About Sheila
After nearly a decade of actively investing in real estate, Sheila experienced firsthand the doors real estate can open and began her career as a Realtor. Within the first two years of having her license, she found herself in the upper 1% of realtors based on volume of property sold in the Intermountain MLS, an area extending from Boise to Twin Falls to McCall. This success stems first from loving what she does but also by listening and paying attention to the individual needs of each home buyer and catering to their specific needs. Sheila's extensive experience lies not only in residential, but also residential income & multi-family, new construction, development & commercial property.
She also listed bank-owned properties for three local banks & has the most successful close ratio for short sale listings in the Boise area. She has redesigned and decorated three cafes, and has a vision for staging, layout, & true potential in property. Her background also includes extensive remodeling work, giving her depth of knowledge regarding the ins & outs of construction. Lastly, if you are a renter looking to buy your first home or an investor interested in buying a rental property, she currently owns multiple rentals & has developed a successful incentive program for renters to become homeowners.
Sheila's goal is to retain every client's business for life and leave them so happy with her service they are compelled to refer her to everyone they know. Her success stems from working hard for her clients and having fun during the process. Handling such high volume allows Sheila to stay up to date regarding market fluctuations, property values, day-to-day inventory, pocket neighborhoods that are holding value, others that are not, and she definitely knows how to make a short sale close. Her knowledge and integrity ensure all her clients are making well-informed, thoughtful decisions. Sheila has an amazing work ethic and has developed long-lasting, trust-based relationships with her clients.
On a personal note... before falling in love with Boise & settling down, Sheila had been an avid traveler, learned to speak fluent Spanish amidst tours from Mexico to Central & South America, including volunteering in a Guatemalan scholastics program for children in need. She also lived and worked remote on Baronof Island in Alaska for several years (no roads, electricity, or internet, & a population that you can count on your fingers) at a NOAA research facility. Before her explorations of the Americas, she received an extended BA in International Affairs, with dual minors in Spanish & Classical Guitar Performance at Northern Arizona University.

Honestly, I am thanking my lucky stars for a friend referring me to Sheila Smith. We can not say enough positive things about her. Our sale of our home-the entire experience- would have been so different had we not had Sheila and her knowledge/experience/perseverence/patience/professionalism/ and sense of humor. She is someone you can pick up on her genuineness immediately. Always made us feel #1. Always went out of her way to help. Always trustworthy. Always made herself available. Always. Very committed and excellent negotiator. Make the first step and introduce yourself to her. You will feel just like me. Thankful!!!

Shiela Smith was recommended to me when I was wanting to List my Home for a Short Sale...She was unlike any other Realtor I have ever listed a Hame with. She went Above and beyond of what I expected. She helped me with the paper work and was so Cheerful and Caring, I felt like I had met an old friend.....What a Comforting feeling in the Miiddle of my Storm....The next day after listing I had a For Sale sign up...and flyers available to potential buyers. She was available to me whenever I had a Question, and her assistant, Jenn, was amazing....What a Team! I had Complete Confidence in Shiela and would Recommend her to Everyone who needed an Knowledgeable Realtor, and One who will Go the Extra Mile and get the Job DONE!!!
