What Problem Did I Solve For You?

Thanks Jeff Masich-Scottsdale AZ Associate Broker,MBA,GRI I took that photo at Lardo's in McCall on one of my recent trips showing my son property up in Valley County.  

Kathy Streib I like how it makes the testimonial have value instead of "they were nice to work with" or "they did a good job" which are nice, but don't really offer a value proposition.

Kat Palmiotti thank you.  I think I might have to start using my grandkids in my marketing.  My kids are all getting an A+ in generating grandkids for me. 

Thank you Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker. Coming from another excellent broker, that means a lot to me.

Dorte Engel wolves are a huge controversy here in Idaho.  When they were reintroduced, people claim the new wolves were much bigger and aggressive than the original wolves we had here. You taught me a new word today . . . carrion. Thank you.

Last year during a discussion with a friend about putting in a permit to do a 23 day float down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, my friend asked asked if I knew any good taxidermists here in Boise.  I admitted that I didn't but that I have lots of friends that are hunters, outfitters and guides so I felt confident I could find one if needed. Then a few months later, I found out I was successful and drew a permit for us to float the Grand Canyon this July!  He asked me again about the taxidermist.  Bewildered, I asked why he had  this sudden infatuation with taxidermists.  He responded "Well your permit isn't assignable, so if you die between now and then, we are still going!" 

Carla Freund I highly recommend asking.  I should have been doing it since day 1.

Joan Cox our MLS uses it as well but I haven't even used their free version.  Do you pay for any of their upgrades?  If so, is it worth it?

Thank you Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist.  Did you know there are 69 wineries in Idaho and over 25 of them are within an hour drive of Boise?

Thanks Carol Williams.  BTW, I was just responding to a comment from Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist and decided to write a blog about Idaho's wineries and AVA's.  Maybe my tax guru will  let me write off my trips to the wineries as "marketing research".

Thanks Elyse Berman, PA.  I am a lucky man in that all three of my sons married great women that have blessed me with amazing grandkids.  Here is my first granddaughter who lives there in Florida that I have to keep visiting.  I need to schedule more classes to teach in Florida for NAR and NAHB so I can come back a lot more often.

Yes it is John Juarez.  I loved watching our 3 boys grow up into young men and now I really enjoy watching them become proud fathers as well. When my wife was first diagnosed with cancer, she thought she wouldn't be able to meet any of her grandkids.  Fortunately, she was able to meet the first two and learn the sex and name of our third.  They were the best medicine for her.

I hope it works for you Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS Have a great weekend!

Thanks Ed Silva I wish I would have learned that technique years ago.

Dr. Paula McDonald I do love helping people with their real estate needs.  I have one great client that might be moving to Texas so I will need to look up Granbury to see where it is located so I can be prepared when they tell me which part of Texas they are considering.  Have a great weekend!

Thanks Sharon Tara I am working on our Home Inspection Addendum right now for my son and figured I could catch up on my blog comments while I await their signatures.  I am blessed with six grandkids now and loving it!
