Our website www.TetonPropertySearch.com brings listings for the local MLS of Teton Valley Idaho and Teton County Wyoming to the public for FREE to allow perspective buyers, sellers and anyone interested in the local real estate market to see active listings.
We have function in our site that will send automated updates to those that want them as an added benefit to our prospective clients to help them be the first to know when a price has been reduced or a new listing comes on the market in their price range.
To get the updates a visitor to our site is asked for their email address. It is surprising to me how many people view this as an invasion of their privacy. We get a Mickey Mouse or other celebrity sign ups and that is not so bad. The people that choose profane and rude sign up names and fictitious email addresses must think they are somehow getting even with us for asking? How dare we ask that they share their email! Well, I forgive them for their ignorance. I do sometimes wonder if these same people when asking for information of a Realtor would have this exchange:
Customer: I would like to know what the current real estate market conditions in Victor Idaho are. Can you help me understand the market?
Realtor: Sure, I would be glad to help. What is your name and email address?
Customer:F*%$Y*^ and you can email me at F*%$@Y*^.com
Realtor: I would be glad for you to use my web site to look into the listings in our area. When you really need a professional I suggest you come back and introduce yourself again. It may be a little awkward for you when you tell me you have been on my site for the past year and I do not see your name and email. I may ask you if you are Mickey Mouse or………………
We provide MLS for Freeas a service to the public as an added benefit to our Buyers and Sellers. Sure there are plenty of things that you still need a Realtor for. We are here for you when you are ready for us. If it is just an overview of the listings you are after – Feel free to use our sitewww.TetonPropertySearch.com. And remember, Donald Duck is already using the site.
Even When You Know you’ve done a good job, Complements Still Feel Good.

Heather and I have been working with an out of state buyer. Polk never visited the cabin; he hired a home inspector and had his son look at the property for him. I don not know what my Client looks like, but I like him. The sales price was a quarter of the average sales price of our brokerage, yet we treated our Client with the same care and respect as we would have in a million dollar transaction.
When the property closed I sent him this email:
Polk,
The deed was recorded on Friday. It is your cabin now.
Thank you very much for the business! We have appreciated working with you and would love to get your feedback on how it was to work with us.
Please stop in and say Hi when you come to Teton Valley to visit.
Cheers
Harley
His Response:
"Dear Harley,
Thank you so very much! Frankly, I feel like we took advantage of you and Heather. You have gone way beyond the call of duty in helping us put this deal together. We are VERY pleased! Knox is ecstatic, and he is not one to show his emotions!
We are hoping to be out your way in August and look forward to seeing you then.

Not a room, how to measure community benefit -vs. - cost OF development? Are there too many lots in Teton Valley Idaho? Is there 300 years of inventory?
How do we measure an advocacy group’s negative impact -vs.- its positive contributions?
If a group that claims to advocate responsible development does not support the developers that plan well are they just advocating against development?
We have an advocacy group here in Teton Valley Idaho that will measure every negative impact of development. I have to agree that a developer should pay for negative impacts. How these are measured is where people sometimes do not see eye to eye.
How do we measure the positive impacts? What about the jobs created?
Growth in a community? Some that want to limit the growth moved here not long ago. What if the growth was limited prior to their arrival?
It is not the "What" in this equation that concerns me as I think these people really want to make a difference for the better. It is the "How" that has me worried. I am trying to think of a way I can help this group be more positive and less negative.
REGULATION IS NOT PLANNING!
The advocacy group was posting a series of videos that I found to be harmful to our economy and held our valley in a negative light. I contacted them and asked that they pull down these videos as they painted the worst possible picture of our community with their scare tactics, I did not get very far. Here is a video of theirs. This make you want to live here in our beautiful valley? WARNING this video does not tell the whole truth!
UPDATE!The group has pulled down the video! I have removed the link. Thank you to anyone involved in the removal of these harmful videos!

The City is sponsoring three showings of "It's A Wonderful Life" at Pierre's Playhouse.
