They have a wonderful lunch buffet 7 days a week. They serve dinner but I seem to go to lunch there. The food is great. Lots of choices for vegetarians and meat eaters. On weekends they have even more choices. If you like Indian food and live in Boise you should try this restaurant!
Just one of the many reasons to come to Boise! I love living here! You will too! Give me a call at 208-7610-2551! (5 comments)

gold key real estate: There 23 homes less then $125,000 in Boise
- 07/16/16 10:29 AM
There are not many inexpensive homes these days. Just for fun I did a search today and found 23 homes in Boise. Nine of these homes are condominiums. Five of the homes are manufactured homes on their own lot. One is a townhouse. Eight are stick built homes. A few years ago I could find 3 bedroom, 2 bath homes for that price. Most of these will have problems. You can find more houses for your money in Caldwell and Nampa. For example there are 42 homes in Nampa. One is a condo, two are manufactured homes, thirty four are single (3 comments)
gold key real estate: The Snake River Stampede
- 07/16/16 09:35 AM
The Snake River Stampede Have you ever wanted to go to an old fashioned rodeo? Well Nampa is host to one of the top 10 professional rodeos in the United States. It has history going back to 1911. It started as a harvest festival. We of the Treasure Valley know that we live in the wild wooly west. Cowboy boots and cowboy hats are always appropriate. A politician who wants to prove that he or she is one of the people will wear these items. Forget the three piece suit you are in IDAHO. Some of us are actually city folk (like (0 comments)
gold key real estate: I like the Boise airport
- 07/16/16 06:23 AM
I consider myself a world traveler. I have been many places. Both in the United States and other countries. And I have to admit the Boise airport is wonderful (for an airport). We just have one long terminal. None of the scary transfers where you do not have enough time to get places. You do not need to plan to get to the airport more then 1 hour early. The TSA line is never very long. I remember once getting to Heathrow 3 hours ahead of time and almost missing my plane. I am usually through security in 15 minutes or less. (0 comments)
gold key real estate: Bogus Basis not just for skiing... There are great summer activities.
- 07/14/16 12:57 AM
Bogus Basin is just 16 miles north of Boise. It is not just for skiing. There are great summer activities! When I first got to Boise Bogus was mostly just for skiing and winter activities. I always go up for at least one trip during the summer. I would just hike along the road with my family and marvel at being in our beautiful mountains. Bogus Basin has definitely grown up. A quick look at their website reveals that they have they have many wonderful activities. You can ride the chairlift and hike from the skiing areas. A lift ride is just $10. I am (0 comments)
gold key real estate: Closing the short sale
- 10/01/15 01:15 AM
We took the listing on April 9. We closed it on September 25. My partner, Bill Taylor, brought this one in. The owner had it briefly listed with another agent but that other agent did not give her copies of the paper work and lowered the price of the home without asking the owner. Our client lived in the home 9 years. She was a divorced lady becoming an empty nester. She was a very competent office manager earning in the mid 40's. In November the owner sold the business and 2 weeks later she was out of a job. My partner's wife (0 comments)
gold key real estate: Why list it as a short sale when it is not?
- 02/12/15 09:36 AM
Today my partner pulled in a listing. The owner is a friend of his sisters. We went to the home that had been marketed for 135 days as a short sale. The pictures on this listing were awful. The home had been shown exactly twice in these 135 days. After 135 days on the market there was no price change.
Bill's sister talked to him about her friend. She wanted to talk to him. We figured out the listing by the shortsale status and the agency. Bill set up an appointment for this morning. We got to work early and (5 comments)
gold key real estate: Should I own up to the roof or not?
- 02/07/15 10:38 AM
I have a beautiful new listing. I know the roof doesn't leak but I also know it wont stand up to an inspection. My owner is fine with replacing the roof at closing but does not have the money to replace it before escrow. These are my remarks:
Beautiful two owner home on Mountain View. This great home is designed for easy living with a french provincial designed kitchen. Lots of Anderson Windows throughout the upper level. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout with an upstairs and downstairs fireplace plus a dining room. Huge living room and recreation room plus some real (9 comments)

I seem to take on 2 or 3 "projects" a year for friends and clients. I project manage getting the house for listing. Today my partner Bill Taylor, and I put the finishing touches on 4027 Mountain View in Boise. We (mostly) have installed new lighting, The electric has been brought up to date, all the toilets and faucets work, lights have been connected, old paint has been cleaned up, new paint has been put on. A drop in stove held together with wires has been changed for a nice free standing stove. The yard no longer resembles a fairy tale. (3 comments)

gold key real estate: The right lender is important!
- 02/02/14 11:00 PM
I sell many homes a year. Many of them are financed. There are a lot of good lenders out there. There are also lenders that are not so good. I recommend one lender in particular because if she is involved I know exactly how the deal is going to go. I know that if she tells me that the deal is fund-able, it is. She takes the time to make sure my client understands the process. I know my lender, Dona Jeka, dona.jeka@pacresmortgage.com, is not unique. I know there are other great lenders in the Treasure Valley. I have even (1 comments)

This should be my last open house of 2011! As Christmas approaches people get busy and the open houses are less effective. Of course maybe if I am bored I will do it again next week...
