When leasing commercial real estate in the Boise Valley, make sure you pick the right team to help you - in your business you have a relationship with your CPA, your attorney, your IT / Web Team, you also need a commercial real estate agent to be your guide through the leasing maze. Commercial leasing terms and contracts vary around the country and you need a local commercial real estate agent familiar with customary lease terms in the Boise SMSA to ensure your interests are protected.

The Federal Reserve has taken significant action in the last few weeks due to the credit crunch. And now they've made an unexpected move by cutting the discount window rate. This is great news, but what does it really mean?

Don't put those chemicals on your yard!! do you know the average homeowner puts more chemicals on their yard per sq ft that farmers, and homeowners are not required to have EPA licenses! There are better ways to maintain your landscape. Zamzows has been helping local Idaho residents do this for over 35 years. In fact have you heard their new commercial? NATURAL!! There are others as well...

I did some recent retrofit work on a Home Performance with Energy Star improvement a couple weeks ago, and was very impressed by the subcontractor that was referred to us to do the roofing. This was particularly refreshing because of the multiple roofing jobs that I have looked at or consulted on where the roofer was clearly uneducated about proper roof flashing or just did not care. can you do it wrong and not have roof leaks? Yes you can for the first couple years, but eventually it will leak.
