I made this video to advertise the community I live in. I live on Fractus Dr. in Cirrus Pointe, one of the four neighborhoods that line Cirrus Drive. I think this is a great place to live, and it's a very vibrant market for buying and selling homes, either existing or new construction.

I want to be of service to anyone considering buying or selling along Cirrus Drive, in Caldwell, or in the Treasure Valley area. If you feel like you need

- an introduction to this part of Idaho,
- help finding a home,
- help getting your home ready to sell,
- help understanding the process of buying or selling,
- or a sounding board to help you make good decisions,

I want to help. Send me a message, send me a text, or call me at 208.549.0586. I can help you get to your new place.

How do you weigh privacy against public safety?

The Caldwell city workshop last night on the police's Drone and First Responder program was packed with information. The demonstration was impressive. The stats sounded good. The drones have been able to reach incidents before live responders more than 50% of the time when they have been deployed. They are mindful of privacy issues and are doing what they can to address them.

Do you think this is a good use of public resources or are you worried about personal intrusion?

Thinking of moving but feel “locked in” by your current rate? 🗝️
For the last few years, many of us have felt the “Golden Handcuffs”—staying in a home that maybe doesn’t fit our current life just to keep a sub-3% or 4% mortgage rate.
But 2026 is marking a major tipping point. For the first time, homeowners with rates at or above 6% outnumber those with those ultra-low legacy rates. The “lock-in” effect is finally starting to fade as inventory is projected to surge by 20% this year.
Why this matters for you:
Real life doesn’t pause for interest rates. Whether it’s a new baby, a job change, or a marriage, these “life events” are now outweighing the desire to stay put.
My commitment to you:
My job isn’t just to sell houses; it’s to help you run the math. If you’re feeling cramped in your current space or looking to downsize, let’s look at the 2026 projections together:
• Inventory is growing: You actually have homes to choose from again.
• Sales volume is up: Buyers are back in the market (projected +14% increase).
• Equity is high: Your current home’s value might surprise you.
If you’re curious about what “The Great Unlocking” looks like for your specific property on Cirrus Drive or in the surrounding neighborhoods, I’m here to help—no pressure, just data.
