our team members - the details

Jill Giese - Team Leader, Pricing & Negotiations Specialist

Jill trains and leads the JGA team and is focused on getting sellers’

homes sold! Jill’s real estate business has grown substantially each year

since beginning her career in 2005 and she consistently ranks among

the top agents in the Treasure Valley. In her life before real estate, she

worked in marketing and communications, and as a remodeling contrac-

tor.

Jill has lived in the North End for most of the last twenty years. Other

than a stint traveling in Europe and working for a dot-com in New York,

she’s been living and working in Boise. Her parents and siblings are all

in the area and she currently lives with her cat, Riley, and her dog,

Poppy.

She loves biking, skiing, running, camping, films, reading, gardening,

and many more of the great things Boise has to offer!

Debra Hodges - Buyer Agent, Associate Broker

With 15 years of real estate experience in Washington, D.C. and Boise,

Debra brings a depth of knowledge about the real estate buying and

selling process and is ready to guide our clients step-by-step through

their real estate transactions.

Debra spent the greater part of the 90s in the real estate fast lane as a

member of Alexander & Associates at Long & Foster Real Estate which

earned recognition as the #1 real estate team in Washington, DC. Dur-

ing her nine years at Alexander & Associates Debra participated in more

than 1,000 real estate transactions running the full spectrum from con-

sultation to closing. Debra became an expert in negotiating the best

price based on market conditions and is very knowledgeable about all

aspects of a real estate transaction.

After the events of September 11, 2001, Debra rethought her priorities

and opted for a quieter life in Boise. Her awesome friend drove cross-

country with her and her dog, through a white out blizzard in St. Louis

and a driving cross-wind on the flats of Wyoming. After arriving in town,

she joined SelEquity Real Estate where she excelled in the new home

real estate market.

why Keller Williams realty

Many people ask us if we work on our own or with a brokerage. Basically, every real estate agent

must work under a licensed broker until/unless they become a broker themselves. A broker's

license allows the licensee to operate a real estate office and additional experience and education is

required in order to receive a broker's license.

Brokers are responsible for the real estate activities of all salespeople licensed under them and all

real estate activities are performed in the broker's name. Therefore, when you hire a real estate

agent, your business relationship is officially with the brokerage that agent works with.

In our case, we are independent contractors/agents working with Keller Williams Realty Boise and

our licensed broker is Erica Hill. So if you have any complaints or kudos, Erica is who you send

them to! Fortunately in our case, all feedback thus far has been positive!

Many real estate companies can offer you the same things. However, here are things ONLY Keller

Williams can offer and the reason we chose Keller Williams as our brokerage!

Keller Williams Culture

We are the only real estate company with a written culture (WI4C2Ts) — an ethically based

company culture focused on doing the right thing for the customer. This is the foundation from

which we build our business.

Highly Trained Agents

Keller Williams has the best training available to agents — this ensures the sale or purchase of your

home will be conducted professionally.

Profit-sharing Company

Keller Williams is a profit-sharing company. Because we know that the better an individual agent

does, the better we all do, this ensures everyone at Keller Williams is working together for you.

#1 in the Treasure Valley and #2 real estate company in North America

Keller Williams Realty is the fastest growing real estate company in North America! This is

beneficial to you because we promote and sell many of our own listings — you have an entire

company of agents working to sell your home or help you find your dream home.

what our clients say

“From their website to the final closing, Jill and team are serious and professional real es-

tate agents that we highly recommend. They made sure everything went through and an-

swered all of our MANY questions promptly and accurately. And when the appraiser made

a big mistake, Jill acted fast to make sure everything was corrected and put back on track.

Honestly, without them our deal would have fallen through and we would not be in our

new home now (unimaginable). Jill and team made it happen for us. We couldn't have

asked for better representation and would gladly refer them to anyone looking.”

-Mark and Kristi

“Jill and her team were great with all the support I had through the whole process. Not

only were they extremely helpful finding exactly the kind of house I wanted, but I received

daily updates with new home listings in my interest area which were crucial to me being

able to make a timely offer. Jill made sure to get my attention when my home came on

the market and made sure I got in a viewing appointment as soon as possible.”

-Ross Miller

“Let me just say one thing about Angie: she is wonderful! She is so great about answering

questions and providing us with information. We just love her!”

-Gordon & Carol McAllister
