Follow me for a chaotic, heartwarming, and oddly satisfying 24 hours.
After more than 40 years in Idaho real estate, I can say one thing for sure—no two days are ever the same. From early-morning MLS searches to late-night contract calls, real estate is a blend of hustle, heart, and human connection.
So grab a cup of coffee (mine’s always strong), and come along for a day in the life of an Idaho real estate agent—chaotic, hilarious, and deeply rewarding.
☀️ Morning: Coffee, Clients, and Calm (Before the Chaos)
I start every morning early—coffee first, then a quick check of new listings and emails. Idaho’s market moves fast, and I want my clients to be the first to know when their dream home hits the market.
Over the years, I’ve worked with everyone from first-time buyers to families finding their forever home, and that sense of possibility never gets old. It’s why I started in this business decades ago as a young mom—it’s always been about creating stability and helping others do the same.
By 8:00 a.m., I’ve already touched base with a few clients, checked new listings, and planned out my day. A couple of showings in Boise, a listing appointment in Eagle, and a quick stop at the title office—nothing too crazy (yet).
🚗 Midday: The Joy of the Journey (and the Idaho Views)
By midday, I’m on the road—windows down, podcast on, driving past Idaho’s rolling hills and open skies. There’s something grounding about this place. After living here for over 40 years, I still find beauty in every back road and small town.
First up, I’m meeting with a couple buying their first home. I remember what that feels like—the nerves, the excitement, the endless questions. I love walking people through that process, step by step, making sure they feel informed, supported, and confident.
Later, I meet with a seller preparing to list. We talk about staging, pricing strategy, and how to highlight what makes their home special. Sometimes that means moving a chair or opening a window to let in Idaho’s famous sunshine. (And yes, fresh cookies on the counter still work wonders.)
☕ Afternoon: Negotiations, Networking, and Nurturing Relationships
Afternoons are where things get busy—and where experience really counts. After 42 years in the business, I’ve learned that communication is everything. A quick phone call can calm nerves, close gaps, and keep a deal moving forward.
Between offers, counteroffers, and coordinating with lenders, I grab a coffee at a local Boise café and take a few minutes to post on social media. I love sharing little moments from my day—beautiful listings, client celebrations, or gardening snapshots from my backyard. Real estate is about connection, and social media helps me show the real me: approachable, knowledgeable, and passionate about what I do.
🌄 Evening: Paperwork, Pilates, and Peace
Evenings are my quiet time to tie up loose ends—sending offers, updating clients, reviewing contracts. Once the business day slows down, I switch gears: a Pilates session, a little gardening, maybe some piano time if I’m lucky.
I believe in balance. Between my family, my art, and my work, I’ve learned that caring for people—and yourself—keeps everything in perspective.
💭 Conclusion: It’s More Than Real Estate—It’s Relationships
After decades in Idaho real estate, I still feel the same excitement I did when I helped my first client buy a home. Every family, every sale, every story is different—but they all matter.
This job isn’t just about closing deals. It’s about helping people move into their next chapter with confidence and joy.
So yes, my days are busy, unpredictable, and sometimes a little chaotic—but I wouldn’t trade them for anything.
