Relocation stories

People we've helped move to the Treasure Valley

Jenn is a creative and dedicated professional. Because of her connections, she found us our dream home in a terrific neighborhood (that wasn’t even on the market!)! We were relocating to Boise to be closer to family and she helped get us get familiar with the areas we targeted. She had excellent pros to guide us through the inspection, lending and title phases so it was an easy process. Can’t imagine what we would have done without her expertise!

Travis is an excellent realtor. He helped me sell my house on the Boise bench and took care of everything. When the home inspection turned up some unexpected problems Travis even helped find a contractor to fix the issues so that we could get the house back on the market quickly. Travis was very proactive in getting the house sold. He responded quickly when people wanted to see the house. He also had some great suggestions for improving the curb appeal! I Highly recommend Travis as a realtor.
JenniferClient
We hired Jennifer to sell our house. She was a pro from start to finish. She did a masterful job marketing our house and was knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive throughout the entire process. Jennifer understands the market and knows how to help her clients position themselves within it for maximum success. She brings a wealth of experience into her representation, and it shows. She expertly navigates the negotiation process, skillfully guiding her clients through the pros and cons of each decision. We enthusiastically recommend to Jennifer to anyone seeking a real estate agent in Boise.

Travis is an amazing person to have in your corner when buying a house. He went so far above and beyond for us and it made buying a house from out of state so much easier for us. He actually took the time to keep in touch with me for nearly a year before we were ready to purchase a home. His knowledge of the Boise, ID area and the market were spot on, and he is an excellent negotiator. He gave us excellent advice but supported whatever choices we made. Throughout the whole home buying experience he was upbeat and positive, regardless of the circumstances and he gave us all the time that we needed to tour and select the perfect house in a difficult market. I highly recommend Travis for your home buying or selling needs! Not only is he knowledgeable in all aspects of the real estate market, but he's a truly nice guy.

Jennifer Carr is the most loyal real estate friend a buyer could have in search of their dream home. She helped us through 2 major real estate transactions. One home fell through and she never left our side. Very professional and guided us skillfully through every step of the process keeping our goals as her focal point. Tremendous negotiator. Followed up with the most reputable inspections and operational resources for property improvements. She kept us completely informed and protected our interest from the beginning searches to providing us confidence through every step of the escrow process. Whether a buyer or seller, we wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer Carr and Timber & Love Realty.
Rich and Karen HolineClient
Travis did an outstanding job negotiating and helping us find an investment property and personal home in the tough 2021 market! I highly recommend working with Travis. He goes above and beyond to help find the home/property best for you, is very responsive and knowledgeable. He helped negotiate and get our offers accepted in a market where the homes had multiple offers on! He's very knowledgeable and helped walk us through the whole process! We enjoyed working with him so much we have bought all out homes with him! In unpredictable and tough markets, you want someone who knows what they are doing, has years of experience, and is great to work with and that is Travis!
BrendaListing/Seller
Jennifer was absolutely amazing to work with! I will always highly recommend her to all of my friends and family. It’s very obvious that she genuinely loves her job and goes above and beyond for every single client, every single time. Our (now) home had multiple offers on it and she negotiated extremely well and we got everything we asked for! As first-time home buyers, having Jen as our realtor meant we knew we were in great hands throughout the whole process. She truly made it a fun, enjoyable and stress-free experience. We are forever grateful!
Minton FamilyBuyer
Travis truly cares about his clients, whether buying your first home or selling your home to move on. He is interested in your needs and spends a lot of time looking for the home that fits those needs. His personality makes you feel immediately comfortable putting your future in his hands and know his negotiations will be fair and reasonable. He has been in the business long enough to be very comfortable with the process and may even have suggestions on how to make it smoother and more affordable. He makes you feel like you and your family are his top priority.
LeeClient
From the very moment I met realtor Jennifer Carr she understood what was required to market and sell my home. She was thoughtful and informative about what would be required to meet my expectations. She worked side-by-side with me to get the home sold. She is truly more than a five star negotiator. Mostly, she believed in my dreams and brought me to closing with ease and grace. Her associate Jenny Hefner was a rock-star and detailed oriented which made my life easier. If you are thinking of listing or buying a home Jennifer and Timber and Love Realty are top-notch!
Brenda JanotListing/Seller
I was dead-set on buying a home without a realtor, but then met Travis at an open house and am so glad I did! He was immensely helpful in navigating the offer process, and it always felt like he was 'on my team' (even though the seller's agent was at the same brokerage). I can't recommend him enough.
MaddyClient
I have purchased and sold properties in the past, my only mistake was not involving the expertise of Jennifer Carr first. She holds a level of professionalism that is unmatched. Her attention to detail is second to none. The amount of effort she put forth was astonishing. I HIGHLY recommend her abilities. She will not rest until the job is done and you are completely satisfied. A++ If you want a high caliber agent look no further than Jennifer Carr!!
