idaho real estate: Create a free Google Site in minutes and expose it to your sphere - 01/30/10 06:15 AM
I am amazed at how many Realtors I run into that still don't have a website.  Not having a website in this day and age is like not having peanut butter on your peanut butter and jelly sandwich!  Many people simply don't know how to create a website and many think a powerful website is too expensive to create and maintain.
I took a Point2Agent site in 2007 and made it (with the help of many AR friends) a powerful lead generating machine. This site, Search Idaho Homes.com is responsible for generating 7-10 good leads per week like clock work. However, I have spent … (27 comments)

idaho real estate: The 4 traits of all successful Realtors - 08/31/08 04:40 AM
I started my real estate career in 1980 and if ever I have seen history repeat itself it is now, nearly 30 years later.  In 1983 I sold homes with interest rates of 17 1/2 %. Realtors dropped like flies because the attitude was "I can't sell homes with those kinds of interest rates".  Fast forward to 2008 and again Realtors are dropping like flies.  Same result as the 1980's. 
What separates those that succeed in any market and what is the common denominator for those Realtors that hang up their spurs, leave the business and look for other ways to … (23 comments)

idaho real estate: Idaho Real Estate - 08/20/08 02:49 PM

For the past several years Boise Idaho and Idaho in general has been touted as a place that is great for families and businesses. 
Early this year of 2008 Amy Bickers from the Kiplinger News Letter personally visited Boise Idaho and was very impressed asking the question "How do folks get any work done around here?"  Amy was referring to the Skiing, Snow Boarding, Fishing, Biking and Kayaking all offered in and around Boise and in most parts of the state.
Idaho is one of the most diversified states anywhere in the nation.  The northern part of the state has … (17 comments)

Have you ever had the feeling that you took your home for granted?  Took your city for granted?  Took your state for granted?

idaho real estate: Silver City of Idaho >> An Idaho Treasure - 08/06/07 06:37 AM
One of the best little drives one can take if you live in the S.W. corner of Idaho were I do is to the historic town of Silver City.   If you are around my age you will remember Bonanza and The Rifleman, two of my all-time favorite T.V. Shows. Those two shows remind me of Silver City.
When you drive south of the city of Nampa on Highway 45 you will eventually cross the Snake River of Idaho.  You then turn due south on State Highway 78 and you will follow the Snake River for a few miles before you turn do west … (20 comments)

Back in the mid 1980's my girlfriend at the time and I were driving through the town of Weiser Idaho during the time of the Old time Fiddlers Contest which is held annually June 18 through the 23rd.   The amount of people even back then was amazing to see in a little town of about 5,000 people.  It seemed like there were people from every state in the nation and several from foreign countries.

Idaho has been discovered by thousands of people from around the world.  They come for the many attractions to the state from Sun Valley in the south to Coeur d' Alene to the north.  There are awesome rivers, lakes, streams and much more to marvel at.
Morley Nelson discovered something else that once again put Idaho on the map.  After World War II Morley moved to Idaho and fell in love with the "Birds of Prey" that made the Snake River Canyon in Southern Idaho their home.  He was so fascinated with the Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, Hawks and dozens of other … (12 comments)

idaho real estate: The Salmon River of Idaho - "The River of no Return" - 04/28/07 05:29 AM

Yes, the Salmon River was dubbed "The River of no Return" but I have been there more times than I can count and I have returned every time LOL.   Everyone knows that real estate is a demanding business with "Stress" being it's middle name.   Back in 1990 my friend and stock broker at the time took me along with his dad to Shepp Ranch along the Salmon River and my life has never been the same.
Whenever life gets overwhelming to the point that I need a break I gather some friends of mine, mostly from my office and make the trip … (12 comments)
