Born and raised in Wallace, Idaho, North Idaho has always been my home. Studying at both University of Idaho and North Idaho College, I earned my AAS in Paralegal Studies in the spring of 2007. I spent the next eight years working in the North Idaho legal community as a paralegal, gaining invaluable experience in real estate law, contracts, negotiation, and the attention to detail that every successful transaction requires.
After meeting my husband and discussing our goals for the future, I decided to make a career change into real estate. It was a natural transition. My years of legal experience gave me a strong foundation, but real estate offered something even more meaningful—the opportunity to work directly with people and use my knowledge and experience to help them make some of the most important decisions of their lives.
My legal background has continued to be an important part of my real estate career. Over the years, I have been sought out and recommended by attorneys and mediators throughout the First District Bar, who recognize the value of my legal knowledge, attention to detail, negotiation skills, and commitment to my clients.
Who is your REALTOR®?
There are more choices for a real estate agent today than ever before. You see agents everywhere—on billboards, in advertisements, across social media, and in your mailbox. But I have always believed that being a good REALTOR® isn't about how often people see your face. It's about what your clients experience when they work with you.
For the past 14 years, I have built my business almost entirely through people who know, like, and respect me, along with referrals from those clients. I have never wanted my business to be about chasing the next sale, internet generated leads, or working with as many people as possible. Instead, I have focused on building genuine relationships and providing an exceptional experience for every client who puts their trust in me.
Quality over quantity has always been the way I do business.
Real estate transactions can be complicated, emotional, and sometimes stressful. My legal background gives me a unique perspective when it comes to contracts, negotiations, and protecting my clients' interests, while my years in real estate have taught me that the most important part of this business is still the people.
I was once told, "It matters who says it." So rather than simply telling you how I work, here is what some of my clients and colleagues have said:
“With Lianne’s work ethic, attention to detail, creativity and customer service, she will make your goals her first priority and assure a positive outcome for you and your family.”
— Barry McHugh, Former Kootenai County Prosecutor and District Court Judge
“Bright, motivated and energetic. You can count on Lianne to get results.”
— Scot Nass, Real Estate Attorney
“Lianne is driven to excellence and works hard for her clients. You can always trust a girl with North Idaho roots!”
— Marsha Dornquast, Satisfied Buyer
After 14 years in real estate, my philosophy remains simple: listen carefully, work hard, pay attention to the details, negotiate fiercely when it matters, and treat every client as though they are my only client.
Whether you are buying your first home, selling a longtime family property, investing, or simply trying to understand what your options are, don't hesitate to reach out to see if we are a good match.
Your goals come first. Always.
