Doug and Joan Johnston did a great job helping me buy 2 properties in idaho. They had to perform many of their duties without my presence, as I was still out of state, selling my previous home and rental property. They were there for me every step of the way. I am a licensed real estate broker for over 30 years in another state, so please consider my reference highly as I know what it takes to be a great agent. They go above and beyond and I recommend them highly.
On recommendation by a close friend, Doug and Joan helped me buy my home a few years ago, and then helped me again when I was selling it recently. Both times, they went above and beyond to make the process easy. I recommend them highly.
After selling our home in California, which happened sooner than we expected, we found ourselves in quick need of an experienced buyer’s rep to help us find a new home in Idaho. Our excellent Coldwell Banker listing agent in California recommended Doug and Joan Johnston from Coldwell Banker, and even placed a call to them to ensure that they were the right fit for us. After a short conversation with Doug and Joan ourselves, we knew we had found not one quality rep, but two. While we were still out of state, they started working on our behalf, sending us listings that fit our criteria and telling us about the area. When we told Joan that we were interested in a particular home, she was at the house within an hour and gave us a virtual tour while we were on the phone with her, allowing us the next day to make an informed and successful offer without stepping foot in the state.

That is an example of the great support they have provided for us ever since. Doug’s experience and knowledge of home construction and regulations was invaluable as we went on walkthroughs and inspections. Joan did a wonderful job helping us with the many documents and keeping us informed as we wound our way through the home buying process. We very much appreciate their quick response to our questions, and they even allowed us to use their offices on many occasions for secure internet connections to make wire transfers and sign up for utilities. They even referred us to several great vendors, from hairdressers, to plumbers, to flooring suppliers, all of which we needed after moving to a new area. Doug and Joan make quite an impressive team. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to find the home of their dreams in the Treasure Valley, Idaho. We have found that it is a wonderful place with many considerate people, and Doug and Joan are great examples of Idaho hospitality.
I was a first time home buyer, and had considered buying a home for several years. Joan and Doug were referred to me by a family member that had a great experience working with them. With their knowledge and experience, they took what was to me a stressful process and made it seamless with step by step guidance and advice. It went so smooth, my closing happened in 18 days instead of the original scheduled 30 days!
