My house was listed and sold through Caldwell Banker Tomlinson Group. A very nice group of people to work with. My agent hustled to get the house listed, told me everything I wanted to hear, and got the house on the MLS. They actively marketed the home for about 2 months, then fizzled out a bit while it sat on the Intermountain MLS for a while with few showings. The overall experience wasn't terrible, but I've experienced much better. The listing sold after about 6 months, and I closed within acceptable range of my listing price. I am either too high maintenance, or expect too much from my listing agent. This wasn't a typical 150K treasure valley home - it was 3 times that in fact - so I accept that it took longer market time. I only wish the enthusiasm that existed when getting the contract from me to list the property was sustained throughout the entire transaction. Would I use them again? Yes, but only for smaller and cheaper investment properties, not my primary residence. read more

Rich Smith was a pleasure to work with and very much what I would consider a team player. He is a positive person and supported Brighton's processes and schedules. Rich was quick to respond to emails, even if it was just a reply thanking us for the message. He participated in meetings and walk-throughs and was extremely professional and polite through-out the entire process. Rich has a good understanding of new construction. His construction questions were clear and backed up with pictures, if needed. He understood and accepted our responses, and followed up to make sure the work had been completed as requested. I highly recommend Rich to anyone considering building a new home. Lars Hansen, President - Brighton Homes read more

I first reality experience with Amanda Alvaro back in 2002. I had such a friendly, professional, educational and FUN experience with Amanda that I literally started recommending her to co-workers, friends, family, etc. Every single person went to her when they needed answers or a quote or help selling or buying ...and every single person called me and thanked me for introducing them to Amanda. She's really that good. I never knew I could actually relax and have fun selling or buying a home. Everything, and I mean everything, was taken care of for me. She updated me keeping me in the loop. There needs to be more stars because 5 is not enough for this kind of service, excellence and experience. Cheers! Meghan read more

We were so amazingly blessed to work with Tempe McFarlane with Coldwell Banker when we decided to purchase our first home. She was incredibly patient with us as we had to work within a very limited budget. But even with those limitations she listened to everything we said and worked very hard to help us find our dream home. And since it was a first home for both my husband and me it was a scary process at times. But as I said she was very patient. We have recommended family and friends to contact her whenever anyone has mentioned they were thinking of moving. She has great knowledge and a wonderful heart with the desire to help you find what you want. read more

I have used Leah Morgan 4 times now to buy or sell. I have referred her to many others who have all also become her clients. Leah is very knowledgeable and very good at the negotiating process for offers. She also is very caring about the each person's individual needs and desires and works hard to find the right house when buying, or to accommodate unique situations when selling. She has never tried to push me into anything just to make a sale. She is the right balance between business, closing the deal and getting the right price, and being personal enough to care about the individual. read more

A bit of serendipity, I think, brought Doug Flanders to us when we wanted to purchase a new home in Boise. His professionalism, combined with an air of casualness allowed me to be comfortable working with Doug from the very beginning.

What can be a very stressful event turned out to be a very nice adventure. I look forward to working with Doug in the future and would recommend him without any hesitation to a new client! Thanks Doug! read more

We are moving from Arizona to Emmett. Three months ago, we had never heard of Emmett and had no real plans to leave Arizona. However, several circumstances converged to have our path cross with Tempe McFarlane. To sum up, her description of, and her fondness of Emmett, convinced us to look there. She showed us the home that we will soon move into, and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend Tempe! read more
