Bow Hunting Elk In Idaho

Boise Real Estate Agent's

2016 Year In Review

2016 was a fabulous year filled with foibles, foul ups and snafu’s galore. The record cool tempratures that we experienced combined with the late labor day had the elk going pretty good for so early in the season. After making the switch to bow hunting in 1998 I have enjoyed a lot of great hunts hounding the screaming bulls of central Idaho. But this years hunt was the best. It seems like every time I turned around there was another 6 point standing there wanting to kick me bottom. There were a lot of bulls in 1998 and 1999 during the early phases of wolf reintroduction. We chased elk by the bushel full out of the meadows and onto the ridges, but they were mostly 4 or 5 points with an occasional big…

Kitchens Sell Boise Homes!

Lately I have seen a lot of really good looking acid washed, oxidized metal back splashes in high end commercial settings and thought it would be a great idea to add some pop to your new homes kitchen backsplash, guest bath or even a whole wall.

There are hundreds of ways that you could incorporate this into your home. I am going to do kitchen back splash when we redo the kitchen great room at our Ballantyne house next year! So for the sake of this blog I will approach from that angle!

10 Tips To Help Get Top Dollar

When Selling Your Boise Home!

Tips For Selling Boise Real Estate

Number 10- Price It Right

Find out what your home is worth, then instead of adding 5% to arrive at the asking price, take 2 % off. In an active market, like the one we have in Boise, chances are there are 3 or 4 buyers out there ready to pounce on the next listing with a competitive price. Fear of being beat out again will get the better of them often resulting in multiple offers. And if you have followed the other 9 tips, a great offer well over full price.

 Number 9- Curb Appeal Sells

Do whatever it takes to make the front of your home and your entry way look beautiful and maintenance free. From painting the front door, to barking the…

          Interior Painting In Your Future?

Picking The Right Paint Is The Key?

Where, what, and why will determine the quality & sheen that is best for your job!

There are many reason why a home may need to be painted from turning a rental over to decorating the baby's room. Here we will discuss the pros and cons of different types of paint, sheen's and applications for each! The paint you may choose for your  own home versus a rental or a flip are all going to be different.

Paint Basics

Cost Vs Quality- Generally the more you spend the better coverage you will get out of one coat. So if you are operating the sprayer or the brush factor your time into equation. With a high quality paint you may well be able to do just one coat if the under layer is a similar or light color! That…
