People talk about the Idaho Lifestyle...

We live it.

Where it all started:

The Story behind guide.

In the complex world of real estate, life has shown us that mastering every subject is simply impossible. Understanding the Treasure Valley Real Estate Market demands not only dedication and specialization but also years of hands-on experience gained from successfully navigating thousands of transactions. This wealth of knowledge is precisely why discerning clients choose us—to leverage our expertise for their benefit.

 

The Guide Real Estate Services team was born out of a shared passion for the Idaho lifestyle and the vibrant Treasure Valley community. Comprised of seven full-time top-tier agents, we have come together with a common mission: to provide exceptional service tailored to our clients' unique needs. We recognize that the real estate business operates on a 24/7 clock, which is why our team is structured to work at the speed of business and around your schedule.

 

When you hire a guide, you’re looking to shorten the learning curve and achieve better results. We appreciate that the “how” behind those results is just as important as the outcomes themselves. Each member of our team has their own style and communication approach, driven by highly personal motivations for entering or exiting the market. Above all, our team understands the human side of real estate, bringing emotional intelligence to every interaction. This focus on genuine connection differentiates us in an industry often centered on transactions, allowing us to build meaningful relationships while navigating the complexities of the market.

Client Testimonials

Straight from the source.

“My husband and I recently used Mike Germain in the purchase of our new property. He also facilitated the sale of our previous residence and in both instances, was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He walked us through both endeavours with skill and attention to each and every detail. We were impressed with his caring and kindness and highly recommend his services.”

— FRANCIE LINK

“Chris Majors could not have been more helpful, attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. His input and advice on several issues proved to be spot-on, in the instances that we took it. In the instances that we did not take his advice, it was proven that we should have. We would use Chris again and recommend him highly for any high-dollar real estate transaction. If in doubt, take Chris’ advice.”

— DARRON

“We met Chris at a Parade of Homes. He was very congenial and knowledgeable without being pushy. Long story short. We bought a home. Throughout the entire process of buying, customizing and building, he was always there to help in whatever way he could. He made suggestions, pointed things of interest out or just listened to us. He never left us hanging or let us down.”

— KAREN

“We have had the pleasure of working with Joe Grubiak and Chris Majors on two separate occasions. Both transactions have gone flawlessly. We would HIGHLY recommend both to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. They will treat you like family...”

“Mike helped us find a home in Hazelwood Village and sell our home in Meridian. He is such a pleasure to work with. In difficult and stressful times, he has a way of putting our worries at ease. He is so patient and understanding. Mike's knowledge and expertise is amazing. We will recommend him to everyone.”

“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with both Mike and Daniel when we bought, sold, and built another home! We are from out of state, so it made the process more challenging for sure. The process of all three transactions could not have gone smoother! We relied heavily on these two guys to be our eyes and ears when we couldn’t be there, and they didn’t let us down! Mike even went above and beyond for us when he met the delivery people with our new refrigerator when we couldn’t be there! Both Mike and Daniel are very genuine guys who we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone buying or selling a home!”

— D TAYLOR

 

“Mike Germain has been great to work with. He is always professional and communicates regularly. The thing I’ve appreciated most is his honesty and straightforwardness about the process, the pros and cons, and the risks involved with any decision we made along the way in regards to selling our home. Selling and building a house can be very stressful and complicated, and Mike has been very helpful throughout the entire process. We had an offer on our home that we couldn’t refuse within five days of being on the market. He also gave us some good tips that saved us some money on proper sweat equity when selling a home. If you’re looking to sell, buy, or build, I would highly recommend Mike and Better Homes and Gardens. Tresidio, who Mike also works with, has also been great to work with. They are currently building us a beautiful home, and we are very excited.”

— MEREDITH

 

“Chris was very helpful, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He negotiated and assisted in selling our previous property while helping us with the purchase of our new home. He was very efficient and available for even the smallest tasks or questions. We would recommend him to anyone who needed a realtor they could trust and depend on. He did a great job! Thanks, Chris!”

— WAYDE

 

“When we decided to build a new home, we immediately were drawn to Reflection Ridge in south Meridian. Joe & Chris were extremely helpful and just on top of everything going on throughout the process of selling our previous home, selecting a lot, a builder, and the entire construction of our new home. We highly recommended them to other family and friends that were interested in going through the same process, and they did not disappoint! Just all around good, knowledgeable, and dependable guys that are hard to find these days!”

— TRENT & MARIONE

“Chris and Joe were nothing but a pleasure to work with. For such a stressful process of homebuying and selling, these guys go above and beyond and provided exceptional service. Very communicative, taking the time to listen, and never hesitating to fight for us. Strangers became friends. Our family cannot say enough about the quality and personable experience we received from them!”

— TODD & STEPHANIE

“Josh was phenomenal to work with. He made us feel highly educated on the new build experience and made us feel confident and supported every step of the way. Josh was present for every moment and truly advocated for us. We appreciated his strong communication skills and ability to partner so strongly with our builder. Josh is going to be our realtor for life! We are so pleased with our entire first-time home buyer experience and he truly made this process exciting for us.”
