Agent bios quote a career number and leave it there. "Over $20 million sold." "Hundreds of happy clients." The number is unverifiable, the years behind it are invisible, and the thin ones are quietly folded into the good ones.
Here is ours with the folding undone. 103 closings between 2006 and 2026, every year shown, including the years with nothing in them.
The whole record

Two years are missing on purpose. There is no row for 2007 or 2010, because we hold no closing records for them. Some of that is a career that has not run at one steady pace for two decades, and some of it is simply that these are the transactions we hold records for rather than a certified career ledger. We would rather show the gaps than round them away.
What the shape actually says
The business is recent, but it is not new. 65 of the 103 closed in 2021 or later, so most of this record is from the last five years. The other 38 are spread thinly across fifteen years before that, which is a different claim than "twenty years of constant volume" — and we are not going to let the date do work the record does not support.
It has always been both sides of the table. The earliest closing in this record, in 2006, is a buyer. So is roughly half of every period since. That is worth saying plainly because an earlier version of this page said the opposite: until October 2026 we held a partial record that made the first eighteen years look like a pure listing business. Shannon's buyer work from 2006 onward was simply not in the file yet. It is now, and the correction runs the other way than it usually does — the record got longer and more mixed, not shorter.
Buyer work is the larger half. 61 of 103 closings are buyer-side against 42 on the listing side, and in 12 of the 19 years we hold any record for, the buyer column is the taller one. If you are buying, you are not hiring a listing practice that also does buyers.
The listing side is where the measured work is. We hold a listing date as well as a closing date for 22 of the 42 listing-side sales, which is why how long it takes to sell a house in Boise is built on those 22 and not on all 103. Buyer-side closings tell you nothing about how long a listing takes.
We are telling you this because it is the kind of thing that matters when you are choosing who to work with, and it is exactly the kind of thing an agent bio is designed to hide.
Where they were
| City | Closings |
|---|---|
| Boise | 59 |
| Nampa | 10 |
| Garden City | 7 |
| Meridian | 5 |
| Caldwell | 5 |
| Fruitland | 4 |
| Eagle | 4 |
| Mountain Home | 2 |
| Gardena | 1 |
| Donnelly | 1 |
| New Plymouth | 1 |
| Payette | 1 |
| Emmett | 1 |
| Star | 1 |
| Weiser | 1 |
Boise is 59 of 103, a little over half. Add Nampa, Garden City, Meridian, Caldwell, Eagle and Star and you have 91 of 103 inside the Treasure Valley.
The other twelve are a fair test of the claim. Fruitland is four closings and Mountain Home two; Gardena, Donnelly, New Plymouth, Payette, Emmett and Weiser are one each, all well outside the valley. If you own a home in Donnelly, the honest reading of this table is that we have closed exactly one property there, not that we know the market. We would rather you knew that before you called than after.
What this record cannot tell you
It does not tell you what any of them sold for. We hold asking prices, not sale prices, so no figure on this site claims to be a sale price and none ever will until we have the data to support it. That is not modesty about our records: Idaho does not require anyone to disclose what a home sold for, which is why the portals cannot show you those numbers either.
It does not tell you about the deals that did not close. Listings that expired, withdrew or went pending and fell apart are tracked separately in our own records and are not in this count. One cancelled sale from 2019 was removed from this list in October 2026 for exactly that reason. In the same pass one house came back twice from two different sources — the same buyer-side purchase, sixteen days apart on the two records — and it is counted once, on the version we could check against the MLS. Any agent's closing list is by construction a list of the ones that worked.
And it does not tell you about the years with no row. Absence of a record is not proof of absence of work; it is just absence of a record, and we are not going to dress it up as either.
Why publish this at all
Because everything else on this site that quotes a number depends on it.
When we say the median time from listing to closing across our own sales is 34 days, or that six of our sales took sixty days or more, those figures come from this same record. If it is not visible, the numbers built on it are just assertions with decimal places. Publishing the record is what makes the rest of it checkable — and it is what let us correct it: this page went from 46 closings to 103 in October 2026 because the agents went back through two decades of their own files, and every added row was checked against the Intermountain MLS where the feed carries it.
The two pages built directly on it are how long it takes to sell a house in Boise, which lists every one of our 22 seller-side sale times individually, and why some Boise homes sit for months, which shows the six slowest. Our read on seasonality is in the best time to sell a home in Boise.
If you want to know whether we have done anything resembling your situation, ask us — and if the answer is that we have not, we will say so.
