Safe and Pet Friendly Properties

The working life of a Realtor and Property manager is rewarding and builds lasting relationships with your clients.  Finding homes in about half of the clients in today’s world involves pets and the right environment.  They should be safe and accessible to your pets. I too manage properties.

That is why I am disturbed, (being a pet lover), when my friend in the River Pointe apartments cat was removed from the premises after being baited and trapped.  The complex boasts pets are accepted. 
It not only is sad her Family was stolen and removed to another area other than turning it over to the humane society, but what happens next? Carefully investigate the property management about pets when you are choosing your living space for you and your pets.

Top 10 turnaround towns

Boise's economy is an offbeat combination of old and new. The logging industry still pays a lot of the bills in town, but tech jobs have also become increasingly prevalent.

In fact, chip maker Micron Technology is Boise's biggest employer, according to the Boise Valley Economic Partnership. And lately, the food industry has heated up, enabling many of the area's agricultural-based companies to pump out increased profits, according to Clark Krause, the organization's executive director.

"We're hopeful that things are turning around," he said. "Even during the bad times, we had a net immigration of people and now there's a lot of new investment in construction and other industries."

That diversity of employers -- and the growing number of jobs they're offering -- is a prime reason this town is starting to stage a comeback.

According to Realtor.com, the number of homes for sale during the fourth quarter fell by 40% compared with a year earlier. That shrinking inventory should help drive home prices higher. Fiserv is forecasting annual home-price appreciation averaging 6.3% over the next five years.
