Hello, I’m Rain

Real estate is personal.
I treat it that way.

A move can hold so much: excitement, uncertainty, a new beginning, or a goodbye to somewhere you’ve loved. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and confident that someone is paying attention.

My years in home health and hospice taught me how much it matters to listen. My four decades in real estate—and experience building homes and living off-grid—help me turn that care into practical guidance.

Horses have been part of my life for most of my life, and I still train and ride. Horse properties, ranches, and farms make up more than half of my real estate work. I look at a property with everyday life—and your animals—in mind.

I’ll tell you what I know, help find out what we still need to know, and stay with you through the details.

A little more about me ↗

Horse properties · Ranches · Farms

More than acreage.
A place that works for your horses.

A beautiful barn is a beginning. The real question is how the whole property will work for you, your animals, and the way you live.

The land and the layout

How much ground is usable? We’ll look at terrain, drainage, fencing, water, turnout, trailer access, and space for a round pen or arena—not just the acreage on the listing.

A barn that earns its keep

Stalls, shelter, a separate foaling area if you need one, and room to work safely. Where will hay stay dry and protected from wildlife? If there’s a loft, how will you load it: a trolley, an elevator, or another practical setup?

The life around the property

Large-animal vets, farriers, hay suppliers, riding opportunities, and winter access all belong in the conversation. We’ll also consider equipment needs and the chores your particular setup will require.

For the home you’ve made your own

Your next chapter
deserves a thoughtful start.

Selling begins with understanding your property and what you need from the move. Together, we’ll put a plan around both.

01
A personal look at your property

Its setting, condition, improvements and the details that make it different.

02
Marketing that tells its story

Thoughtful presentation, professional photography and a plan to reach buyers.

03
Someone keeping track of the details

Clear communication from our first conversation through closing.

A few helpful answers

Good questions.
A clearer way forward.

You don’t have to figure everything out before you reach out.

Do you specialize in horse properties, ranches, and farms?

Yes. They make up more than half of my real estate work. I have had horses for most of my life and still train and ride. I help buyers and sellers look beyond acreage to the land, barns, hay storage, access, and everyday needs of an equestrian property.

What areas do you serve?

I work with buyers and sellers throughout Bonner, Boundary and Kootenai Counties in North Idaho, including Sandpoint, Sagle, Hope, Clark Fork, Priest River, Priest Lake and Bonners Ferry.

Can you help with acreage and off-grid property?

Yes. I lived off-grid for about ten years and have personally built nine homes. I can help you identify questions about water, septic, power, road access and your plans for a property, then connect those questions with the appropriate records and professionals.

How do I find out what my property is worth?

Start with a conversation and your property address. I’ll look at comparable properties and the details that affect yours, including land, improvements, condition and setting, to prepare a personal market analysis.

Do I need to be ready to move before we talk?

No. You’re welcome to start with questions. Whether you’re planning ahead or ready to take the next step, I can help you understand what to look into and what your options may be.
