What should you actually look for in a realtor who understands custom home construction? Someone who's swung a hammer before they ever held a listing agreement.
I grew up helping my family build a new custom home every few years, and I worked construction crews through high school — framing, roofing, finish work, all of it. Before real estate, I ran my own environmental contracting business, working alongside agents on hundreds of transactions. So when a client's looking at a custom build or a high-end property, I'm not guessing at what matters. I've been on the other side of it.
That's the difference between an agent who can read a listing and one who can read a house.
Whatever phase of life you're in — first home, custom build, or a move to the lake — let's figure out how to solve it together.
Reach out if Coeur d'Alene or Spokane real estate is on your radar.
