Gary the owner is absolute trash! He came into our home we are trying to refinance asking us what we intended to do with the appraisal he said and I quote "don't tell the bank I'm asking these questions because I just like to help people." Gary had no intention on helping us at all. Gary also mentioned a 1200 square foot house on the corner of our street that was not remodeled that just had sold for 380k. He also mentioned he could give us between 375k and 450k just depended on his opinion. It also took over a week for him to submit his appraisal. He literally based his appraisal off our home zestimate (Zillow) report which is as trash as he is as we have remodeled the home from top to bottom. Including a new hvac, roof, electrical panel, as well as new flooring, a complete kitchen remodel, all bathrooms updated, new led lighting (including under cabinet lighting) and new exterior/interior doors. Gary did not even ask to see where our hvac system was, or furnace, or our water heater, or where our washer and dryer was located. Gary failed our first appraisal due to the outside paint of our 1973 built home having exposed wood. My husband and I expressed to Gary that we were going to eventually side the whole house which is why the house paint job looked the age of the home. Gary appraised our home for 402k the zestimate(Zillow) report appraisal is 391k! The kitchen cabinets alone were over 10k. Our home could easily sell for over a half million dollars it has no HOA and is over 2000 square feet on a quarter acre lot in central Boise, 4 beds 2.5 baths. Gary is awful so is his work ethic. If you are working with a lender who uses Gary as an appraiser or his company please RUN. Do not allow him into your home. read more

I am so pleased to recommend Tim and give him the highest…read morepossible rating. 5 stars is not enough. This is no fluff review-so here is the red meat. I have known Tim for a number of years. I did not know he would be selling me a home. I have known him as such a man of integrity for so long, that it was a "no brainer" that when I was in the market for a home-he would be my go-to guy. But let me cut past the personal niceties and give it to you straight: Everybody wants to be a realtor in Boise as of late. I know 21 year old kids who have not given a nod to a work ethic that are getting their license. Everybody wants to cash in on the Boise/Idaho pie. Tim has lived here for several decades, and has been in the business for decades as well. He is established and secure. He does not need to score a big check. He is driven to serve others. And he gets a kick out of going the extra mile to treat your interests as though they are his own....because they are. You want someone who has been around and knows all the best of the best in their respective professions, whether it be title, loan and finance, HVAC, plumbers, electricians, builders etc. etc. The people who have roots here, and repeatedly demonstrate tried and tested ethics and professionalism connect with people like Tim for a reason-they like to sleep at night with a clear conscious. Go with experience. Stay away from the anxious trying to get in on a cash cow. You won't feel pressured by Tim. You will feel taken care of, comfortable, and get a taste of a bygone ethic.

Tim worked tirelessly to help our family transition from Southern California to Boise. We requested…read morehelp finding a home, and he found our dream home in Star (our dream spot) within our budget! He answered every question and helped my wife and kids become comfortable with the thought of leaving family and friends to move here. His knowledge of this area and all of the builders is unmatched and he should be the 1st person you contact if considering to buy a home in the Boise area.

Three weeks later I called to check status and was promised it'd be ready mid-week the following week. Stopped by to pick up my ring at the four week date. Was not greeted upon entering and was ignored until he finished with a potential jewelry sale. When I went to the counter. It wasn't ready. Hadn't even been touched. I was handed my ring, loose, not even a small ziplock bag to hold it and then dismissed. When I told Jacob that I had a problem that my ring wasn't re-sized he pulled out the policy about four weeks. I told him this is week four. He then told me he has been so busy, since Christmas, that he hasn't had time to do any jewelry repair work. No apology. Just dumping it back on the customer (me). I do NOT recommend this jewelry store.
