Real estate is a very complex and tricky environment. However, dealing with a true professional like Joan has turned potentially rocky paths into comforting and rewarding experiences. Joan has been our personal realtor for over 6 years and has represented us both as sellers and buyers throughout a very turbulent real estate market. She has the gifts of listening, understanding and creativity. Her services go far beyond the norm and she has exceeded our expectations each and every time we work with her. Thank you for making our dream home(s) come true!!

I initially selected John Holmes for my Boise home listing due in part to the very positive testimonials in his marketing material. It is now a pleasure to add my own letter of recommendation regarding the quality of his professional work. John is by far the best real estate agent I have worked with during the decades that I have bought and sold homes in various regions of the country. His professionalism, expertise, integrity, honesty, and communication skills are unsurpassed. He was able to apply his diligent research in a rapidly changing real estate market; excellent knowledge and usage of Internet based real estate marketing methods; and masterful negotiation skills to sell my home which had previously been listed on the market with other agents for over a year without any offers. John “gets results” and clearly is an asset to the real estate profession. I highly recommend John Holmes without hesitation for one’s real estate needs and I certainly will engage his services again should the need arise.

Buying a house seemed like a scary process but Joan’s careful explanations and endless patience made it an adventure instead. What a relief to know that she was handling all the details. Once she got us started on the loan process we expected to spend weeks looking at houses that were nothing like what we had in mind. How wrong we were! She had listened to us so carefully, every house we looked at, she had carefully screened and told us all the pros and cons. The biggest surprise of all came when she took us to the “little blue house”. We had both seen a picture of it on the website and didn't think it was the house for us. She assured us that she had seen it and it was worth a second look. Imagine our surprise, excitement, and delight when we walked up the front sidewalk and into the living room. We knew immediately that it was OUR HOUSE! We could never have done it without Joan!

When we decided to sell our home, we tried to do it by ourselves. We thought that having the only five bedroom home in a new subdivision was going to be easy, but after 2 months of “For Sale By Owner” advertising (we tried everything), we were getting little traffic and NO offers. That’s when we met John Holmes – our Star Realtor! In a very clear and professional way, John explained to us the hassle free, time saving and monetary advantages of using the services of a Realtor (especially John) to sell our home. To make a long story short, with John’s suggestions and help, our home sold quickly and for more than we were originally asking for!! John’s diligence, efficiency and honesty gave us the opportunity to realize how important it is to work with a knowledgeable professional. We are extremely pleased with the service we have received and are still receiving from John in the search of a new home. It is truly very difficult to put into words how grateful and happy we are to have had the opportunity to know John, and we sincerely appreciate the great work he’s done in helping us with this important step in our lives.
