About

Some mornings start with coffee. Mine start with gratitude — for faith, for family, and for the privilege of helping others find where their stories unfold. After 40 years in the real estate industry and hundreds of homes sold, I’ve learned that a home isn’t measured in square footage — it’s measured in moments. The laughter echoing through the kitchen, the smell of Sunday supper, the quiet peace after a long day. That’s what drives me. Not the transaction, but the transformation — the moment a house becomes home. As a Realtor and founder of the Be Home Team, I believe every client deserves honesty, heart, and an educated advisor who listens before leading. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, a 10th time seller, or a military family relocating to your next Duty Station, I bring experience, integrity, and a deep understanding of what “SOLD” truly means. Because for me, real estate isn’t just a career — it’s a calling.

"I am thrilled to share my experience working with Ida Bear as my realtor. From the moment I started working with her, I knew I was in great hands. Her professionalism and expertise were evident every step of the way. As a young adult with little experience in the real estate world, I honestly felt a bit overwhelmed at first. But Ida went above and beyond to guide me through the entire process, always patient and incredibly knowledgeable.

She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in a home, and she didn’t just show me properties; she showed me the right properties. Ida worked tirelessly to ensure I found the perfect place at the right price, and I was amazed by how well she understood my needs. Her attention to detail and commitment to finding the ideal home for me truly set her apart.

What I really appreciated was how she took the time to educate me. She helped me understand the key things to look for in a house, from the condition of major systems to potential red flags. This not only gave me confidence in my decision but also made me feel empowered throughout the entire process.

I was so impressed with Ida's dedication that I also asked for her help selling my previous home, and once again, she delivered exceptional results. If I could take her with me to my new location, I absolutely would. Unfortunately, she's not available where I live now, but I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor who is not just professional but genuinely cares about her clients. If you’re looking for a realtor who will go the extra mile and make sure you find exactly what you need, Ida Bear is the one to call!"

We felt fully confident that she would get us the best deal and follow through until closing (and beyond)! Ida gives 100% to every aspect of her business and life. Once you work with her, you understand why she is so successful!"

"I've purchased 3 houses throughout my life. Ida was by far the best realtor I ever had. She made the house buying experience easy and fun! At some point our Family intends to move back to Washington State. Ida will be my first call!!"
