Bigger deals.Straight answers.
Apartments near campus, a Main Street storefront, a shop or industrial bay. Start with the income, the use, and the terms that make the numbers work.
Idaho real estate. People first.

- Start from the rent roll, leases, and operating history, not the listing summary.
- Confirm the zoning and permitted use with the city or county.
- Structure terms, timing, and contingencies around the real risks.
A PLAN YOU CAN FOLLOW
From the first question
to the next right step.
Start where you are. Work through the decisions together.
- 01
Define the deal
Buying, selling, or leasing; the property type; and the result you need from it.
- 02
Gather the numbers
Rent rolls, leases, expenses, tax history, and condition information for the property.
- 03
Test the assumptions
Review income, vacancy, deferred maintenance, and financing with your lender, accountant, and inspectors.
- 04
Structure and close
Negotiate price and terms, set due-diligence deadlines, and coordinate the closing.
LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER
Before you commit.
Commercial and multifamily property depends on details a listing summary leaves out.
Operating expenses
Account for taxes, insurance, utilities, management, maintenance, and reserves.
Zoning and use
Confirm that the intended use, parking, and signage are permitted with the local jurisdiction.
Physical condition
Have roofs, mechanical systems, structure, and any environmental questions inspected by qualified professionals.
Does Jeff handle commercial property?
Yes. His Countrywide Properties Group profile describes residential, farm and ranch, and commercial experience. His recent public listings have included multifamily, retail, and industrial lease property.
Can Jeff tell me what a property will earn?
No one can guarantee income. Jeff can help you gather the records and ask the right questions, and your lender, accountant, and other advisers can test the assumptions.
Can I lease space instead of buying?
Yes. Tell Jeff the size, location, and use you need so you can talk through available lease options and terms.
