5 Star Review

Marcello Conigliaro's knowledge of the industry and extreme willingness to go above and beyond has absolutely blown my wife and I away. Never did we think we could get such high attention and service (even after the sale!). If you want the best go to Marcello.

- Chad Young

My husband and I have bought multiple properties with Chad Oakland and have been very pleased by his professionalism and how hard he worked for us. All issues that arose he dealt with quickly and fought hard for us in all transactions.

-Capone

Laurel Jonas is knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. She takes all difficulty and challenges in buying a home and makes them as simple as possible.

-Andrew P.

We loved our experience with Brenna Harrington! She listens, knows the market, works hard for our best interest and is a true professional! We wouldn't have our beautiful home if it had not been Brenna!

- mkwillson

Through the years I have dealt with 12-15 realtors and Leslie Simpson is so far superior to ALL of the other realtors its difficult to put into words. She officially was the sellers realtor but very accurately, responsively addressed every concern and questions we had as buyers. She bent over backwards to try and make both seller and buyer happy, I will for sure work with her if we do any other transactions.

-Buckaroowebb

Kevin Rodland was a great resource in helping us find our dream property!  He is very knowledgeable and willing to work to get answers even if they needed researched!  A real go-getter, quick to correspond and a delightful personality!  Kevin was great to work with in every way and I highly recommend him!

-Shannel Soderbeck

Cody Funk is awesome. Local guy from the cda area who knows everyone and is really easy to work with. Super professional, very knowledgeable and he answers the phone when you call him. He got me into the perfect house in the time frame I wanted which wasn’t a big rush. A no pressure buying experience. I will call him when buying my next home for sure

-Forrest Walker

Heidi Acuff is an amazing real estate agent. She is very professional, attentive to detail, and very easy to work with. Her knowledge of the industry was incredible. She helped us find the perfect home while selling our existing home. She was always accessible with a smile on her face! We would recommend her highly!

-Cheryl

Marie Nail is knowledgeable, personable, and is dedicated to her clients. She helped connect me to other professionals necessary for the home purchasing process as well as provided timely responses and follow up phone calls to realtors to answer any and every question I had. Highly recommend!

-Amy T.

Forrest Schuck's guidance with sale of 1328 Main St. was very clear and left none of my questions or concerns unanswered. He was very mindful of the emotion involved with the sale of my deceased parent's home. His calm direction and concise wisdom lead to a very seamless process. I highly recommend Forrest. Extremely trustworthy and confident - two strong qualities that he shared.

-Danielle

Briana Shaw is a true professional and I recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.  This is the second time I have worked with her-the first time when purchasing my home five years and most recently when selling.  As a first-time seller, I consider myself fortunate to work with Briana. She provided specific details and suggestions that helped prepare my home for sale. With her expertise, I received an offer within 24 hours of listing.  I highly recommend her to anyone.  

-Amy Light Ramage

Marcello Conigliaro went above and beyond to ensure a seamless, efficient transaction. He was easy to work with, always on top of things, and made many excellent recommendations based his years of experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a first-class real estate experience.

-Aaron Chalmers

Professional, honest, great local connections! Great availability, with quick response time. Nothing but good experiences working with Alison Murphy! Highly recommend!

-Adam

Jeremy Brown is honest, accommodating, and fair. He is down to earth, straight forward, and knows the area like the back of his hand. I can without a doubt recommend him for any real estate needs. He's provided more than excellent service for my whole family, and not one of us would consider going to anyone else. The next time you need a real estate agent, don't hesitate to contact Jeremy Brown.

-Melissa Tucker

Robin Bundy kept us informed on multi-family real estate daily.  This is the 3rd property we have used Robin for in the last few months.  We will keep using Robin for additional purchases.  Properties have been closing on time with no problems; we will still purchase a few more this year and a few more next year. 

-Tim & Heather

Jared Ban both sold our previous home and helped purchase and build a new one this year. He was there with us every step of the way. Jared goes above and beyond your standard agent. He is very knowledgeable of the area and I would recommend him! #wewenttojared

-ashleymorin64

Thank you Alison Murphy! You are by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. I am so thankful I hired you to represent me in selling our Schweitzer house. You were professional from start to finish, and I never had to worry about your communication or the way you handled clients. I would recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you again for everything! 

-Bob E.

Jeremy Knoll does a great job representing his clients.  He is a great communicator, and his experience really helps through the construction process.  He is kind and truly cares about setting proper expectations and getting people into their new homes as stress-free as possible.

-Teresa Jo Dean

Leslie Simpson provided us with buyers' agent services while we searched for just the right lot to build our home in Idaho. She's personable, professional and organized. She found a spectacular lot for us on Hayden Lake, worked quickly on the negotiations and followed through to insure that we had a smooth closing.

-Liz Rondeau

Great experience working with these folks. Bill Graves is on top of it, he knows the market well, and he listens to the needs of his clients. He found me a gem and I know for a fact I would have never gotten the deal I did working with someone else. This market is HOT, hire him so you're not wasting time.

- P Browder

Best Realtor I have ever dealt with. He was so good we bought our property "sight unseen!"  Excellent choice of house for our current needs.  Using Forrest Shuck again for land and property buys.  Great job all around.  We are excited to benefit form his knowledge, skill and professionalism for our next buy!

-Brent and Jennifer

Chris Fillios was great to work with. He listened to us and respected our financial boundaries and our desires for a home. He was always willing to spend time and never made us feel rushed when viewing a home. Chris knows the North Idaho area and definitely provided valuable insight in our search. I would highly recommend Chris Fillios to anyone. You will NOT be disappointed.

-Cindy

Alison Murphy was extremely professional. She always provided great communication, and quick answers and I always felt like I was up to date. I always felt like she was working hard and had my best interests in hand. I highly recommend!

-bikenerd7b

Jeremy Brown went above and beyond as out listing agent. We live out of state and decided to look into selling our Idaho property. Jeremy answered all of our questions and provided a detailed market analysis to help us decide on asking price. He took excellent photos, had them professionally edited, and wrote a compelling and detailed listing description. Our property sold quickly and for a price we were very happy with. Jeremy was always available by phone and did a great job communicating with us. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who's thinking of buying or selling.

-Misty Simmons

Chad Oakland is one of the best agents out there.  After our house sat on the market for 6 months with another agent, we hired Chad, who sold it in 3 weeks.  He then, helped us find a rental while our new house was being finished.  Chad went above and beyond what we would have expected from an agent. 

-Ashley Spencer

Joel Olson your service was fantastic.  Everything was done promptly and by the book.  No complaints at all.  We always got all our questions and concerns answered.  Made selling easy and low stress. 

-Kyle & Stephanie

Cody Funk sold our home in a fast and professional manner. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cody to anyone without reservation. Having bought and sold numerous other properties throughout the years, I have to say that this particular transaction was one of the easiest and most pleasant of all.

-Seth Raymon

Forrest Shuck was very focused on our needs and was very timely with all of his communications.  He understood the local market and had a real connection the community.  We heard some real positive recommendations from our friends regarding Forrest so that is what drove us to call him.  We would highly recommend Forrest.

-Paul

I would highly recommend Briana Shaw to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.  As a first time home buyer, I had a long list of questions and concerns, and Briana was knowledgeable and understanding and always made me feel like I was her number one priority during the entire process.  She worked tirelessly to ensure we get a great deal on our purchase, one that we could feel great about.  Her experience made us feel comfortable with the decision we were making, and her easy going demeanor made the entire process more fun than stressful. I can't say enough good things about her and have no doubt she works just as had for all of her clients.

-Nina d Keczer

Joel Olson brought buyers to a listing of mine in Spirit Lake. There were some challenges in getting it through closing but I was impressed by Joel's abilities and in the end despite the lender making some significant mistakes we were able to work together to close the deal for my seller and Joel's buyers.  A job well done and I would recommend Joel Olson and his services.

-Ryan Anstett

I have purchased homes since 1995 and my experience with Marcello Conigliaro was second to none! He was always professional, but still made us feel like family. He made sure we understood every part of the process and gave us tips on what to watch for. I would highly recommend Marcello to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.

-Don Gay

I have used Chad Oakland almost exclusively since 2000. He is very knowledgeable of our local market and follows each transaction in detail until it closes. As a retired real estate broker, I know how customers should be treated and Chad's responsiveness is exemplary.

-Gridley

Laurel Jonas is a fantastic Realtor. Buying and selling a home can bring a lot of emotions especially in an up and down market that changes from week to week. She kept us grounded through the ups and downs with her real estate expertise and it paid off in the end.

-Lee Smith

Kevin Rodland is so incredible! He walked us through the purchase of our house and made us feel informed and well represented. We knew he was going to have the best strategy to get us the most for our money. We will recommend him to everyone and would not use anyone else for the future.

-Amy

Jared Ban is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and pleasant to work with. He goes above and beyond for his clients to remove unnecessary that naturally comes along any home purchase or refinance. His follow up skills are impeccable as well! Jared has helped our family out in so many ways, such as selling numerous plots of land in a short time!

-ambermariepaul3

Joel Olson has been patient, understanding and far beyond our expectations in all aspects of the home buying process.  We could not ask for a more responsive or helpful realtor.

-Jim & Becky

A few years ago when the market wasn’t so great for sellers Cody Funk was able to sell my parents’ house in 2 weeks when others had tried for months. This is the reason I chose Cody to be my agent. He broke his record with my family and I had a full-price offer on my house in 2 days. He’s highly motivated. He kept me informed every step of the way and was always available for questions. I highly recommend Cody.

-C Vinsant

Robin Bundy was immediately responsive to our needs.  When we changed paths, he immediately adapted.  Even anticipating our needs!

-Dave &Tacy

Marcello and his team at Northwest Realty Group are the consummate professionals. Marcello never missed a beat and was always ahead of the selling curve. He was so easy to deal with and knew the answers to all of our questions, there were no hesitations. My wife and I couldn’t have been more pleased.
-Scott & Judith

Marie did an outstanding job of helping us find the right property. She was very professional and made sure we understood the process.
Her follow through throughout the buying process helped us get the deal done.

-Mark D.

I cannot say enough about Alison Murphy.  She has been my realtor on multiple purchases and sales of homes in Sandpoint, Idaho.  She is the definition of pro.  I know she is busy but she never made me feel second.  Her communication was always fast and honest.  I admire someone in her position that can tell me candidly what she thinks even when it may not be to her personal benefit.  She provided me with the facts but was always courteous enough to respect my personal decision making abilities.  Time is money and we are all busy.  Alison respected my time and went above and beyond in all aspects.  True pro...  I highly recommend!!!  I'll never use another realtor.

-Becky

Working with Kevin Rodland made finding and purchasing our dream property an absolute pleasure. It's one thing to find someone incredibly knowledgeable (he is!), it's another to find someone you can totally trust (you can!). I can't say enough good things about him and his team. No question who we will work with next time we are looking to buy or sell. 

-Morgan Wood

Alison was outstanding. We were in the market for a vacation home in Idaho and got connected to her through our local realtor in Louisiana. We made a 3 day trip up to Sandpoint to check out the area, with the intention of finding out if it was the place for us. Alison set up a call to learn about me, our family, and what we were looking for a few weeks prior to our visit. From there she curated a list of homes for us to visit and worked around our schedule to make sure she devoted an entire day or more of her time for us. Her local knowledge and professionalism was second to none. She even offered up her boat to give us a tour of the lake! Alison also sent over a dozen or so recommendations of hikes, restaurants, and other activities for us during our visit. The experience continued after we found a house and made an offer. From lining up inspections, taking more pictures, going by the house all while we were remote, she made the home buying experience seamless. After closing she continues to be an asset to us, and has answered any and all questions we have had and lined us up with multiple other local experts (Boat dealer, concierge services, landscapers, contractors, etc) in an effort to make our purchase and experience at Sandpoint enjoyable. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.

- Jeff E

My wife and I would like to thank Bill Graves for helping us find the home we were looking for. I know this was not an easy thing to do. Your diligence and professionalism was above what we could have ever hoped for. I truly believe, if it had been anyone else, our dream home would not have come true. I would never hesitate to recommend you to anyone for their real estate need

 -Wes and Joanne

Marcello Conigliaro is the best. We have worked with him many times and referred him to our friends. He has always gone above and beyond for us and we highly recommend him.

-Casey Eisenbrandt

Chad Oakland did a fabulous job communicating the available options as we watched lake properties for several years. When the perfect home and opportunity came together he was a real pro in getting the job done!! We love , love, love our home, location and neighbors. Thank you Chad! And all who are looking for a great guy to help you find the perfect home for you and your family.

-Nano

It was a pleasure working with Laurel Jonas on the sale of my home. Laurel did her homework before she arrived and had a plan of action completely prepared. Laurel's acumen in real estate business is sharp and her plan came to fruition in 13 days. Beyond her aggressive business skills, Laurel is very personable with a beautiful sweetness and glow about her that is radiant. I highly recommend Laurel for the sale of your house. She's awesome! Thanks so much Laurel!

-Jill Keats

Great experience working with Heidi Acuff finding the right home to purchase. She is professional, friendly and very helpful from start to finish. Heidi listened to what we wanted then found several options to show us in our price range. She was and still is accessible to help with any of our questions.

-Chris

Kevin Rodland is easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable of the area. He always provided both pros and areas to look out for when viewing homes, HOAs, builders and property location. I appreciated his experience and knowledge as I was an out-of-state buyer. Kevin was always prepared when doing a showing and was able to get all my questions answered. I highly recommend Kevin for any of your real estate needs. 

-Debbie Bettencourt

I worked with Joel Olson for the purchase of this home two years ago and the sale of it recently. Both times he made the process seamless, efficient, and as stress-free as possible. I always recommend Joel to people looking for the perfect real estate agent!

-Kori

When the time came to sell a family home in Coeur d’Alene Idaho I turned to some local friends and family for a referral, as a result Briana Shaw from Northwest Realty came highly recommended. Since I personally live and work thousands of miles away I knew selling this home remotely was going to be a challenge. I was very pleased to soon learn I could not have picked a better real estate agent. Briana was truly up to this task! She was extremely personal, professional and knowledgeable in her approach to selling this home. Briana’s communication skills were key to our success. She reached out to me every step of the way, keeping me informed and answering every question I had. I relied extensively on her advice and could not have been more pleased with the results. In spite of the subzero temperatures and continuous snow on the ground in northern Idaho Briana got this home sold in 90 days. Thank You Briana for a job well done!!

-David Amundson

When Cody Funk looked at our house he told us what we should list the sales price at and we thought it was high. Within two days the house was sold. Then Cody and his assistant helped us find a place to move to. We couldn't be happier with how it all worked. Now we live in an over 55 park and loving it. Cody walked us through all stages of closing the deals. If we had any questions at any time all we had to do was call and get the answers. We can highly recommend Cody as a real estate agent.

-busypartyplanner

Thank you Alison Murphy for your expertise, determination and dedication to selling my mom's house. This was a more complicated situation that required a different strategy. I am so thankful I had you representing me during this time. If I didn't live on the other side of the country, I would definitely use you as a realtor again in the future. Thank you again and best wishes in life!

-Danielle

We loved working with Jeremy Brown! He was always on top of everything and had  great communication. His flexibility and transparency was so appreciated because we were moving from out of state and he helped everything go smoothly. He definitely deserves a 5 star review. Thanks Jeremy Brown! 

-Clarity L. 

Bill Graves was absolutely fantastic to work with. We had a different realtor for the sale of our home. To put it mildly, it was a stressful nightmare. We thought that was just the way it is. Then we met Bill when we were ready to purchase our new home. We braced for the stress to begin. It never came. Bill took care of EVERYTHING. My advice, get with Bill early in the process. Use anyone he recommends for financing, inspections and closing etc. The relationships he has will make the process go smooth.  He literally took care of everything. Any hiccups that could possibly happen, he was all over it. I would recommend Bill Graves to anyone. You can’t go wrong with Bill in my opinion.

-Rebecca Bradley

Marcello Conigliaro takes his profession to a standard of excellence that is unmatched. the knowledge, accuracy, communication, and speed at which he works for us is incredible. My experience with Marcello Conigliaro is 5 star, twenty four seven three sixty five!

-Brad Compton

We used Laurel Jonas when we bought our home, and we used her again when we sold it 5 years later. She is very straightforward and personable. She knows her market and what price to ask for your home. You know you have a good agent when both buying and the selling seem easy and stress free. Thanks again for all you did for us. We wish you the best in the years to come.

-Lionel Rumancik

Joel Olson is extremely knowledgeable not only about the local market, but real estate in general.  He always gave us good advice and looked out for our best interests.  His assistant, Shelley was also a joy to work with.

-Michael & Sheila R.

I reached out to Alison Murphy by email and she responded quickly to my inquiry although we had never met. She demonstrated a deep knowledge of the Schweitzer market and has skied the mountain for years. Alison stayed on top of every issue through the offer process, home inspection and closing. She has followed up post-close to check on our experience in the new home. We've worked with more than a dozen realtors over the years and she is simply the best we've encountered!

- Mike Covey

Kevin Rodland is a phenomenal realtor! He came highly recommended and lived up to his reputation at every point in the house buying process. He helped coordinate our purchase while we lived out of state, previewing numerous properties and helped us find our dream home! He is extremely patient, knowledgeable and detail oriented and has developed an excellent reputation within the real estate community. He is trustworthy, reliable and an excellent communicator which made our experience so much easier than we were expecting. We could not recommend Kevin more highly!

-Ryan

Marcello at Northwest Realty Group made the purchase of our new home easy and actually enjoyable. He is experienced and extremely knowledgeable. His response to our questions or concerns was always prompt and reassuring. We would highly recommend him!

- Lynne C.

I would recommend Jeremy Brown to anyone moving to the Sandpoint area. He is knowledgeable, prompt, and makes your buying process as smooth as possible. He truly goes above and beyond to provide amazing service. Couldn't be happier with my decision to go with Jeremy Brown!

-Nader E.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Bill Graves for the past 25 years.  During that time Bill and I have worked on numerous real estate projects.  Bill has helped me buy 2 homes including the home I currently live in.  If you are looking for an agent that is great at listening to what your needs and wants and pays attention to the smallest of details, then Bill is your guy. 

-Jack Forsythe

My wife and I never met Cody Funk but after just a few minutes with him on the phone, I had a good feeling about working with him. With us being out of state at the time, I was a little apprehensive. Cody provided accurate comps to help us price our house competitively. We had a full price offer with in a day of signing with Cody. Cody utilized his connections to have some work done on the house prior to and during the sale at a reasonable price. Cody went the extra mile to handle a few logistical tasks in our absence. Cody was always quick with providing updates as escrow progressed. Fastest, smoothest sale of a home I've ever experienced.

- jsza

I have bought multiple properties whether personal or business over the years. Joel is by far the most knowledgeable, kindest and professional agents I have ever worked with. They both make you feel comfortable & confident in your purchase. Treat you as though you were family and are there for you throughout the purchase/closing process’s. You would do well to let them serve your real estate needs. They are truly the best!
