Moving to the Treasure Valley?

Thirty minutes. We cover where you're moving from, your timeline, your price range, and what your daily life needs to look like here. I ask more than I talk. You leave with two or three cities to focus on and a straight answer about what your budget buys in each one.

Eighteen months out is the right time. The people who call me a month before they want to move are the ones who end up rushed into the wrong part of the valley. Early calls are shorter and they save you the most money.

No. I tell people the valley is wrong for them several times a month, usually over commute reality or what their budget buys compared to what they pictured. A thirty-minute call that ends in "don't move here yet" is a good outcome for both of us.

Nothing. The call, your home buying plan, and the tour planning are free. If you buy a home with me, the commission is typically covered by the seller or builder. Whatever the arrangement, it is spelled out in a written agreement before we tour anything.

That's most of my business. I moved here from San Diego myself, so I've run the version of this you're running now. Video tours, neighborhood drive-throughs, and a scouting trip built around your list are all standard.

Renting for six to twelve months before you buy is a smart play in a valley this varied. I'll tell you which areas to rent in so you're test-driving the neighborhoods you're actually considering, and I'll check back in when you're ready.

That's what the call and your plan sort out. Eagle, Star, Meridian, Boise, Kuna, Nampa, and Caldwell are seven different decisions on price, commute, schools, lot size, and how built out the area already is. We narrow it down together based on what matters most to you.

Relocation is my specialty, and local moves work the same way. If you're already in the valley and moving across it, the discovery call covers the same ground, just closer to home.

Take the call anyway and use it as a second opinion on your city list. If you already have representation, I'll say so and we'll keep it to the market read. No one is asking you to fire anyone.

Zillow sells you to whichever agent bought that zip code that month. You get the person with the biggest ad budget. Here you get a Top 1% agent who has closed relocation deals in every city in the valley and will put the commute and school math in writing before you tour anything.

Both are a large share of what I do. Builder incentives in this valley shift monthly and they are negotiable more often than buyers realize. Assumable loans are the other lever worth checking, and I'll tell you on the call whether your situation qualifies.

Your name, a phone number, an email, and the six answers in the form above. That's it. Everything else comes out on the call.
