I have lived for 20 years in a rental managed by R & L. Whenever there's any kind of issue with…read morethings like plumbing, appliances, snow removal, or concern over a dying tree, they respond very quickly to address the problem. I've always appreciated the peace of mind this gives me, but I'm writing a review now because they recently went above and beyond with service. I was in Germany when the recent (Jan. 2024) arctic front hit. I e-mailed R & L and asked whether they could enter my house, check on things, and do all the things we do to keep pipes from freezing. They responded immediately with, "Yes, of course." On the day I arrived home, Spokane was hit with record snowfall. Yet by the time got to Sandpoint, all snow had been cleared in driveways and parking areas near the house and I could drive right into my garage. Frozen pipes all over the county but all is well in my home.

They were there when I had a problem, took care of it immediately, and even typically did more than what I had even anticipated. If you are thinking of renting a place, I would not hesitate for a second to rent from these guys. If you are looking to have someone manage your home, they will take care if it like it is their own. Wonderful people, and I truly miss renting from them.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Amber to sell our Idaho property. The sale had some…read morechallenges due to location and multiple family members involved. Amber did an amazing job of mitigating those challenges and persevering to get the sale completed. She went above and beyond with her efforts to get the property on the market and staying on top of interested buyers. Even with the challenging buyers, Amber remained calm, cool and extremely patient with them and the process. We felt that our interests and needs were met, and we would absolutely use her again if we needed real estate assistance in the area. Highly recommended!

She is absolutely an "area expert", with tremendous local knowledge and insight into the market. Amber is a person of integrity, and works diligently on behalf of her clients. She has excellent attention to detail and is thorough in her follow-up. I trust Amber completely, and consider her to be a VALUED PARTNER in helping my wife and I accomplish our north Idaho real estate goals. Without any reservation, I would highly recommend Amber!

This review is long overdue, but nevertheless strongly felt. Paul Reisen represented us in a very…read moredifficult 1031 exchange, and he handled every aspect superbly. Some RE agents just get in the way of deals and collect their fee, but Paul guided and advised expertly from start to finish. He is a well known and well respected insider in the greater Sandpoint area and so he was able to show us the home of our dreams and, more importantly, use his connections to get us into the deal and get it closed. Paul put us in touch with a 1031 facilitator and selling agent in San Diego with whom he had a track record, and kept the Sandpoint seller on board while the transaction unfolded. I was a top commercial real estate broker in San Diego so I know good service when I see it, and Paul Reisen is the best.

I would like to post a review for Mistie Kinney, Associate Broker with Realm in Sandpoint. I've…read morebought and sold numerous properties in my life and I've had many realtors I've worked with. With absolutely no exaggeration, I would say that Mistie is far and away the best realtor I've ever worked with. She listed my home in Sandpoint and stayed in contact with me with every showing. I never had to guess as to what was taking place with those showings because Mistie was always relaying the information so I was aware of everything that was taking place. And my home sold in 9 days with a price that was completely satisfactory. I wish I could give her 10 stars, but 5 seems to be the highest I can post.

For a year and a half, as we waited for our house in Oregon to sell so we could make the move, every time we came to visit, Tom would take us out to see all the properties he thought we would like. All at once things fell together, our house sold, Tom had found us our dream home, we had made an offer... With us 600 miles south busy packing and selling our own home, Tom took care of everything on this end for us! His patience, knowledge of the area, professionalism and attention to detail made the whole experience such a joy that when we finally got settled in our incredible new home, I came to work for him! Hoping I can make others experience as great as he made ours!

If you elect to use Todd, the main thing you need to know is that TODD WANTS TO BE THE ALPHA. If…read moreyou elect to go with Todd as your agent, it will be clear in his mind, and eventually in yours, that you're expected to work for Todd, not the other way around. I regret signing with him. Were it not for the ultra competitive market that North Idaho is, I would have run the contract out on him and waited for another agent. In the end, he got a huge commission for a house that I found, negotiated the price on and coordinated all the inspections on. TODD DID NOT EVEN SHOW ON THE DAY WE TOOK POSSESSION OF THE HOME. Before I list the reasons you may want to avoid using him as a real estate, you should know he's a good patriot. He's pro military, law enforcement and 2A and checks all those boxes - which is why you may be inclined to use him as your agent. Know this. It's North Idaho. 90% of everyone there has those same feelings, even if they don't go around reminding you of it every time you meet. If your choice is between an agent that will research properties, be in it for the long haul and not rep two other sets of buyers on the same house he's rep'ing you on, go with the other agent. Here are some of my experiences: 1) I don't think Todd wants to be agent. He has a range on his property and that is his passion. If you offer him some type of use, some type of marketability, perhaps a discount on gun related items, a chance to claim he knows you, then you'll be taken care of. If not, you'll be a lesser priority. 2) Todd will push hard for you sign an exclusive representation agreement whether you are a seller or a buyer. But he will not pay you the same courtesy when he has multiple clients offering on the same property. In my case, he told me that his other clients competing for the same property were out when they were not, told me a seller wouldn't take me as a backup offer when he hadn't even submitted an offer and then I found out that one of his clients with more use to him...one of the ones he specifically told me was out of the running...got the buy over me. 3) Don't be surprised that if the situation in #2 happens, you will be steered to another property he has in mind, but not one you want. It sure looks like rather than one sale, he can get commissions on two sales. 4) Todd doesn't seem to have a good relationship with most of the other realtors in the area. He often talked negatively about them to me. I once was asked who my realtor was by a well known local. When I said it was Todd, the local told me that he'd never heard of Todd. 5) Todd listens okay. He'll hear what you want to buy, but if you change your mind, he'll talk down to you telling you that what you are now asking for isn't what you originally asked for. He sent me the same houses over and over despite me telling him the first time he sent them that I didn't like them. He'll send you houses well outside your price range to prove he is looking for you. You could tell him one month that a certain house is a definite NO, and he'll agree but the next month he'll send you an email of possible buys with that same house, telling you he found a winner for you. 6) Speaking of house finding, as a realtor he has access to MLS and homes coming on market before they hit Realtor.com and Zillow.com. I couldn't count on him to search MLS before the other realtors did. You need a North Idaho realtor who will work MLS daily, identifying potential matches before those listings hit the masses on the real estate apps. 7) He mentions his confidential database but beware. It wasn't long before I realized he was representing multiple buyers on the houses I was after. He confused the dollar amounts repeatedly on my offers. These were classic cut and paste errors. He once sent me another buyer's inspection report for a property that he was rep'ing me on as buyer. When I called him on it, he became defensive and phoned it in the rest of our contract. 8) Proofread everything Todd completes. Errors that I frequently observed were typos, grammar, incorrect dollar amounts and PROPERTY ADDRESSES! 9) Communication is average. He doesn't use reply all or group texts, even if you ask. Todd almost always left someone out in a reply, a text or an email for my multiple buyer group. Prepare to be frustrated...and miss a deal opportunity. And I still haven't heard from him to check in and see how things are with the new home. He must not be in the long game. 10) Pricing and strategy. He didn't pull comps to show us what an offer should look like. Not once. 11) Messy. The seller of our home was pissed after Todd went through it. How do I know? I heard about it the day I got the keys, the day Todd no showed. It says a lot that it I ever need to sell, I'll use the sellers agent and not Todd. Last note. He's his own broker. If things go south with him, you have no one to complain to.
