Throughout our entire process of buying a home, Stephanie was not only an incredibly skilled realtor, but an incredibly kind and genuine individual. She taught us things about the Home buying process we didn’t know, and was never less than a phone call away. We are first time home buyers in a very...
Definitely helped us with locating the perfect house. Listened to us and what we were looking for and what areas we would like the best. Also has been a great help with setting up things while we are delayed with our move.
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 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 was awesome to work with! She always made herself available and helped us navigate this crazy market. She helped keep us in check and kept us going. I highly recommend Chrissie if you would like a realtor that feels like a friend through it all.
As an out of state, first-time investment buyer, we didn’t know where to start looking. Working through this process remotely, we found Chrissie to be a true resource due to her local (Boise and surrounding) area expertise. She took work and stress out of the process by listening to our needs and...
We couldn't have asked for a better agent. Stephanie was patient, thorough, responsive, professional and had our best interests at heart from start to finish. Relocating from another state presented a few challenges. However, Stephanie was with us every step of the way. Her response time to our...

Stephanie is very personable. She has the ability to connect with you, and make you feel comfortable. She knows the Boise area in and out. She will always respond quickly and politely. Overall, the best realtor I have ever had.
Stephanie was GREAT!!! Her knowledge and experience made the home buying process smooth and easy. She is quick to respond and prioritizes her clients. Stephanie made shopping for a home fun and stress free. We couldn’t have asked for better, more dedicated realtor!
We could not be happier with Sheila and her team. She was beyond responsive and attentive to our needs. As a former realtor and local professional, I was grateful for Sheila's attention to detail, knowledge of the market, integrity, and professional guidance. Sheila is a class act and we couldn't...
We're not giving Chrissie 5 stars because she was referred by a close family friend (coincidentally also a ReMax realtor) and we're not giving her 5 stars to be kind. Chrissie flat out EARNED her 5 star rating.
My husband's mother passed away unexpectedly and the emotional task of selling her home...
Sheila helped us get our house sold with us being in another state, something I took on with trepidation. She was able to guide us through what improvements would help our home be it's most inviting and ready to welcome a new family. Sheila is personable, wise, and professional.
She has an amazing...
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...
