About Phil Hoover
I am a real estate broker with 40 years’ real estate experience who specializes in Boise Area residential real estate.
I am a dedicated, full-time professional who still enjoys helping people buy and sell homes.
Over the years, I have become good friends with many of my thousands of delighted past clients.
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 sold out three printings.
My latest book, 101 Real Estate Success Secrets, is in its second printing and explains how I provide an exceptional level of personalized service to my clients.
I am not a mass-production mega-agent with a “team” and a big ego.
Rest assured that you will not be handed off to an inexperienced, junior agent.
Instead, I work personally ( by appointment) with only a few clients at a time in order to ensure a very high level of personal service and expertise.
Think of me as your personal real estate consultant who’s here to educate, advise, and help you ~ not a pushy salesperson intent upon “closing the deal”.
My business model is simple:
- I show up (on time).
- I 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.
I am not a real estate cheerleader; I deal in facts.
Through this blog, I hope to educate and inform you about the inner workings of real estate and local market conditions.
