised when I tell them, yes, homes are selling in the Treasure Valley right now.  Definitely not on the same pace as two summers ago, but better than we saw over the winter.  In fact, the 460 homes that sold in Ada County in April is the best showing we've had since August last year, when the mortgage lending problem happened.  ...

Ada County Home Sales For May - Jun 17 04:59 PM
Home sales in Ada County during May showed a modest improvement over April's numbers, with 504 single family homes closed for the month.  While that doesn't seem like much, the monthly increases are showing a normal trend for this time of year.  We have a market that is acting normally, albeit at lower levels than we are used to seeing.  Last year we had 735 homes sold, so our sales as of May  this year are ...

Neel house finally closed - Feb 19 09:04 PM
It happened.  At least we signed.  The house that was supposed to close on January 30 finally closed today.  My seller disappeared the second I got the time from title.  I found her 20 minutes before closing.  When we got there she told me she forgot to pick up her husband.  It is supposed to fund tomorrow.  This has been very aggravating and we have 9 addendum's on the contract due to the delay in funding.  ...

Ada County Home Sales in January - Feb 04 06:08 PM
As beautiful as it is, the snow has definitely added to the chill on the Treasure Valley real estate market this January.  Only 302 Single Family homes sold in all of Ada county during the month, down from 464 a year ago.  The Valley as a whole saw only 434.  There is just no way to spin that into good news, especially if you are a seller.  Inventory has stopped decreasing as well.  There were 3898 ...
