According to this Business Insider article, Boise is in the top 25 recession-proof cities, coming in at #12. The coronavirus spread has sent stocks falling, raising recession fears. Texas has 8 cities that made the top 25 ranked as recession-resistant.
It's no secret that Boise is a hot real estate market, often ranking #1 for most notable home sales and price growth. As Sheila mentions in this Kiplinger's article, part of the reason is that “Our inventory is the lowest it has been in 19 years,” and "We've been seeing a huge exodus from [the […]
Downsizing can be a positive life change for seniors who are struggling with home maintenance, cleaning, health issues, or the expense of living in a home that’s just too big to handle. Many older adults see moving to a smaller home as a negative, a sign of physical and mental decline. If you’re struggling with […]

One recent discovery is a relatively new activity center called Circus Trix. Located at 1460 N Happy Valley Rd in Nampa, Circus Trix is one of the coolest places we’ve […]

We worked with Jaimee as first-time homebuyers during July/August 2020 (one of the craziest periods in Boise’s real estate history). We had little idea that we would be walking into perhaps the hottest/most competitive residential real estate market in the country. Luckily, we had Jaimee Phillips...
Sheila and her team are amazing! We relocated to the Treasure Valley from out of state, with an extraordinarily tight timeline. We found the home of our dreams and Sheila made it happen for us, all while we were out of state! To add to the complexity of our situation, it was a multiple family move,...
We loved, loved, loved working with Sheila and team. Everyone on the team were helpful and always on top of things. We also sold our home in less than 4 days, and that was only because we wanted all the offers from our open house. The team did awesome with taking the photos and making the home...
Stephanie was a complete joy to work with! She was on top of everything that came our way and communicated everything thoroughly and promptly. As we were buying a house while living in another state, that process can sometimes be stressful. Not so with Stephanie. We were in good hands! We...
Wow, what an experience, thankfully Sheila Smith has the best team of people that made this entire mind boggling experience a piece of cake. This was the fist home sale that I have ever been part of. Shiela's experience, expertise and marketing skills enabled us to market my house at the right...
Chrissie was the best to work with! She helped us find our home effortlessly and no surprises at closing. She really sought to understand what we were looking for and didn’t disappoint. ?? ?? ?? ?? ??
Sheila was a pleasure to work with and always available to show us a potential home. We looked at a few and she offered great advice on the pros and cons of any potential offer. When we had an offer accepted, she made the process really easy and as stress free as possible.
My wife and I were first time buyers and out-of-state. We could hardly have known less to start, but in spite of that we began our search online and had already formed pretty specific ideas about what we wanted by the time we met Stephanie. Once we were finally ready to take the plunge, we...
Stephanie Perkins is really second to none in all aspects of real estate and I wouldn't recommend anyone else! She connected me to an off market property that was coming back on the market. Once the property went back on the MLS we immediately put in an offer, unfortunately someone else also put in...
Chrissie is hands down the best realtor we have ever dealt with. She made selling our home such an easy and stress free process (within 7 days!). She is very knowledgeable and is thorough and timely in her communication. Each step was explained as we went through the process so we knew what to...
Extremely responsive, helpful, friendly and motivated. Sheila’s team knew the SE Boise market very well and has passion for the area. Staging was amazing. I’d recommend to anyone.
Stephanie is the epitome of “on top of it”! She was absolutely amazing throughout this entire process and was able to find me a home (an off market, “for sale by owner” home) in a beautiful area where I never thought I’d be able to afford a home! She was on top of the seller the whole time, and...
Chrissie could not have been more helpful in the whole home buying process. We were first time home buyers, and out of state, so we had a lot of questions and needed a lot of extra explaining and frankly, dumbing down of the whole process. She did all of that and more! She was very responsive and...
Chrissie was helpful and responsive in our cross country move - no small feat during the pandemic! She was easy to work with, friendly, listened to our needs and was thoughtful throughout the process.
I worked with Sheila a few years ago to purchase my home and she was the absolute best. And this year I worked with her on the other side of the process selling my home and she is the same amazing agent with whatever you're working with her on. On our first meeting she very simply and clearly...
