A friend of mine recommended Raina Gabbard as I asked around for names when it came time to sell my house. I am not a difficult person to deal with, but I do have a few rules. Number one is prompt and thorough follow up to my questions. This is usually gauged by a person's reply to my initial contact. I leave a message or call with a specific question and I wait for an answer. Raina’s response was not only immediate, but she had answers to my questions and asked a few of her own, she was interested in my business and not just trying to “seal the deal”. Number two is listening to my needs. I told Raina that I was not wanting to participate in every moment of my sale. I was selling a house I did not want and I just wanted it to be done. Throughout the sale she updated me as a matter of course rather than with each development. I am sure if I requested a blow by blow accounting she would have been equally accommodating. And third- above all be honest. I might not like your information or your opinion, but I value it. I never had to dig for Raina’s take on the situation. She was straight at every turn. For those reasons alone I would recommend Ms. Gabbard and her company Homes N Boise Realty, but let me tell you a little more. Raina prepared my house, my paperwork, my property, and my mental state before we put the house on the market. I wanted to rush it, she wanted to do it right. And she was right. I had offers and a bidding war and a contract in one day. (And believe me this place was not a “sells itself jewel”) one day and we were there. Then we had a chance encounter with the county and a little mix up that was almost 20 years old. Raina went above and beyond. A little paperwork became county meetings, one client became neighborhood contacts, a small fee became engineers and survey teams. At each turn Raina explained, was on top of each step and even was in a position to educate the county. What started as a simple sale with an uninterested client evolved into a hell of lot of red tape. And not once was I at a loss for an explanation on where we were and where we had to go. Long story short I closed on my house with a different buyer (but he was in the bidding on day one so no need to ever put the house back on the market) with a new land plat, and a realtor that was there in ways I never expected. I cannot begin to express my level of respect and my favorable impression of Ms. Gabbard. I have never written a review or a recommendation for a company or a business person. I could not miss this opportunity to do so here!

Kate Baldwin

Raina was referred to me by my sister in law. From the time I made first contact with Raina, she had been diligent in finding me the perfect home! There was never a call or email that was unanswered. She worked well with my lender and my local escrow company and kept me informed of the current status. I highly recommend her services to anyone wanting to sell or purchase a home! Thank you for a job well done! Rudy

Raina has now handled 3 real estate transactions for us. We have been in our new house now for a week and we just love it. I am so glad Raina kept telling me “be patient; the right house will come along.” She was absolutely correct! In every transaction she has handled for us Raina has been friendly, professional and very competent. She always goes the extra mile. Raina has also helped 2 of our children and several friends either buy or sell a house. They have had nothing but positive things to say about the services they received from both Raina and Cindie. Whenever we think about real estate we think of Raina. When we wanted to sell property outside of Boise we contacted her and she referred us to an agent in that area, which worked out very well.

Jak & Judy Krieger

Buying a house can be pretty stressful. Cindie was awesome. She was honest and straight forward about the process. She was tenacious when needed. I felt like she was always looking out for my best interest.

Jodi Adcock

Selling our home, Cindie made it so easy. She handled all the details and covered all the bases. This is the second home that Cindie has sold for us. She is great. Would highly recommend her and Raina.

Pat & Roger Waldon

Raina did an outstanding job. We can't think of a thing she could do better!

Jak & Judy Krieger

Selling our house with Homes N Boise Realty was a great decision because Raina made it seem so easy. She is thorough, made sure we were kept informed, and very knowledgeable of the market. Our house sold quickly! Thank you, Raina Gabbard!

Dan & Tammy Jackson

If you are looking for a team that treats you like family and goes above and beyond to make buying AND selling a home as seamless as possible, then Raina and Cindie are the team for you. I cannot say enough amazing things about these two ladies... truly a once in a life time experience. They put you first and always ensure every step of the way that you are informed and best yet, comfortable. Amazing business ethics and drive. Do yourself a favor and let Homes N Boise Realty show you what it's like to be treated during one of the most important times in your life.

Crystal Fisher

Raina is an awesome real estate agent. She even went above (and I mean that literally) and beyond to help us inspect the property. When an inspector came but couldn't get in the attic, she climbed up into it for us to relate everything she saw to the expert.

Roger & Julie Cox

Raina Gabbard is an amazing agent! She was very thorough in every step of the way. She made sure as a first time home buyer that I was prepared for every step in the process even providing a checklist of each step. Raina was always available to answer my questions. She really takes the time to get all the information and research the property. It really shows she has been in the business long enough to make great connections and her referrals were spot on including a different lender, insurance and inspectors. I am truly happy she was in my corner and feel I got the best possible experience in buying my home.

Jennifer Taylor

Cindie and Raina have done it again! They have helped me sell another home! They are so knowledgeable and experienced at what they do that I keep coming back. They make sure that whether I am buying or selling I get the best deal possible. Thank you ladies!

Juli Stacy

Raina kept us up to date almost daily on the status of our sale. She is always pleasant and unflappable and really knows her area and her properties. I recommend her highly for her outstanding service to her clients.

Kathy & Charlie Noneman

Cindie is great! We looked at a lot of homes with Cindie. We made an offer on a home without us seeing the home (we live out of state). The house is perfect. Cindie was very helpful in finding people to do work after sale. We would use Cindie again.

Bob & Margi Cunningham

Raina was the BEST!! She was professional and knowledgeable. Our property sold quickly and she kept us informed of the process and the progress toward closing. We also felt like she was there for us and as Sellers we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend her. Thank You .

Dave & Diana Logan

We undertook a cross country move from Florida to Boise, Idaho and were referred to Cindie Stacy by our realtor in Tampa. From the beginning, we felt comfortable working with Cindie. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and thorough, and advised us on every aspect of the home finding and buying process from beginning to end. With Cindie's help, we were able to find the right house for our family, in the right neighborhood, and at the right price point, and Cindie was instrumental in advising us throughout the negotiations, and then until we reached settlement. I would not hesitate to recommend Cindie Stacy to anyone seeking to sell or buy a home in Idaho's Treasure Valley.

Bryan & Ana Kurland

Raina is a Miracle Worker in the field of Real Estate!!! My wife and I were looking for a home in a specific school district, and submitted an offer on one. The very next morning, Raina called us and said she had a feeling that the district boundaries were going to change in 2017 and the home would be in a different district. She was right!!! We cancelled the contract. Working with Raina was awesome. She was incredibly helpful in getting us into a beautiful home that perfectly fit our wants, needs and desires. She always kept us updated on every step of the purchase process, and gave us references to service providers, who themselves were top notch in their professionalism and customer service. If I could give Raina 10 stars, I would.

Jerry & Jeanette Cox

Cindie Stacy & Raina Gabbard with Homes N Boise Realty, LLC have helped me buy my first home and now my 3rd home! I keep coming back to them because they are wonderful to work with and strive to make sure I find the right home for the right price! As my family grows I have needed to expand and they help make that possible. Also, when my In-Laws passed away Raina & Cindie sold the home and helped me through a very difficult time. They really understand what great customer service is and always exceed my expectations!

Bobby & Juli Frontino

Dear Raina, Just to let you know how much I appreciate your handling the sale of my house in Boise. I'm sure not everyone would have completed the sale as easily and soon as you did with the complications we encountered! Thank you for your patience with a sometime forgetful older lady.

Royce Kyle

Raina Gabbard is a true professional. She recently listed and sold a home for our family in Boise and her service from our first contact to closing was exemplary. Raina took care of every little detail following through and delivering a truly incredible experience. We would highly recommend Raina Gabbard to care for any of your real estate needs. Deb Hooker - Daughter

Carol Leach

Our parents passed away and we needed help and guidance in selling their home. It was a fixer upper and Raina helped us get multiple offers to choose from. She made sure we were not taken advantage of and we are so thankful we had her on our team!

The Frontino Estate

Being a first time homebuyer, this was daunting, to say the least. With Raina by my side, I felt like I was not only supported but a priority every step of the way. Raina ensured that nothing was overlooked, no matter how small and was ALWAYS there to answer any questions I had. Raina was not only a great partner throughout this but in the end, ended up being a mentor as well. If you would like your home buying experience to be a happy one, she will make it happen!

Crystal Fisher

I worked with Raina to sell my parents' home while I was out-of-state. She managed to guide us through to closing in record time--less than 45 days. She was available to answer all of my questions, facilitated the transaction with me being 1,000 miles away and had recommendations to address every contingency. I highly recommend her.

The Henderlider Family

Raina was very helpful with a difficult situation. She was able to provide us with contractors to get quotes to get the house sellable and worked with us to get it done.

Lena Marrs

They are amazing, helpful and knowledgeable about almost everything pertaining to buying property in and around Boise. If they don't know the answer they will find it. They go the extra mile to help you out. They are friendly and happy. They were not our realtors when we purchased our first home here. They worked with the sellers. After we bought the house they helped us for several months while we got moved to Idaho. I highly recommend them. We were so impressed with them, we signed with them to find another property.

Rick & Juanita Harder

Raina and Cindie represented me in both a home sale and purchase. They made recommendations for staging, home improvements and price point that made my home sell faster than I ever expected it to. While working on my new home purchase they recommended wonderful business partners to work with that made mortgage approval a painless process. Raina even called after the purchase to remind me to file my homeowners exemption in time! I highly recommend working with Raina and Cindie. I can't say enough good things about this team of real estate professionals.

Kristina Chaves

They were very professional and gave us sound advice on the sale and purchase of a home. They came highly recommended from a friend and I understand why.

Wes Krenning

Went through the process of evaluating an investment property for me. It was listed promptly. Several other investors/agents reviewed the info and felt the price was too high. They were wrong. Offers and counters were made and in approx. 2 weeks the property was sold. Closed with the buyers and everyone seemed happy with the outcome. All aspects of the process went smoothly.

Robert Bivin

23 years ago we bought our first home from Cindie Stacy. As 1st time home buyers, we knew nothing - but Cindie was amazing and we couldn't have been happier. As our family grew, we needed more space and once again turned to Cindie in search of our new home. Her knowledge and experience found us exactly what we were looking for and we made many memories in a home our children grew up in. 23 years later, in search of our retirement home we again called Cindie who introduced us to Raina. Raina is professional, honest, knowledgeable and pays close attention to detail. She found us exactly what we were looking for and well within our price range. She made the process of buying and selling a home ridiculously easy. She has a great sense-of-humor and is a joy to be around. In fact, not only are Cindie and Raina our life time realtors - but feel like lifetime friends. I can't say Thank You enough to these two ladies!! If you need a realtor - Call them!! You will NOT be disappointed. - Scott and Shelva

Scott & Shelva Guadette

We have dealt with Cindie and Raina on 4 occasions now and are very impressed with their business. Sometimes it's the little things. Raina spent over 6 hours toting us around town this last time looking at several different homes/builders/areas. To top it off, when we closed, they gifted us a personalized front door mat and a very nice personalized metal container with about 20 bottles of water in it. Just about any realtor can help you find a home, but these two definitely make it a personal mission to please.

Walter & Chari Ghrist

I've worked with Raina Gabbard for over 10 years to buy and sell multiple properties. She has never let me down. Raina's professionalism and knowledge speaks for itself. Her excellent communication takes you through the buying and selling steps in a logical and thoughtful way. Raina listens, evaluates, and carries through the sale - start to finish - with no details left undone. She gives you a realistic evaluation of the marketplace so you can be confident if you are buying or selling. I've learned a lot over the years about the importance of home maintenance and having a clean, neat, working presentation to sell your home at it's best. Face it, buyers don't want to buy a mess unless they are looking for a fixer upper. Most buyers want to have a home move-in ready because as we all know moving is a lot of work. Move-in ready is clean flooring, everything dusted, clean working light fixtures, painted, scrubbed and all repairs completed. The yard needs to be mowed, sidewalks shoveled of snow if winter, clean, safe no debris. Speaking of safety, for buyers to qualify for some loans the home must be safe with no tripping hazards, chipped paint, etc. For me personally, I want to sell a clean, nice home that the new buyer is going to love. On the other hand, sellers need to be a step ahead before your home inspection is scheduled. Try to forsee what the inspector will be looking for so that it is not an issue at the time of the sale. Everything must be in working order and the house must be maintained. Raina is a great teacher and you can count on her advice whether you are buying or selling.

Nancy Wickman

When my wife and I experienced a devastating fire in a rental property we owned in Boise and were ready to starting putting the finishing touches on the rebuild, we were interested in evaluating if the time was right to sell. As long-distance landlords, we needed an agent who would give us a realistic price estimate and could handle most of the logistics for us. Honesty, hard work, and clear communication were our top priorities. We had not worked with them before, but Raina and Cindie have helped members of my family with buying and selling their homes in Boise for more than a decade; my parents and sister couldn't say enough good about them! Raina was very up front and honest. She provided only the information we needed in order to make the right choice, without the hard sell. Her honest and direct manner, and ability to articulate the big picture while paying careful attention to small details was evident from the start. Raina not only helped us to understand what our house was worth, but also helped us to make choices during the final weeks of construction that would best appeal to potential buyers. She was always there for us, ready to go on site and work with our contractor to clarify for us what needed to be done - right up until the day we closed! Her advice really paid off. When we finally hit the market we had several offers to consider on the first day, all above asking price! Raina helped us to pick the right one and to negotiate a very fast closing. We would definitely choose to work with Raina again! Anyone needing to buy or sell a home in the Boise area would do well to give Raina and Cindie a call.

Mark & Linda Fyffe

Cindie and Raina are my "go to" real estate professionals. They are on- time, accountable, thorough and detail oriented, personable and fun, very knowledgeable of the real estate market as well as the real estate process to buy or sell your home, excellent communicators, shall I go on....look no further! These are your A-Z real estate gals! I'll go to no other.

Nancy Wickman

Cindie was phenomenal! I loved how she brought information to my attention so I could make an informed choice about what I was looking for in a home. She was thorough and went above and beyond to help us out at every turn. Her experience and knowledge is a great asset and we have full confidence in her abilities. She has a welcoming personality and a joy to work with.

Francis Washatka

I mostly worked with Raina Gabbard in viewing Boise Real Estate. Raina was very professional and helped in the decision making for the purchase. Raina had many helpful ideas that saved me on bad purchases. She still calls me after I purchased my home to ensure all is well and making sure I take care of the Home Owners policy...

Keith Nicholson

The best possible experience with a real estate agent, helped me get into my first house, and its more than I ever expected to find with my budget! Raina and Cindie are incredibly knowledgeable about both the treasure valley real estate market, and the best way to ensure you have a smooth buying experience. Cant say enough good things about them.

Darren Mabe

Raina was a pleasure to work with. Helped my son with the purchase of his first home. Was excellent in helping him understand all the steps of purchasing his home.

Monique Mabe

Just bought my first home and couldn't have done it without Raina and Cindie's help!! Raina helped me every step of the way. I knew absolutely nothing about buying a house and she gave me so much confidence and explained every thing in detail. She answered all my questions even the ridiculous ones. She responded to me immediately when I needed help and she was so patient. I really would recommend her to anyone. She knew all her stuff and didn't settle for anything less or try to rush anything. She found the perfect home for me! Can't thank them enough!!

Tiffany Coll

We are empty nesters and wanted to downsize. Everyone who has experienced this told us it would be hard - and it was! But Raina and Cindie truly helped make it not so hard for us. They provided excellent analysis data so we arrived at the right price for our wonderful, big old house and then squired us around town. We explored many, many properties until we found just the right fit for the next chapter in our lives. These women really know their stuff, and they stay with you in every step along the way. Raina and Cindie go that extra mile; paying attention to every detail and anticipating or identifying any potential stumbling block. We were very comfortable and confident in their handling both of the selling and buying arrangements for us. We highly recommend this team for all your real estate needs.

Tom & Alberta Woodall

You kept us informed every step of the way. You made the sale and the purchase of our new home go so smooth. You were always one to two steps ahead on any issue that came up. By the time we signed papers on both homes, we felt like we had friends not just agents looking out for our best interests.

Roger & Pat

We were referred to Cindie and Raina by our Realtor in the state we moved from and could not be any happier. Our primary agent, Raina, was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Both she and Cindie made our home buying process very easy and seamless. We're thrilled with our new home and would recommend Homes N Boise Realty LLC to anyone in the market to purchase or list a home.

Craig & Pat

Raina is an amazing Realtor. She is experienced, has an eye for details, and always takes care of her clients. Raina looks at every document to check accuracy before the client signs. We received preliminary closing statements from the bank with errors in it and when I addressed them with Raina, she was already in the process of having them corrected and new documents being sent to us for review. The same thing happened with title policy. Raina had the title company remove easements that were no longer applicable to the property we were purchasing. She has comparison properties ready for us when we look at houses to purchase so that we can be more educated in our decision. She definitely thinks of everything. We definitely found the best-Raina!!!

Evelyn DeArmond - Curt & Mary

When I decided to sell my home Cindie and Raina came and suggested some things I needed to do to make my home ready for sale. One or both were always available when I had a question and I was always happy that they would answer my questions in terms I could understand. They showed me comps for my area and what I could expect when listing my home. They were very respectful of my home and furnishings and that my cat was an "inside" cat. They always let me know when they had people coming to see the house or if another agent was stopping by so I had time to spruce things up a little before they arrived. They sold my home in two weeks and made the whole process easy for a single woman who had never done this before. They got me top dollar for my home with the least amount of stress. I would have to say that Cindie and Raina were my Real Estate agents but made me feel like family.

Joyce

Rhonda N N says Raina and Cindie have handled the transactions on both my home purchases and my in-laws home. They are an outstanding team, and really work hard to make it all happen smoothly! If you need a realtor, give them a call, you'll be happy you did.

Rhonda in Eagle

Raina goes above and beyond! Raina Jamison is an amazing Realtor. She is experienced, has an eye for details, and always takes care of her clients. Raina looks at every document to check for accuracy before the client signs. We received preliminary closing statements from the bank with errors in it and when I addressed them with Raina, she was already in the process of having them corrected and new documents being sent to us for review. The same thing happened with the title policy. Raina had the title company remove easements that were no longer applicable to the property we were purchasing. She has comparison properties ready for us when we look at houses to purchase so that we can be more educated on our decision. She definitely thinks of everything. I was an award winning Realtor for Century 21 back in the 90's, so I am very picky when choosing a Realtor. We definitely found the best--Raina!!!

Matt & Lynette

Thank you for all you did to help us sell our home recently. We were impressed with your plan of action from the start and the way you stayed on top of things until final closing. You helped us initially understand what we needed to do to get the house ready to show and you set up a good marketing plan with various ways of advertising it. You counseled us well while the home was listed and being shown. You were so helpful during the "homestretch" when we finally received an offer and went through negotiations, home inspection, and closing. We felt you were well organized and diligent and did everything necessary to help us get a good price for our home in a relatively short time and in a definite buyers’ market. Overall, you were true agents looking out for our best interests. Thank you again for all your efforts.

Kip & Lana

Cindie...paid more attention to details than the most discerning homebuyer. Her knowledge of the industry and relationship to (all) other professionals...is praiseworthy.

David Rimmer

I purchased my first home fifteen years ago with help from Cindie & Raina. I was nervous and new to the process and they were so helpful! Seven years later I needed more space and they helped me get what I was looking for at a great price in the right area. I will definitely call on them for my next home! Thank you!

Juli Stacy

Cindie, Rick and I can't thank you enough for the wonderful, professional service that you provided. We knew when we asked you to represent us that we were getting someone who could get the job done without any of the haggling. You more than exceeded our expectations. Building a house can always have its share of unexpected delays, questions, and the like. Whenever something arose, you were right there to get the answers or make sure that the problem was taken care of. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and feel choosing you was the best decision we made! We would not hesitate to recommend your team to others. Rick and Wendy

Rick & Wendy

From the start, you acted in a professional manner to help us with this transaction. Your immediate attention to this listing enabled us to successfully market the property. I felt that because we were in New Jersey, you were extremely cooperative and comprehensive in helping move the property in its entirety. Your actions certainly speak highly of your professional and cheerful way of getting things accomplished.

Marcus Trust

All ads were very well done. Cindie and Raina were realistic and very helpful in staginad and pricing my home. What a wonderful surprise to sell in just 2 days after listing! Thank you. Nina

Nina, Boise

Raina and Cindie were very helpful in our long distance home search and purchase. They gave wonderful customer service during the entire process! Thank you so very much!!

Jessica & Edward - Boise

The Homes N Boise marketing approach is very personal, especially for those of us from out-of-state. The whole buying process was very comfortable from the very first phone introduction. We never felt left in the dark; everything was presented to us in a straight forward manner. We never thought it would be so easy to buy a home from out-of-state. Thanks for everything! It was like doing business with a great friend!

Ron & Melissa new to Boise

Professional, knowledgable and resourceful. Raina and Cindie listened to my home buying needs and were a pleasure to work with start to finish.

Nancy in Kuna

Raina worked hard to find the property we wanted. She showed patience with our questions and offered helpful advice.

Jay Williams

Cindie did a fantastic job of finding just the home we wanted. When it came time to sell 3-1/2 yrs. later, we knew exactly who to turn to. We had two excellent offers on the home the same day after only 20 days on the market! We would recommend Cindie and her team to anyone.

David Allen

Raina proved to be in tune to our needs and wants in a home. She was assertive, competent and friendly in her work. We really like how Raina explained the home buying process in terms we could understand.

David Young
