OK, here it goes. The whole story:
My wife and I have family in Idaho. We are currently located in St. Louis, Missouri and have been looking to relocate due to the politics and slow downward spiral. I looked at property after property online and had many prospects in the Bonner County area. The problem was, we were thousands of miles away and needed someone local to help us get things partially figured out before I spent a small mint on plane tickets. I called a handful of brokers and felt dismissed and ignored. I don't know if it was the distance or what we were looking for (a forested blank slate to build our dreams on), but we were NOT getting the help we needed.
I decided to call CENTURY 21 Riverstone one morning while at work. I didn't factor the time zones and called before they were open. Someone still answered the phone and connected me to the only person in the office at the time, who was Raphael Barta. I spoke with him for probably 30 minutes and instantly felt I was being listened to. Raphael set the stage for me to fly out with a handful of potential properties, an idea of what we wanted and a prayer. He was able to go through my 10 potential properties and weed out he ones which didn't fit our final plan. He also added a few we were not aware of. The property I was most interested in had been pulled off of the market a few weeks before. I showed the old paperwork to him and he was able to track it down, verify it was still available and contact the sellers. I spend the next few days looking at each property and finally making a decision on what we wanted. We started things, went through the paperwork and I had to come back to St. Louis and resume my life. Raphael continued the process and followed through on everything without fail. Raphael fought for us and made things work when it was looking bleak. The end result was us getting a great deal on the exact property we wanted.
Raphael was a man of virtue, who was a Godsend to us when we needed him most. Because of him we now have the foundation to build our future on....
