After living 60+ years in Missouri we decided to move to Meridian, Idaho. It was a big decision and we had many question regarding neighborhoods, houses, subdivisions, builders, to name just a few. Jeff Stewart was very highly recommended to us and we were not disappointed. He answered all our questions and offered many helpful suggestions. He always responded promptly and never complained even though we asked to tour many, many homes on our visits to Meridian. The house we decided to buy was a foreclosure. This added extra questions and details to the closing process. Jeff handled it all efficiently and arranged for us to close on the property even though we were 1500+ miles away in Missouri. We love our home and do not plan to move for many years but if we do we will definitely call on Jeff to help us find our next home.

My husband and I were looking for our retirement home in Idaho. We lived in California, and I was searching on the internet. I reached Jeff's website and he contacted me and stated would send me houses to look at within our price range,square feet, acres, etc. Looking through the listings he sent was so much easier. We were planning to fly down and look at these but we really did not want an agent since some as we know can be very aggressive. Jeff wasn't and he was so helpful and knowledgeable of all the areas we were looking at. Behold, we found our house and now we are just loving it. It turned out to not be a big stresser for us being out of state for the closing since he kept on top of the things that needed to be done and made sure they were done.
I would recommend him to anyone!
Great Job Jeff!

My wife and I recently purchased our first home. A friend of ours introduced us to Jeff shortly after we had seriously begun looking for a house. At that point we had not selected a Realtor and were impressed at how much Jeff offered to help without demanding that we immediately sign a buyer agreement. We had looked at many homes on the internet, but found more value in visiting some of the listings with Jeff. As we continued searching, Jeff e-mailed us a listing of a short sale close to our area and called to see if we wanted to look at it. That evening we put an offer on the house and not long after we had purchased our first home. Jeff helped us save a lot of money, but even more he made the whole experience enjoyable. He organized everything with everyone, never pushed us into a decision, and even helped with some of the small repairs we wanted to make.
Thanks Jeff, for everything!

A good friend of ours told us about jeff & his true greatness for the business, we found it all to be true with the exceptional service jeff gave! Jeff has helped us buy several properties over the past years. unlike many realtors Jeff goes far beyond his normal duties as a realtor broker, most of all his integrity, honesty & business knowledge impressed us the most. It's hard to find a realtor who makes you feel as you are their "only" client. He is always there when you need him as well as very informative in the real estate market. In the past we have used many good realtors but when we were lucky enough to find Jeff we knew we hit the jackpot! He listens to his clients, their needs & is never pushy and there to accomodate "you" in every step of the process, always a pleasure to work with! We hope jeff stays in the business for a good long time so our friends & family have the opportunity to work with him when they need a home, such as many already have. Thanks Jeff for making all our experiences great ones!! Looking forward to working with you for all our future real estate "needs", a true professional and always exceeding our expectations!!

My husband I have nothing but positive praise for the service Jeff has provided us over the past year. We began looking for a house in the Boise area via the internet a few years ago. Jeff kept us updated on what was available in the area and was always available to answer questions we had. Jeff was very patient, knowledgeable, and we especially appreciated his no-pressure approach. He was very supportive and wanted us to find exactly what we were looking for in a property. He is very committed to his clients and spent a lot of time with us and made us feel we had great priority in his daily schedule. He always followed through on every thing he said he would do. He was always accessible, thorough, and competent. He is well informed in all aspects of the business and has many great contacts that truly helped us purchase our house under a tight timeline. Thanks, Jeff. We truly love our new house!

I have bought many homes as a married woman with spouse to help in my adult life. This last year I found myself as a single parent trying to buy a home of my own. It was a very scarey prospect. I got online and found Jeff quite by accident. I am very thankful that I did. He found me financing and a home I love. He was very patient and kind. He also found me a great home repair specialist that has helped me with improvements at a reasonable cost. I would recommend him to anyone thinking about purchasing a home. He was helpful, dedicated and even went to closing with me to help me to understand what I was signing. He checked on me thru out the process and even after closing called to see if I was still satisfied with his service. I am very thankful that I had him looking out for me.

I just wanted to let everyone know that if you are seriously looking for a honest and very caring for your needs kind of Realtor you have found him. Jeff is very knowledgeable in many areas when it comes to buying your home. Jeff is always there when you need him and will fit you in his busy schedule as he did many times for me. Thank you Jeff you are an awesome Realtor and I will call upon you again and will refer you to anyone interested in buying real estate.
Thanks!!!!!

We’ve never had a Realtor that was so good to work with. We have always been a little hesitant to use a Realtor but Jeff made it worth it. Jeff was very thorough, dependable, and always did what he said he would do. He earned our respect and trust. Jeff knows the market and knows houses. He went the extra mile in every situation to help us during the sale of our home. He kept us informed of every detail and offered helpful suggestions along the way. Because of his experience in appraising homes, we felt like he was more qualified than other Realtors to help us in a tough market. He went beyond our expectations and treated us so well. He’s very professional in a humble, honest, and respectable way. We would recommend him to our closest friends.

Jeff at Stewart Realty was great to work with. I had a very limited budget and he helped me find a wonderful home in my price range. I have never before worked with a Realtor that was so thoughtful and persistent to find just the right home for me. I will be forever grateful and would recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking to buy or sell real estate.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Jeff answer an online inquiry when we began house hunting. He contacted us immediately and put together a list of houses that were in our price range. Our house hunting experience ended up spanning about six months because we tried a couple of short sales. Through it all he was on top of everything, very accommodating with our schedules, and very open about the properties we were seeing. He was quick to point out potential problems with the properties, and very honest with our questions. If he didn't know something, he told us. He never showed us something that was above our budget and never pressured us. I loved how personal our experience with Stewart Realty was. We have just moved into our first home and we love it! It was a long journey, but it was nice to have somebody so experienced that we could trust to make that journey with us. We recommend Jeff to all our friends, and if we ever need more property in the future, Jeff will be the first person we call.

After living 30 years in Alaska we finally moved the family to the L-48 before the kids got cemented in high school. Our final reconnaissance after 7000mi in our RV to select a city concluded and we pulled into the treasure valley as our new home. We knew no one compounded by school starting the week we arrived but we also knew our resourcefulness would prevail. We started looking at schools and homes with very unique objectives for both. By chance alone we came across Jeff’s business card at an RV park and the owner who knew our now famous travel story, who by the way was one of those outstanding people you meet in your travels, told us Jeff was just what we needed right now.
After contacting Jeff and meeting that day our total quality of life we enjoy today in the valley was set in motion. While home selection was important, we and Jeff knew that getting the kids enrolled in school had the highest priority…. but what city we would live in was still unknown. Jeff not only educated us on the unique aspects of the school district rules but he also could tell that we had some specific objectives for each of our kids. Jeff is a professional who recognizes people have to decide and figure out their major decisions themselves, even though he knew how to quickly get us in some direction. This is important to me as most will just give the info and basic help, but with the objective to minimize their time and effort. Not so Jeff, he outlined an approach to interview the potential schools while he lobbied a charter school he just knew we would end up settling on. This was an effort for him in itself as there were only openings in one grade, but he also knew once you get one in and the family shows involvement with school, the likelihood both would be accepted was high. Jeff was patient with us, which was a lot to say, but yet he also knew when and how to move us steadily ahead which is one of his unique strengths. We ended up right where he thought we would ultimately choose but let us get there ourselves, and with his foresight we not only got both kids in but have become part of the schools current personality.
So what about real-estate? Well to me the above is one element if you’re moving. There are only a few real gems out there that will go to the above extent and have the unique personality and experience to do it well. For me there are two basic types of purchasing property, i.e. home and investment.
With the home, Jeff understood what we described to him, he narrowed the listings well to where we had multiple homes to choose from, spent more time than I thought possible with us as we are only one client, and bless his heart put up with me and my wife’s unique drive. Jeff was able to get us the place we most wanted even though another was bidding; to include it was in short sale. I here war stories all the time but this was relatively painless… maybe luck but I think not. My handyman and many other service providers have come from Jeff’s knowledge of the valley.
With the above going so well, we jumped right into the investment rentals. Jeff’s investment professionalism fits me perfectly; he searches for properties and lets me know when something that meets my objectives hit the market. He knows how to bid them, when not to, and most importantly, I can have an honest, professional debate with him where he tells me what he thinks whether I like it or not as well as me doing the same with him. In business you have to have someone you truly trust, not a yes person that gives you just what you want, but a professional that understands you and the market you are both in. Jeff will search records and locations more than most anybody or at least he does it positively –vs- many disgruntled. My property manager is one of the best around, she too was recommended by Jeff. I needed some inexpensive lawyer document services and Jeff not only found it, he started it for me as I travel.
There are many good real-estate agents out there to just get the job done, but I now know the difference between the “high movers” and “politically instep” ones I’ve used over the years and the one you would recommend to your mom, son or daughter, or best friend.
