TESTIMONIALS
“Misty was fantastic. My relocation from Arizona to Idaho took place over a couple of years after the passing of my wife. I took several exploratory trips with Misty researching the greater Boise area as a potential landing place. During that time, Misty kept me updated frequently about available real estate by email, including the observation that prices in Ada County were going up significantly. As part of the process, I was able to identify the type of house I wanted and had chosen Meridian as my preferred destination. During my final journey to Idaho in June 2018, we were able to find the house I am now living in. Thank you, Misty!” ~ paulgnebel
“Misty is the BEST!!!!! And I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family. She always on top of stuff. Sold my house for less than 15 days. She also has great local knowledge and give you great suggestions. I glad that I found her and chose her as my agent. I’m soon will purchase a house and she will be my 1st contact for sure.” ~ bevett88
“Misty helped us purchase our first home. With the lack of knowledge, she was very patient and available 24/7. She made the process very easy. With two kids it is already chaotic, but she was very understanding of what our needs were to find the perfect home. She is kind, patient and very passionate about her job. Would highly recommend her.” ~The Farrias Family
“Working with Misty was a breeze. We were on a time crunch to sell our house and Misty took on the challenge and didn’t let us down. She helped make the process as easy as possible. She was very professional and went above and beyond making sure we were completely satisfied every step of the way. We will definitely be going back to Misty when we return to Idaho and buy our next home.” ~The Mikelson family
“First off I want to say in my experience of buying and selling many homes, Misty has been the best agent I have ever seen. She is the most experienced & knowledgeable. Misty was able to sell our home within weeks. Her communication with the process by the day is so wonderful. Misty has seen every situation there is and will know how to achieve your goals. We were so surprised how fast she gets back to you when you need her she drops everything for you to help you. And she even was able to pick up our mail at our old home for us and bring it to our current home. We would not think of having anybody else but Misty when we buy our new home here in the near future. She is so trustworthy. Our family thanks you Misty!!!!!” ~ The Palacio Family
Misty has helped us sell two of our properties and buy our current home. She is knowledgeable, efficient and organized. She negotiated with contractors on our behalf to address the inspection items for the sale of our last property. She was able to save us a significant amount of money. We sold quickly and closed early. We would recommend Misty to anyone looking to buy or sell. ~ The Forrey Family
Misty came to us after dealing with a nightmare selling our home. Misty was very professional and helped us pick up the pieces and not lose hope. Misty explained everything clearly and didn’t mind re-explaining when we still had questions. Misty went above and beyond and was always there for us when we needed her. She helped us quickly move into a brand new home, which we love! We would use Misty again if we ever chose to move again! We recommend Misty to all our friends and family! ~ The Martinez Family
Misty represented us for our relocation from Chicago to the Boise Area. During the six months we worked with her she attended to our every need and desire for a home. She showed us the entire area made sure we understood what is was like to live in the area and kept us up to date on the entre process. She coordinated the activities of the builder, title and utility companies as well as the state and municipalities involved in the process. She is thoroughly professional, confident, and knowledgeable on the whole area, subdivisions, builders and area attractions and everything someone new to the area needs to know. We were never at a loss for information during the process and she took it upon herself to represent our interests in Boise during the process. Thanks to her our relocation was very smooth and entirely on budget and schedule. We feel privileged and honored to have worked with her and it is our pleasure to know her. She is without a doubt the very best realtor in the Boise Area and we highly recommend her to anyone with a real estate need. We regard her as our realtor for life and a friend. ~ The Mackie’s
Misty helped us through the process of finding a lot, building and buying a new home; she is very professional, courteous, attentive and not pushy. She has an extensive knowledge of the Boise area, and is highly pleasant to deal with, all of which makes her a great bonus to the real estate business–we highly recommend her to anyone. ~ The Alduenda’s
I just wanted to take a minute and say thanks for all your help getting us into the house. You were very professional and knowledgeable about everything. You made it a very easy process and I appreciate that. I’ll send some progress pics when we get stuff done, and will definitely send any recommendations your way! ~ Riggs
Thanks for keeping us on your mailing list. It was good to still hear from you. Surprise (not really), we’re still in Lincoln, NE! FYI, we have looked around but apparently have not been ready to pull a trigger yet. But, the reason we did want to communicate, our experience with you was exceptional. We found you very professional, extremely competent, and high work ethic. I know you may be thinking, why not a sale then? Well, in our minds, you did! Timing and fit were factors (nothing new, right) anyway, keep up the great work and Boise is lucky to have you! ~ Ron and Renee
We had the pleasure of working with Misty while in the early stage of our search to purchase a home that would better accommodate our family. Each time we met with Misty she was friendly and professional. She redefined what “having her clients’ best interest at heart” looks like. Additionally, her expertise was an enormous help at many junctures during the purchase process. My husband and I have had experience with other realtors with previous homes whether buying or selling. We discussed many times how we felt Misty was far and above the best realtor we’ve ever worked with. From the tools she offers to help in the home search though the very end of the process…everything she offers is top notch. After working with her we can’t imagine recommending anyone else! If you’re looking for a great realtor for buying OR selling we highly recommend Misty. ~ The Andersons
She’s competent, professional and really “listens.” Misty knows her business so we felt comfortable following her lead. She didn’t lose track of what we really wanted and needed, even if we did at times. She’s an impressive young woman–polished and professional yet able maintain a sense of humor and have fun. We sold and purchased a home with Misty and she would be the ONLY agent we’d have again. It was a pleasure working with Misty and we highly recommend her. She goes the extra mile for her clients which is rare now days. We were impressed! ~ The Styndas
Worked with Misty for 6 months to sell my home and buy another one. Did both to our full satisfaction. In addition to being market knowledgeable, she has excellent communication skills, and has an outgoing personality that helps make an always stressful process more bearable. Highly recommended! ~The Nahmias’s
I cannot say enough about how much I absolutely loved working with Misty! Not only is she fun to be around, she is professional, honest, knowledgeable, and patient, VERY patient! I’ve dealt with real estate agents in the past that just want to sell you any house and be done with you, not so with Misty. She catered to both my husband’s needs (price and practicality) and my more difficult needs (gut/emotional feeling). I feel like we looked at a zillion (probably closer to 50) houses before we found ‘the one,’ and she didn’t complain, fuss, or even roll her eyes once! She really just wanted to help us find that home we couldn’t say no to! Through the entire process, Misty answered all of my many questions promptly, efficiently, and with brutal honesty at times, which we greatly appreciate. She was on top of everything, and we basically just got to sit back and dream of how we were going to decorate. Of course there’s always a hiccup or two in the process, but Misty was is constant communication with both us and the seller’s agent and she helped make everything run as smoothly as possible. When we eventually decide to move again, Misty is THE agent we will work with! ~ The Briggs
We love Misty and she helped us with everything. I’d recommend her to anyone. The transaction went really smooth because of Misty. She helped us sell our house and then helped us purchase our new one. We’ve had realtors before but Misty took care of everything and went way above what she really had to do. She is patient, kind, caring and a wonderful person. She was very thorough in explaining to us what all was taking place and why. ~ The Culleys
Misty was so fantastic to work with. While our house was for sell my family moved to another country, we were very impressed with how well we were able to keep in contact with what was going on. Misty and her team did a great job letting us know what was happening with everything. When we move back to Boise we will be having Misty help us find a new home, we are very excited to work with her and her team again! ~ The Risings
“I was very impressed by Misty’s work ethic and overall knowledge of the Boise real estate market. She kept me informed on local market trends with monthly updates prior to listing and was always prompt with her responses to my e-mails and phone calls. She provided assistance and guidance which helped me prepare the house for showing, assembled an attractive flyer for distribution to prospective buyers and made full use of high-tech advertising on the internet, which resulted in a larger number of viewings than I thought possible. The house was sold in less than a week after being listed.” –The Beckenhauers
“Misty helped us buy our first home. She made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. She was very knowledgeable and professional, and sweet.” –The Hunts
Misty took great care of me and my family. We were moving from another state and she helped us in all aspects of buying our beautiful home. Misty even took us around Idaho and showed us everything that was fun and interesting. She is very knowledgeable about the area and took her time showing us how great Idaho is. If you’re looking for someone who cares and will take care of you Misty is your realtor! –The Carpenters
Misty is simply fantastic. Her knowledge of market trends, expertise in contracting and negotiations, and her ability to make clients feel like they’re family is unsurpassed. We’ve partnered with Misty to both purchase and sell, and very highly recommend her. –The Walls
Joe and I really appreciate all that you are doing for us in our making the journey through the process of buying a home in Boise. You have gone above and beyond for us! People here cannot believe that we have bought a home that we have not physically seen and gone through. I have always been conservative and cautious at major steps I have taken in my life. With you acting as our representative, I feel comfortable with this. Thank you, so much! Most sincerely, Chris LaTorre
We have really enjoyed the journey to buy a house with you. As first home buyers, we were very scared in the beginning. However, you led us very professionally and trustfully. You are such a wonderful person!!!! Whoever comes in Micron as a new and to buy a house, we will definitely recommend you. Our family really loves you and hopefully we will keep in touch in future. Thanks again for your gift. Love Jason, Kim and Justin
Misty was an absolute dream to work with! She went above and beyond to help my fiancé and I find the perfect home for our needs and our budget. Misty’s support was always helpful, encouraging, and sincere. She went out of her way to make sure we were fully informed on every aspect of the buying process and did an excellent job getting us everything we were looking for. I would recommend Misty to all of my friends and family, and I will definitely use her again if I have real estate needs in the future. Thank you. We still love our home and are extremely grateful that you were able to help us with such an important step in our lives. Love, Matt & Shira
Dear Misty: Here is a BIG thank you for all you did for us these past months. Thanks in large part to you, our long-distance house-hunting and buying experiences were mostly enjoyable. You were always there when we need you—to become familiar with the Boise area, to look at houses, to answer questions, etc., etc. We feel that you have become not only a valued and trusted business person in our lives, but also a good friend. And yes, if we decide to sell or buy another property, you will be hearing from us. Fondly, Lyle and Pat Myers
Over the past year, I have gained a trusting and growing relationship with Misty, Associate Broker, GRI, Certified Relocation Specialist, through Silvercreek Realty Group. I came into the house buying process blind with no knowledge or previous experience. I saw a close friend purchase a home, which made me think why I couldn’t do the same in this economy. After getting pre-approved, I contacted Misty with the help of my mortgage lenders to begin my journey of finding a home. The first time I called Misty, I had a feeling I could trust her to lead me the right direction. She was very knowledgeable and understood that I would have many questions that needed to be answered. From the first call to the first time we met, I was very uneasy and did not know what I was getting myself into. Misty was very friendly and personable, which put my fears at ease. She was understanding and explained each process at hand if I was uncertain. Throughout the entire process, she went above and beyond everything! She worked fast and efficient with giving updates that she had received from other sources. She took time away from her family on the weekends to make my home buying search effective with my schedule. During the many house hunting trips, Misty let me form my own opinions and did not persuade me based on her biases. She let me take in all surroundings to decide if the house was right for me. She never once questioned the number of houses I wanted to look at. Through the houses that were viewed, she always reassured me that house I would buy I would know from the moment I walked in. That statement was proven true when I walked into THE house and the ‘wow factor’ was present. Misty always reassured me this would happen, through times of discouragement among many houses that did not fit. Through the months we viewed houses, she was always willing to fit me in her schedule if a house popped up I wanted to look at. Without her willingness to work with me and her motivation to make my home buying process a success, we would not have found the house I am closing on. Looking at the house the first day on the market, to the next day submitting an offer, was all due to the efficient and organized traits that Misty entails. Throughout my home buying process, she responded quickly to my emails asking for updates and gave me assurance when in doubt about the short sale process. Many times over the last 6 months I questioned if I should continue to wait for a short sale with no deadline. She was willing to explain her experiences to me, which gave me a better understanding about the direction I was heading. Coming from an experience which could have taken a turn for the worst, I recommend Misty to anyone thinking about starting the home buying process. For a quality, educated, realtor who will listen, be honest with you about houses you can afford, and knowledgeable about the entire process, I recommend my realtor, Misty. Thanks, Heather Little
Moving here from Ohio was a scary thing but, having Misty on our side definitely made it a smoother transition. We relied on her professionalism, knowledge and patience. She has the inside scoop on today’s market and is willing to diligently serve no matter what your price point may be. We were so impressed with her skill that we chose her as our realtor to help us purchase our second home. Sincerely, Glenn and Sarah Forney
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Misty over the last couple years, she is a fantastic realtor. Her clients are always educated and well informed and when it’s time for me to come in, she always makes my job look easy. Misty always goes above and beyond for her clients and her team. She is simply fantastic to work with; her professionalism and expertise are top notch. I would definitely recommend Misty as one of the top local realtors.

“Hands down, I would recommend Misty 100 times over. I am very hard to impress, but Misty was exceptional every step of the way. I randomly found Misty online, but noticed that she is a relocation specilaist. We were relocating from Seattle to Boise, so I reached out. I had reached out to Misty along with three other agents. I had let Misty know that it could be up to a year before we move, and that it would probably be a long process of many trips to check out the area. Out of all the agents I contacted, Misty was the only one that continued to keep in touch, send market updates, ask questions about what we wanted, etc. On our first trip to check out the area, Misty drove us around for two days to show us the different towns and neighborhoods, let us know the features of each area, etc. She really listened to what we had told her and showed us over 20 homes- any of which we would have been happy in. We found a home sooner than we had planned. Misty Skyped with us several times to tour the home, she negotiated well on our behalf, she kept tabs on repairs going on in the home, etc. We bought our home without ever stepping foot in it because that is how much we had grown to trust Misty in the few months we worked with her. Our new home is exactly what we wanted, and we couldn’t have done it without Misty, The Gallegos Family, 2019
“Dear Misty: Now that everything is finished with the house, I wanted to take a moment to simply say thank you. You and your group made the process virtually seamless and it is greatly appreciated. Importantly, your recommendation of Waterstone for our mortgage needs was spot on, Carli did a terrific job. Again, thanks and we look forward to seeing/speaking with you soon.” ~ The Haddix Family
“Misty is our realtor for life! She made purchasing a home from out-of-state a breeze! She presented numerous listings that matched our requirements. Misty is kind and trustworthy. Highly recommend! ~ The Harris Family
“Misty was amazing to work with! As first time home buyers in this crazy market, we knew it was going to be harder to find a home in this market. Misty was so helpful every step of the way and after a few offers we finally found the one and had our offer accepted. The market wasn’t easy but Misty made the process a breeze! After our offer was accepted Misty was on top of it and was a huge help all along the way. I highly recommend her!!”
