I am a Realtor with eXp Realty in northern Idaho and California. Home ownership starts with a dream. It is these dreams that lead us to northern Idaho. You!

Forty-one years ago, my wife and I bought our “dream home” in Sacramento, California. As we matured and the size of our family grew our dreams changed. Living in Coeur d’Alene with my wife and our two youngest children since 2004, I know what a special place this region is. Before moving to Idaho, I was a Police Detective with the Sacramento Police Department and after that a Private Investigator. Working a variety of assignments, including the Homicide Unit, drove me to seek a better place, for my family, after I retired. We found such a place in Idaho. Two of our children now live in California. In 2021, my wife and I purchased a condo in the Palm Springs area to be closer to our children and grandchildren throughout the year. After so doing, I was licensed in California. Personally I have been involved in the purchase and sale of several properties, including my own residences, investment properties, and land. I know the excitement of closing on the perfect property, and I also understand and have experienced many of the pitfalls in buying or selling real estate. I have only one concern . . . I am committed to attain the best price for your home, to find the right home for you to buy, to help you achieve your goals for personal and investment properties, to take care of all the details to insure your real estate transaction seems effortless and enjoyable, and to go the extra mile to insure a win-win situation for all parties. I am committed to exceptional service. I will do my utmost to provide you with the best representation I can.

In a small North Idaho town like Mullan, a football field is more than a place to play a game. It’s where generations of memories are made.

Today, John Drager Field carries a lot of history. For decades, Mullan Tigers have taken the field while families, students, neighbors, and friends filled the sidelines. During John Drager’s long coaching tenure, Mullan football won 14 league titles and back-to-back state championships in 1983 and 1984. In 1996, the field was officially renamed in his honor.

But what I appreciate most about places like this is that their story is bigger than any one coach, player, or season.

It’s about generations of local kids wearing the same school colors. It’s about families showing up on Friday nights. And it’s about a small community coming together to support its own.

The scoreboard resets after every game. The memories stick around a whole lot longer.

That’s one of the things I enjoy about North Idaho. Our small towns have stories everywhere you look.

This isn't really about right or wrong—it's about perspective.
Some people believe when the right property comes along, you make it happen.
Others prefer to wait until every piece of the puzzle feels perfectly aligned.
Over the years, I've learned that every situation is different, and every buyer has their own comfort level.
What would you do?

Researching a property used to take serious legwork.
Today, much of the information buyers want is available within minutes.
Property history, aerial views, tax information, lot lines, and neighborhood data are easier to access than ever.
Information is powerful. Knowing how to interpret it is even more valuable. That's where experience still matters.

Markets change, interest rates change, and headlines change. Your goals should still be the biggest factor in deciding when to make a move.

If you're wondering whether now makes sense for you, let's have a conversation without any pressure.

When you know why you’re making a move, confidence follows — even in uncertain markets.

There’s something to be said for the local places that stick around. 🎥🍿

Hayden Discount Cinema has been part of the Hayden community in one form or another since around 1998. It survived a closure, reopened under new ownership in 2013, adapted to changing moviegoing habits, and even turned to an outdoor drive-in experience during the challenges of 2020.

Through it all, the idea has stayed pretty simple: give people a convenient place to get together and enjoy a movie.

Those everyday places are part of what gives a community its character. When I talk with people about moving to North Idaho, it’s not just houses, acreage, lakes, and mountain views that matter. It’s also the restaurants, businesses, traditions, and familiar gathering places that make an area feel like home.

That’s the North Idaho lifestyle—and I’m always happy to help people get to know it.

Everyone uses their home a little differently.
Some people want a spacious primary suite that feels like a personal retreat after a long day.
Others would rather have a larger living room where family and friends naturally gather.
If you had to choose, which space would matter more to you?
Sometimes these little questions tell me more about someone's dream home than a long list of must-haves.

Getting a mortgage used to require folders full of paperwork and several trips to the lender's office.
Today, much of the process can be completed from home.
You can upload documents securely, receive updates electronically, and communicate with your lender throughout the process.
The paperwork hasn't disappeared…
It's just become a lot easier to manage.

An inspection isn't about finding a perfect home—it's about understanding what you're buying and planning accordingly.

Ever wondered what inspectors usually find in North Idaho homes? Ask me.
