About Phil Hoover


I am a real estate broker with 35 years' experience who specializes in Boise Area residential real estate.

I am also a recovering Californian, having spent 20 years in real estate while living in the Bay Area, Sacramento, and Grass Valley areas prior to moving to Idaho in 1991.

Finally, I am also the author of SELLING REAL ESTATE . . . . How To Succeed In The Real World, a popular real estate text that recently sold out its 3rd printing.

I work personally with only a few clients at any one time in order to ensure a very high level of personal service and expertise.

Rest assured that you will not be handed off to an inexperienced, junior agent. 

I prefer to personally assist my clients in achieving their real estate objectives.

My business model is simple ~ I show up (on time), return all phone calls and e-mails promptly, and tell the truth.

I allow my clients to make informed decisions without the usual sales persuasion.

My promise to you, should we decide to work together, is that I will present all aspects of your proposed transaction to you, even if it is to my detriment.

My 2,000+ delighted past clients are your assurance that I will do a good job for you too.

I am not a real estate cheerleader; I deal in facts and will tell it like it is.

Through this blog, I hope to educate and inform you about the inner workings of real estate.
