It is a pleasure to recommend Steve Nicks as a realtor associate. Steve is very knowledgeable in the area of traditional home sales, and he was especially innovative in moving our home sale to completion when complications developed along the way. Steve was very patient and considerate in arranging showings of the property to be sold, and he was always available – even to a long distance Montana seller of a Phoenix home. Steve was there for us to support the sale from start to finish.

We want to thank you for all you did in the selling of our house on 840 E. Windsor Ave.! Things went very smoothly, and we were glad that we had you on our side. We could not have done without your insight and advice!
The only regret we have is in not sending this thank you to you sooner! And we love your newsletters!
Hope all is well with you and your family!

Steve Nicks did a great job for me. I will have all my friends see him first! Those who want Real Estate in Sandpoint of course.
Mr. Riesling - March, 2005
Chris made a very stressful process - selling a home and buying a new one - very comfortable. He made sure we understood all of the fine print and looked out for our best interests at every turn. There are a lot of realtors out there, but none will work harder for you than Chris Butterworth!

To Whom it May Concern,
I am a single mother of four children. I never thought I would be able to own a home of my own until the day I met Chris. The first time I met Chris he had a warm personality and a wonderful smile, he actually made us feel like family. Chris assured me that even though I was a first time buyer don’t give up hope because all things are possible and dreams can come true. I am truly happy to say that Chris helped make my dreams come true, I am now a Home Owner and very happy with my home. I would recommend Chris to anyone who’s looking for a home because Chris is the man for the job. He is patient and kind and he makes sure his client is satisfied with their choice and that’s very important to me. Thank you Chris for all you have done.
Sincerely Yours,
Lenora - January, 2005
Chris was very helpful in helping me find the home I wanted. I came from another state and was not sure about the various communities in and around Phoenix. Chris took the time to show me different houses in different cities and was very helpful in arranging a meeting time that did not conflict with my schedule. We ended up finding a great home in a terrific neighborhood. My home buying process was pleasant and I thank Chris for all his time and work. Whenever I had a question about the “buying a home” process, I knew I would be able to count on Chris for answers and advice. I would definitely recommend Chris to any person who is trying to buy a home.

It gives me great pleasure to commend your agent Steve Nicks. Not much more than a week ago, I telephoned your office regarding a piece of land displayed on sandpointonline.com. After identifying the property, Steve proceeded with, ‘Why is this property so important to you?’…. While we talked I was moved with Steve’s superb listening skills and his ability to focus on my goals in obtaining this property.
Without wasting much time, we flew out to meet Steve; the agent whom I was convinced would have everything prepared for a smooth sale. Steve took the time to view the property prior to out arrival, did some homework, and was meticulously organized. His level of professionalism is one that far exceeds a young man his age. Overall, we are most impressed with Steve’s level of communication and attention to detail.
He continues to apprise of us forthcoming details while always demonstrating exquisite courtesy. Frankly, we couldn’t ask to have been and continue to be, better served. Clearly this is an agent who truly deserves mention; a fine asset to your organization and a promising stellar real estate agent.

“I was talking to (someone in my office) about you being my Realtor and let him know how good and organized you are and that you have been the best Realtor I have ever had. Anyway, he was impressed.”
Keith - August, 2004
Chris recently handled the sale of our home. We had listed it ourselves and decided to turn over the listing to Chris. We couldn’t have been happier with the results, he sold our home in a matter of a few days. We were very impressed with Chris’s people skills, his knowledge, and expertise of the real estate industry. Our home selling was a pleasant experience and we have to give all the credit to Chris for making things run smoothly. We would definitely recommend Chris to any of our friends or acquaintances to help them with selling their home.
