Amherst Madison Boise Lenders
Testimonials
"
I cannot count the multitude of ways in which we were impressed by Kristin throughout
every aspect of our cross country move and home buying adventure; however, I can list
some of the most impactful.
1. We visited Boise a year prior to moving there, and with us using a non standard loan
we knew we could not truly begin the buying process for several months. Regardless,
Kristin spent an entire day driving us all over the valley to show us houses and
familiarize us with the area. We were hesitant to buy a house while we were several
states away but Kristin assured us that she could make the process as easy and
manageable as possible, and she was absolutely correct.
2. Once we found a home, Kristin regularly would tour the house and facetime us as it
progressed through the final stages of construction. Additionally, she would coordinate
with our family members in the area so they could see the house and give us their
thoughts and feedback.
3. Our inspection period had a few hiccups, but once again, Kristin had everything
under control. She kept us up to date at every step. Anytime we needed a quote or
professionals input, she had a great contact in whatever discipline was needed.
Everyone she recommended was easy to work with and reliable.
4. After closing and prior to our move, Kristin continued to help us at every turn. We
used some of her contacts for improvements and she met with them to grant them entry
to the house. She helped us understand some of the Idaho specific tax forms regarding
home purchases. Additionally, She offered to coordinate many other aspects of our
move as well.
Ultimately, while Kristin is an amazing realtor, she is so much more than that. Every one
of our family members has made a comment at some point that they wish their realtor
was as trust worthy, reliable, helpful, or considerate as Kristin.
Not only would we recommend Kristin to all our friends and family, I would urge them
that working with any other realtor would be a mistake.
Thank You Kristin!!

Kristin was both professional and very personable. She kept us informed at every turn
and understood our hesitations, questions, and issues. Always leaving the final
decision up to us but never leaving us uninformed about the decisions. Would highly
recommend her and Amherst Madison. Thanks

Kristin,
Just wanted to let you know of the outstanding job that you and your team did on selling
our house. In a “hot” real estate market one might be tempted to minimize the value add
of the real estate brokerage team. You successfully accomplished the following:
1. Valuation. The hardest part of any transaction.
2. Investment in house which increased certainty of close.
3. Closing the transaction. Successfully negotiated and navigated a complex closing
which required solving numerous items.
4. Ease of use. Always available and positive.
5. Trust and confidence. Earned by you and your team's performance throughout the
entire process.
I will definitely call you for my next real estate transaction. Thanks for a successful and
enjoyable transaction process.

our friends and family!

I had a fantastic experience with Kristin Porter as my real estate agent! She suggested
a few reasonable, minor upgrades that completely transformed my home. It did not
surprise me when a great offer came in within 3 days of putting it on the market. She
coordinates an amazingly efficient team of people (handymen, movers, cleaners,
electricians, etc.) so that you don't have to worry about a thing. You can put your
complete trust in Kristin that she will do an excellent job, taking care of all the details
while also seeing the "big picture." In short: a consummate professional with a very
personalized approach. I highly recommend Kristin Porter!

I have only positive things to say about our experience with Kristin Porter at Amherst
Madison. We moved to Idaho from out of state. She took time before our first visit to
learn what we were looking for in a house. While we were looking she taught us about
the area and learned our preferences on the spot and fine tuned our searching in real
time. Once we made an offer she was invaluable taking care of things while we were
remote. The closing experience was seamless. She went the extra mile to help us feel
welcome in our new house. She continues to be a great resource when I have
questions about the area. She helped ease all my worries at every step of the process. I
am so glad we have a friendly, competent, thorough, professional and exceptional
agent. 10/10 recommend!

Regarding Kristin Porter- she was absolutely fantastic. She started us down the road to
our buying a magical dream house! We came to Boise to look for homes under less
than ideal circumstances. Kristin was very easy to get to know and very clearly loves
what she does. She gave us a great tour of the area and we quickly discovered the
areas we loved.
When we finally decided to proceed with a serious search Kristin was fully engaged very
quickly and we really felt she was on our team and very aware of what we wanted. The
process was actually fun and exciting instead of overwhelming.
We quickly found our house and we’re able to wade through the myriad of steps to
inspection of the various working components of the house.Kristin has a incredible
knowledge of all the needed consultants in the area and rounded them up in no time.
She always got right back to us with great attention to detail. We were still in salt lake
and Kristin enabled us to buy the house with our phone!
My other experiences with real estate brokers has not been great- Kristin certainly
changed that. She is the kind of person you want as your neighbor and friend, which
she has become.
She made this whole process easy and super fun, it really changed our outlook on the
move entirely and we are so looking forward to our new home.

Kristin was truly a pleasure to work with! She was very accommodating to our needs
while looking for a home out of state. We really valued her time in setting up lots of
video calls to tour homes. Relocating across the country is never easy but it helps
having a great realtor like Kristin! Thank you

Kristin made it so easy! travelling from different state and buying a house in Boise went
so smoothly only because of her help. She was responsive and would go to for
Facetime walk throughs of houses anytime something of interest hit the market. In a
time when buying a house is so hard due to bidding wars, she helped us to avoid over
paying and yet making good suggestions on the right price with which we finally landed
the house on our 4th offer. Thanks Kristin.

Kristin did an outstanding job marketing our house. It sold quickly and not only did we
get an excellent price for our home, with Kristin's guidance we were able to negotiate
some specific closing preferences. Kristin listened to what we wanted in our next house
and then tirelessly worked on it until she found the perfect house for us. However, to
really highlight what an amazing realtor Kristin is, is how she stepped in at the last
moment to help us purchase a family vacation house. She researched the house, then
drove three hours to meet us at the house, walked through the property with us, offering
her professional opinion on our many questions and suggestions for the offer, which we
followed. Kristin spent the entire day with us as we worked to close the deal on the
vacation property. Then, she had to drive another three hours home. What amazing
dedication and support for clients! For the third time in less than a year, Kristin
successfully helped us close on a home. Kristin is knowledgeable, ethical, and works
tirelessly for her clients. We highly recommend Kristin to anyone wishing to sell or buy a home.

Kristin has excellent attention to detail and is very prompt with all communication and
very available for questions. She did a detailed market analysis of comparable
properties which was very helpful. I also appreciated that she had an inspection done
prior to listing.

We were so fortunate to have connected with Kristin Porter when we moved cross
country to Boise from the Midwest. She helped our family find the perfect home, and
close smoothly on it remotely. She’s also been an amazing resource for everything else
we’ve needed help finding information about, including contractors for potential home
improvement projects, schools for our three teenagers, etc. She’s so knowledgeable
about Boise and Idaho in general, and we’re so thankful for everything she has done for
our family! We’ve moved cross country several times, and have worked with various real
estate agents over the years, and Kristin has been the most knowledgeable and
valuable resource thus far. Her help has managed to make this relocation much
smoother and less stressful than anticipated! Highly recommend her!!

I highly recommend Kristin for your real estate needs. It was so refreshing to work with
Kristin as she navigated the challenges of my recent investment property purchase.
Kristin is a hard-working and savvy agent - she brings so much to the table. She has
many resources to draw from, shared great advice with me throughout the process, and
even followed up afterwards. Kristin is professional, positive, and perseveres to find
solutions when needed. Her communication skills are top notch. I honestly look
forward to working with Kristin again in the future - how many times can you say that?!
