John was phenomenal during the whole process of looking for a loan, searching for houses and then finally helping me put in an offer. He was very patient as it took me awhile to finally decide on the house that I wanted. He was there to help me with everything, even negotiated a few extra's on the house which was nice. I would highly recommend John when purchasing your next home as he is very knowledgeable and with his connections will find all the right people to help you.

Shaun DeYager was more than just a realtor. He treated us like family. For three years he patiently showed us every house we wanted to see, pointing out issues we would have missed without his expertise. His guidance was extremely valuable and his attitude was always positive. We are so grateful to have had Shaun as our realtor. We are now enjoying our new home thanks to him.

John is one of the most passionate and loyal realtors who strives to help our Veterans and their families to find the right options for finding a new home and at times their forever home after traveling the world and serving our country. He is also well connected in the community and spends time as a servant leader across multiple organizations.

Heath was amazing at helping me through purchasing my 1st home. Heath was very responsive to all my questions and was able to set up viewing times that worked for my schedule within a very short period of time. Within 4 days of 1st calling him to help me find a home we visited several, found the one for me, made and had my offer accepted. Heath has gone above and beyond all my expectations during my home buying process.

Moving from California to Idaho is a big deal and even bigger when you also have 7 kids, a dog, and 2 cats! Shaun was incredible at taking us on detailed video tours of houses, answered every single question, and made us feel like we were there through the whole process. He went the extra extra mile to ensure we were happy with our choice and got the best deal on our new house. We feel so excited on our new adventure and 100% recommend Shaun for your next home sale or purchase!

Shaun was very responsive from the beginning. Due to circumstances, we had to sell and move quickly. The night we got back into town Shaun met me at the house to start the process. WithIn two weeks we had a full price offer and accepted. The last two weeks of the closing there were issues (with the buyers). Shaun did an excellent job keeping us informed and worked behind the scenes to make sure the deal stayed together and it did. I would not hesitate to recommend Shaun for your real estate needs. Thank you Shaun.

Heath is definitely one of a kind. Always willing to put others before himself in all dealings. When you're making the biggest decision of your life, buying a new home, it matters who walks with you. Heath is who you want by your side through the entire process. His work ethic is unmatched.

We had decided to move not only to a new state, but to a state we had zero familiarity with to boot! We have relatives in north Idaho, but no one to reach out to as far as realtor recommendations in the Treasure Valley area. I went to Google and Yelp and explored what former clients had said, and went through a lot of realtor bios. Mike just kind of clicked. Everyone had kind reviews with no negatives. The real test though was the real person phone call. Mike was very interested in why we were moving and very motivated to show us around so we could get to know the area. Mike’s knowledge of the area was invaluable to us; without Mike we might have made a costly mistake with our purchase, with Mike we are now settled into a great, comfortable and affordable home. Thank you Mike!!

Shaun was there every step of the way on two purchases that I made. He had answer on most of my questions and the ones he didn't he always got in a timely manor. he was very positive every step of the way. when I need a agent in a few years He'll be the agent I call. We also have come to be very good friends.

From our first meeting with Heath, we knew he was one of a kind. Not only is Heath very professional, but he demonstrates strong ethical character traits. He's reliable, thoughtful, and caring... going out of his way to assist and bring value wherever he can. Heath's experience and strong communication skills are evident in the questions he asks and the insights he shares throughout the process. He's clearly respected and appreciated by peers and colleagues as observed in all the interactions he had with others in the trade. All of these characteristics led us to have a very positive and productive experience working with him. Heath has been such a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase (or sell) a home.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with John Schied on several projects and can confidently say that he brings both professionalism and genuine care into every interaction. John is more than just a real estate agent—he’s a true advocate for his clients. He listens closely, communicates clearly, and consistently goes the extra mile to ensure people feel supported throughout the process.
What sets John apart is his character. He approaches his work with integrity, a servant’s heart, and the mindset of a trusted friend who always has your best interest at the forefront. Whether in business or in community, John shows up with kindness, dedication, and a commitment to excellence.
For anyone considering working with him, know that you’re not just getting a Realtor—you’re gaining a partner who will look out for you, guide you with expertise, and make the experience both positive and memorable.

Heath was very patient with my husband and I with arranging many showings for us to look at many houses. He worked tirelessly to ensure we were able to secure the hime we fell in love with. He made sure to send us all disclosures as quickly as possible and explained everything in terms we could understand. He was always willing to answer all our questions. He was very pleasant to work with and we highly recommend him for your future home needs!

Heath took over for another property manager I had and did such a great job. I had two rental listings and a home sale going on at the same time. My worry was since I was out of state I would not be able to handle it but Heath took care of everything and made the process much easier.

My wife and I decided to look for a home in Idaho to retire. After 40 years in a big city on the east coast, we craved a slower-paced life in semi-rural Idaho within 30-40 minutes of Boise. John worked with us to find the perfect home on a hilltop with views that go on for miles. John made the process sooooo easy and negotiated a very fair deal. John provided outstanding advice at all hours of the day! He hooked us up with the best mortgage broker too! (John seems to know everybody!) We could not have been happier with the overall shopping and buying experience. And we could not be happier now having moved into our new home. My wife and I strongly recommend John to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Idaho!

Heath was so great! He was flexible and willing to facilitate our realestate needs while shopping around for housing while not in Idaho. He did a great job at outlining our options once we found a house we lived and facilitated a easy closing window. Highly recommend!

I told John that the last thing we wanted to deal with was selling my mother-in-law’s house. He took on the job and handled all the details so we didn’t have to. He truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and communicated extremely well with the other party. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience.
I highly recommend John for both selling and buying. He managed the entire process so seamlessly, and even when I felt like I was being difficult, he took everything in stride and made me feel heard. An exceptional experience from start to finish.

I highly recommend John Schied as a Realtor. John was an outstanding partner for my son throughout his home-buying process. He was highly professional, consistently followed up, and kept him informed every step of the way. John made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. He brought a wealth of resources and expertise that helped ensure the purchase crossed the finish line successfully. He was also incredibly easy to talk to, approachable, and genuinely warm. Anyone would be lucky to have John in their corner when navigating real estate.

I’ve known John now for almost four years. There’s one thing I’ve learned about him in that time. He will always be ready and willing to give the shirt off his back to help in anyway he can. From start to finish he is always there for you, answering any possible questions that may come up in the process. He’s created an extremely reliable and professional team around him making the process of home buying that much more seamless. John is a straightforward guy that will get the job done and done right. I would highly recommend John to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate.

We have never met a more professional, kind, and patient real estate agent. Shaun is incredibly knowledgeable and pointed out so many things we never would have noticed. We won’t mention how long he worked with us because we hope you find a house sooner, but let’s just say he was endlessly patient and never tired of showing us another property. He was always on time, advocated for us every step of the way, and even purchased a home warranty for us. You cannot go wrong with Shaun and if you are lucky, one of his adorable children might even join you on a walkthrough. Highly Recommend!

Heath VanPatten just might be one of the most upstanding people I’ve ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I met and started working with Heath in 2022. I quickly realized the value of his character, not only in what he says, but most importantly, in what he delivers through action. Heath’s principles hold true to doing what is right morally, and ethically to support any individual he interacts with. His willingness to succumb or forfeit for the sake of honesty and integrity are his most championed moments. He will only accept earning an opportunity, earning a friend, earning a business endeavor or earning a win for his team! I have seen Heath remain charitable, kind and forthright under the most compromising conditions. Time and time again, he always chooses the “high road” in his personal life, his business dealings, and at the final moments of a championship playoff game!
I strive daily, myself, to live up to HIS personal standards! He embodies what we deem every great leader, teacher, parent, friend and partner should be; to stay focused and have the ability to see the whole picture, make respectable decisions, stand for sound judgement, hold true to his convictions, and to fight everyday to be the best human possible! In any capacity, I’d welcome the opportunity to be in Heath’s company and friendship, to work on a project, close a business deal, navigate uncharted territory, or coach a team with. He holds all of my respect and admiration.

Shaun was helpful every step of the way. Selling a home can be stressful, but he assisted us in what little things we could do to upgrade our home to help get the most out of the sale. He is an honest realtor who is going to go the extra mile to help make the transaction as smooth as possible.

This was my first time buying a home. The confidence and support I received was beyond reassuring. Every detail was meticulously reviewed and explained. With something as big as this, Mike (my father) was the very agent EVERY person should have. His understanding of best practices, scheduling, and digging deep into the integrity of our property was paramount. The only regret one would have is NOT selecting Mike Walters as their agent.

We recently used Heath Van Patten as our realtor in purchasing our home in Meridian, Idaho. Heath was so easy to work with and very helpful throughout the whole process. We did everything on line as we were out of state until the day of closing. Besides his realtor duties, he helped us find movers, carpet cleaners and a great handyman. Working with Heath was awesome!

First and foremost, John is an incredible human being. He would be a credit to any organization. I've worked alongside John on several real estate transactions as well as networking events. Flat out - John cares! He will do anything within his power to help - and if he can't, he connects you with a solid person who can. Cannot say enough good things about John. I wish more real estate professionals would take a page out of John's book, but there's some stuff you just can't teach.

When I think of John these words come to mind; intelligent, hardworking, dedicated, honest, caring, and well connected. John sold my mother's home for me after she passed away. He managed and guided the entire process. Each time we needed to address any issue, John knew who to hire in order to get the job done quickly and expertly. It did not matter what we needed, John always had a person who addressed the issue. He made the sale go seamlessly from start to finish. It was a pleasure to work with him. John was always available through phone calls, text or emails. John always responded quickly. No matter what John was always available and always had answers for anything and everything. He held open houses almost every weekend.
The sale of my mother's home went so well, we immediately hired him to sell a vacation home we own in McCall, Idaho.
I highly recommend John Schied. He is truly an outstanding real estate agent and a great person.
