I’ve had a lot of job titles. This one’s my favorite.

Before real estate, I worked oil rigs — started on the floor, worked my way up to rig manager. Long hours, hard weather, and a crew counting on you to get it right every single day.

Then banking. Then tech. Somewhere in there I also became a personal trainer, because apparently I don’t sit still well

Here’s what all of it taught me: people don’t remember what you sold them. They remember whether you showed up, told them the truth, and did what you said you’d do.

That’s the whole playbook. That’s it.

So when I sit down with a first-time buyer who’s nervous about rates, or a family relocating to Idaho who’s never seen the Treasure Valley in person — I’m not running a script. I’m just being the guy I’d want on my side if I were the one signing.

My wife and kids and I get to call Meridian home, and helping other people land here (or level up here) genuinely doesn’t feel like work most days.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling — this fall, next spring, whenever — I’m easy to find. Let’s have a real conversation.

Quick Treasure Valley market update for May 2026 — here's what I'm seeing on the ground right now.

Inventory is still historically low. Pending sales are rising. The traditional spring surge hit this year, and well-priced homes are moving in a weekend again — in some cases with multiple offers.

Rates are sitting around 6.4% on a 30-year fixed right now, up from a brief dip under 6% in April. The Fed has paused three times this year with no cut expected soon, so don't count on meaningful rate relief before summer.

What this means if you're buying: Get your pre-approval locked in and get your strategy clear before you're standing in a home you love with nothing ready to move on. That scenario costs money.

What this means if you're selling: Conditions are as good as they've been in over a year. Sellers who price right and present well are winning right now.

Questions? Drop them below.

For about two weeks in mid-April, rates on a 30-year mortgage dipped below 6%. It was the lowest we'd seen in over a year.

Most buyers waited. Now they're back up around 6.4%.

I'm not saying that to scare you. I'm saying it because that exact scenario — rates drop, buyers freeze, rates climb back — has played out twice in the past 18 months. And every time, the buyers who moved during the dip ended up better off.

Here's the thing about waiting for the "right" rate: there's no signal that tells you when you're in it. You only see it in hindsight.

What I can tell you right now: spring inventory in the Treasure Valley is thin, buyer activity is picking back up, and well-priced homes are going under contract in a weekend again.

If you're planning to buy this year, the time to get your strategy in place is before something good hits the market, not after.

$400K in Eagle vs. $400K in Nampa — here's what the difference actually looks like right now.

🦅 Eagle: Likely a 3-bed, 2-bath, ~1,600 sq ft resale. Smaller yard. Closer to schools and amenities. Higher appreciation history.

🏘️ Nampa: 4-bed, 3-bath, 2,000+ sq ft new construction possible. Larger lot. Longer commute to Boise core. Strong upside as the valley continues to grow west.

Neither is wrong. It depends on your priorities — lifestyle, commute, schools, long-term goals.

That's the conversation I have with every buyer before we start touring homes. Strategy first, then search.
