Searching for the right home or acreage can be a transformative experience. As you look for an estate, new home or desire to acquire new land, you’ll try to find one that meets all of your needs, not only internally but also externally. Finding the perfect neighborhood and surrounding community is as important as ensuring you have enough bedrooms, floor space, and lot size. If you have a family, you may want to live in a close-knit neighborhood near good schools and local attractions. Professionals might want to ensure their new home has a manageable commute time and access to curated restaurants perfect for business meetings.
All in all, the search for your new home can be an intimidating, even overwhelming, experience without guidance from a real estate agent adept at understanding the area market. When you work with Lisa Straza, you’ll benefit from her 16 years of experience in the business and her in-depth area expertise regarding the Kootenai County area of Northern Idaho.
It is possible to go straight to a listing agent or hire an attorney to initiate the buying process, but what buyers don’t always realize is that listing agents already have an allegiance––to the seller. When you hire a buyer agent, you’re hiring someone who is 100% on your side with only your best interests in mind.
Having a professional who will inspect contracts, offer support, negotiate on your behalf, and give you the insider scoop on potential off-market listings are critical advantages that can simplify the process and make it easier for you and your family. When you hire Lisa and her team, you can anticipate:
Use our advanced property search tool to refine results by selecting your ideal city, subdivision, price range, and property details like bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage.

Lisa’s extensive knowledge of Kootenai County encompasses everything from the best restaurants to the most popular attractions. If you’re interested in learning more about the area’s most notable destination spots, she can give you unprecedented intel on the region.
When searching for a home, you’ll likely want to keep tabs on community staples like The Golf Club at Black Rock and Gozzer Ranch.
