- zuser20171209062055191Jerod Lee was very awesome, the best realtor my husband and I have ever had . My husband sold our 3rd house for almost 21 yrs and he was very professional, friendly, honest, personable and not a fast talker or a game player which my husband and I have had before, he was a fresh of breath air.Jerod made selling our house fast and very easy for us since we have not lived in Idaho for 8 years and was using our house in Boise as a 2 nd home,I highly recommend Jerod as a realtor and when my husband and I do move back to Idaho., I will use Jerod once again,
- frankk7Knowledgeable, responsive, and kind -- Jerod helped us quickly navigate a challenging seller's market in downtown Boise to purchase a condo that hit each of our needs (and most of our wants).Jerod suggested offering a quick close to help bring the seller closer to our preferred price (and it worked!), and his team delivered on getting an inspection done within a few days, organizing Title, utilities, documents, etc... they were so on top of each of the details, in such a short period. Jerod responded to early morning texts and late night calls, and we appreciated his (and team's) expertise at each step.Along with the above, Jerod is wonderful to work with. He was kind and attentive to our young children, friendly and respectful to us, and expecially thoughtful to our COVID concerns. His team left us the wonderful surprise of an Idaho gift basked when we moved in, and Jerod treated us to a celebratory lunch at a cafe down the block. We'll look forward to staying in touch, even when not buying/selling a home.
- YousefNasri8I could not have asked for a better home buying experience. As a first time buyer, I was very nervous and not the most knowledgeable on the process. Jerod is extremely transparent, knowledgeable and a delight to work with. He is communicative in all aspects and will explain anything you want to know about the process. He made my home purchase a breeze and I will gladly work with him again. I highly recommend anybody to work with Jerod for their real estate needs. True professional.
