I attended Oregon State University and graduated with a B.S. in Agriculture. I worked for the University and a number of companies related to agriculture and then was given the opportunity to work for U.S. Bank as their Farm & Ranch Trust Officer. That gave me my first exposure to the field of real estate and the managing and selling of farm and ranch property.

It has been a tradition in my family for the oldest child to move at least out of state, if not to a new country, and true to this tradition, I moved to Idaho.

First Security Bank recruited me to Idaho to manage their Trust Real Estate Department. That's what brought me to the McCall area. I fell in love with this part of the mountains, ended up buying several pieces of property and dreaming of getting a job that (1) didn't involve being on the road half the time and (2) gave me the chance to live here year around.

I've been living and working in the real estate business in McCall since 1999. Knipe Land Co., Inc. has been in business in Idaho for over 60 years. We are members of the Mountain Central Multiple Listing Service and the Intermountain Multiple Listing Service. You may be familiar with the Range Writer, the Knipe Land Co. publication that is sent out to over 100,000 people every year. This gives us an edge when we are marketing a property. It also gives us an edge when we are trying to help you find a property. In our current market, having a Realtor that is working for you can give you an edge. Have you ever been frustrated to find that every property you call on seems to already have an offer in place? If I know what you are looking for I can help make your offer the one that is first in line. Let me help you buy or sell your property in our area.

Injuries keep me from being able to hit the ski slopes any more, but you will find me outside no matter what time of the year, usually in the Secesh/Warren area if I'm not working.

As you can see, I usually can't just join an organization, I get involved. That's what I'll do for you too. I'll work hard to find the property you are dreaming of if you are buying or I will work hard to sell your property, exposing it to as many potential buyers as is possible.
