Your Guide Was Written by Idaho Locals — Not a Big Brand or Outsourced Content
We’re Nathan & Jamie Schraner, a husband-and-wife real estate team who has lived in multiple Treasure Valley cities over the past 15 years — and Jamie is a rare Idaho native. We know how overwhelming relocating can feel… and we’ve seen too many people move here only to move again within 3–5 years because they didn’t land in the right area.
We’re not a big team. We’re a local, husband-and-wife duo raising our three girls right here in the Treasure Valley. When you work with us, you get double the support, double the communication, and guidance rooted in real life — not scripts.
This guide was created to help you avoid that.
No spam.
Just helpful,
local insights.
