Client Story - Jonathan

I had a great experience working with Pearl and Kevin to sell my home. Throughout the sale, I felt like I was getting honest advice and guidance rather than being pressured into decisions. One thing that really stood out was Pearl's marketing expertise. It was clear she had a solid strategy for reaching potential buyers. And Kevin was able to handle many of the repairs and upgrades the house needed before going on the market, which made everything much less stressful. Pearl and Kevin genuinely cared about helping me get the best result possible. – Jonathan Stroud

Another Work in Progress

We don’t just help you sell your home. We turn it into something special that looks just as good in person as it does in the pictures. But it doesn’t come easy, and it doesn’t happen overnight. Right now, we’re hard at work on a property we hope to bring to market soon. We can’t share the details yet. Stay tuned to learn more and enjoy these pics of our work in progress!

The art of listening.

We’re grateful for the trust our clients place in us, and it’s great to know that our insights, coordination, and support make the homeselling and buying process smoother and more enjoyable, despite the stress.

But you don’t have to take our word for it. Here’s what one recent client had to say…

Pearl and Kevin were excellent from start to finish of the sale of our townhouse. During our initial meeting to evaluate the state of our house, they gave us insights into what we could do to improve the saleability and value of our property. They also truly listened to our wishes and concerns, never pressuring us into doing improvements that we weren’t comfortable with.

Pearl arranged appointments with her trusted contractors and was always present when we met with them to discuss the details of our remodeling. She coordinated the various projects from ordering supplies to execution so that everything went as smoothly as possible and was completed with professionalism.

When it came time to list the property, Pearl handled all the details of staging, photography, and marketing. She also helped us through the laborious process of getting all required inspections done and documents signed. Finally, she helped us evaluate and craft our response to offers, never pressuring us into a hasty decision.

Kevin wore the contractor’s hat, providing valuable, practical advice, and even helped out with some of the tasks. Although it was still a stressful experience selling our home of 36 years, Pearl and Kevin provided most welcome professional and emotional support throughout — and always with good humor, calmness and respect. We would highly recommend them. – Myke Ke

On the Road: Eagle, Idaho

We took a trip to Big Sky country and spent some time in Eagle, Idaho, touring luxurious homes with a colleague. We came away impressed by the high quality — and manageable prices — of new developments popping up in this growing mountain oasis.

Here’s a sampling of what we saw. You can learn more about Eagle, Boise, and the rest of Treasure Valley here.

Housing market remains resilient.

It may not be the sticker shock of last year’s tariff-palooza, but war with Iran is causing economic volatility and uncertainty to surge higher every day. However, the housing market has not seen significant impacts — at least not yet. That could change in a hurry.

As of April 13, the average daily 30-year mortgage rate had risen to 6.41% after briefly dipping below 6% prior to the war. And as anyone with a gas-powered car has experienced, oil prices have soared, causing inflation to jump from 2.4% in February to 3.3% in March.

Prior to the ceasefire, consumer confidence fell to its lowest reading ever going back to 1978. Following the announcement, stock markets have dramatically rebounded.
