What do Clients Say?

We could not have been more pleased with our experience purchasing a home through Alei. We made several trips from out of town to look at homes with her but even more helfpul were the video walk throughs she did for us with thoughtful commentary on homes we were not able to visit in person. She has a good sense of what homes/neighborhoods are valued at and was able to get us into the home we wanted at the price we wanted.

Alei helped us sell our home. I have bought and sold homes before. I have worked with many real estate agents. Alei is of a different class. There is no comparison with any of my past experiences. She literally partnered with us in selling the house. She would even suggest alternatives that were beneficial to us but may not be for her. No other agent I have worked with has done something like this. When selling a house there are always questions on what to change/improvise/fix. Alei identified such items then waited for us to make those decisions providing details and finding contractors. She managed all contractor activities, including scheduling, supervising and even billing, making it really easy for us. When it was all done, Alei further improved the aesthetic of the house. Other agents would have pointed what they thought. But Alei asked us and managed these changes at no cost to us. This was just incredible. After signing the contract, we had some difficulty in clearing the house. Alei just took care of it all. The responsibility was ours, but she helped us without hesitation and even full-filled some wishes we had. I feel indebted to her for her support. Thank you Alei! I have heard from friends and family how after buying/selling homes, the agents become friends and in Alei’s case, folks have called her family. For me as a seller the important part is she took care of the transaction in a very professional and cordial manner, always looking out for our benefit. I strongly recommend Alei whether you are buying or selling. When I am in the market again, I will be going straight to her.

Eagle Idaho Home Owner

Alei is an amazing realtor and an even more amazing person. She makes you feel like family. My husband and I moved from out of state with our son. We didn’t really know anything about Eagle other than what we read online. Being born and raised in Eagle and having a family of her own here, Alei knows everything about Eagle and the surrounding areas. She was very helpful in answering all the questions we had about the area. She showed us so many amazing things to do as a family in Eagle. After hearing a little about what my husband and I were looking for she found us the perfect neighborhood to raise a family. We decided to build in one of the amazing communities Alei showed us. We were a little worried about building a house in Eagle while we lived so far way during the 6-month building process and not getting to see the progress every day. Alei went above and beyond for us during the building process. She would drive by the house all the time and send us picture and video updates. Anytime something came up with the builders she was always in our corner getting things done for us. She is an absolute professional who always had our best interest at heart. Alei started out as our amazing realtor and became an amazing friend!

Eagle Idaho New Home Owner

Alei helped us locate and buy our dream home for retirement. As we were located outside the US at the time we were looking for a home, Alei was very wise in the time management of our house hunting trip. She arranged viewings in such a way that within 6 hours on the first day she had a clear understanding of the type of home and lifestyle we were looking for. Boundless in positive energy, I remember her charming smile as she parted with us that evening. "Give me one night" were her parting words. Over the years we have moved 29 times. We have worked with many very good realtors, and some few who would do well to consider another occupation. Alei, alone, remains in a class of true distinction. True to her word, she found us exactly what we were looking for complete with magical mountain framed sunsets, a place for the grand piano, just enough square footage to justify our desire to downsize, an acre of land to keep the neighbors close by not stifling, and all overlooking a Norman Rockwell type valley. Her service did not stop with the closing of the sale. Rather she has continued to assist us in our transition into the Star, Idaho. She was there to help with insurance adjusters once our shipment arrived. She located landscape services, sprinkler guys, missing keys, and reputable car mechanics. Again, and again her advice has proved timely and wise. She is committed to embarking on each day and meeting every challenge with gusto, a quick wit and a joyous sense of celebration. In reflection, one has to wonder if the Boise area is called the Treasure Valley because Alei Merrill Gothberg is at the center of it.

Star Idaho Home Owner

Alei was so fantastic to work with and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. She made house hunting- what most people think of as stressful- a fun and easy experience for us. She knows the area inside and out, but more importantly gets to know her clients and what their needs are. She was always available, responsive, caring and knowledgeable. She was so sweet and even kept our energetic 3-year-old son entertained while we were house hunting. We are so grateful for Alei, we love our new home!
