With 15+ years as a top producer and deep expertise in northern Idaho and Mountain West land markets, I combine proven real estate results with the technical foundation to evaluate ranches and agricultural properties the way a buyer or seller needs them evaluated — not just by the acre, but by what the land can do. From cattle and hay operations to irrigated ground, I understand the metrics that drive ranch value in this region.
One of the most active and fast-moving segments of the northern Idaho land market is the premier vacant parcel — the 10 to 100-acre piece that gives a buyer the freedom to build exactly what they want, where they want it. Demand for this type of ground around Sandpoint and Coeur d'Alene has been extraordinary, and values are continuing to climb. I have deep familiarity with this segment and know how to evaluate a vacant parcel the way a builder or serious buyer needs it evaluated: access quality, utilities proximity, topography, soil conditions, covenants, and what it will genuinely cost to develop.
Discover exceptional hunting and fishing properties with an agent who personally pursues the outdoor lifestyle that defines this region. My firsthand knowledge of northern Idaho's fish and wildlife habitat, combined with 15+ years of land market expertise, ensures you find a property with genuine and lasting recreational value — not just scenic views.
Northern Idaho and western Montana offer some of the finest big-game hunting terrain in North America — and for a growing segment of buyers, the primary purpose of a land purchase is the hunt. I know these drainages, these ridgelines, and these migration corridors — not from maps, but from years of hunting them. That on-the-ground experience allows me to evaluate hunting properties with a level of credibility and nuance that most agents cannot offer.
Northern Idaho's land market demands an agent who understands the terrain, the resource values, and the recreation opportunities that define a property's true worth. As a consistent top producer specializing in significant acreage holdings, I provide expert guidance for parcels that represent the finest recreational and investment land the region has to offer.
Northern Idaho's rivers and creeks are among the region's most significant land value drivers — for fishing access, water rights, irrigation, and wildlife habitat. With extensive personal experience fishing the region's blue-ribbon waters, I bring a landowner's perspective to evaluating and marketing river and creek frontage properties.
Northern Idaho's land market offers outstanding opportunities for long-term investment, timber income, and resource production — alongside irreplaceable recreational and ranch value. My technical background in construction management and architectural engineering, combined with deep market knowledge, provides genuine insight into land evaluation that goes well beyond comparables and acreage.
