Last night I called Heather and let her know I was going to be late for dinner. I just got a call to do a drive by BPO and I was going to take the order. I live in Teton Valley Idaho (ID)and the servicer wanted me to do a broker price opinion in Grovertown Indiana (IN).
 

The servicer’s accent made me wonder if she was a virtual assistant from somewhere outside of the US. Not that everyone in the US would know that ID is for Idaho and IN is for Indiana. In fact I am not sure … (9 comments)

teton: Idaho Real Estate, “Riding for the Brand” - 09/29/10 07:59 AM
When We at West Group take on a client as an Idaho Real Estate Professional we "Ride for the Brand".
In the days of old cowboys drove huge herds of cattle across the United States. During these cattle drives, they branded the cattle to keep track of who was rightful owner. Brands became almost a crest, a cattleman's coat of arms.  
What most people do not talk about is that riding for the brand is a commitment of both parties. There is a certain loyalty that is developed over time. The relationship is strengthened thru honest dealings, and looking out … (6 comments)

Here is yet another great reason we love Teton Valley Idaho. As I take our girls for a ride on the sleigh we have a chance to visit and grow. On this kind of expedition something amazing happens, we talk to each other. In this modern era of electronics and gadgets this is not as common as it should be. Anyone have kids that listen to an iPod or text while riding with you in the car? While on a sleigh ride things slow down a century or so. As Twister jigs, the bells that my Dad gave me make a soft … (4 comments)

teton: Teton Valley Idaho: Driggs, Victor and Tetonia Homes for sale - 01/13/10 03:01 PM
Homes for sale, time to take advantage of the great deals in Teton Valley Idaho, Driggs, Victor, Tetonia and Teton County. Three and a half months left to take advantage of the tax credits to purchase homes. If you arrange financing ahead of time it is possible to close a property in 45 (best case, 20+/-) days.  That leaves roughly 60 days to find the house that fits your needs, negotiate the contract and make a deal.
