our team members - the details
Jill Giese - Team Leader, Pricing & Negotiations Specialist
Jill trains and leads the JGA team and is focused on getting sellers’
homes sold! Jill’s real estate business has grown substantially each year
since beginning her career in 2005 and she consistently ranks among
the top agents in the Treasure Valley. In her life before real estate, she
worked in marketing and communications, and as a remodeling contrac-
tor.
Jill has lived in the North End for most of the last twenty years. Other
than a stint traveling in Europe and working for a dot-com in New York,
she’s been living and working in Boise. Her parents and siblings are all
in the area and she currently lives with her cat, Riley, and her dog,
Poppy.
She loves biking, skiing, running, camping, films, reading, gardening,
and many more of the great things Boise has to offer!
Debra Hodges - Buyer Agent, Associate Broker
With 15 years of real estate experience in Washington, D.C. and Boise,
Debra brings a depth of knowledge about the real estate buying and
selling process and is ready to guide our clients step-by-step through
their real estate transactions.
Debra spent the greater part of the 90s in the real estate fast lane as a
member of Alexander & Associates at Long & Foster Real Estate which
earned recognition as the #1 real estate team in Washington, DC. Dur-
ing her nine years at Alexander & Associates Debra participated in more
than 1,000 real estate transactions running the full spectrum from con-
sultation to closing. Debra became an expert in negotiating the best
price based on market conditions and is very knowledgeable about all
aspects of a real estate transaction.
After the events of September 11, 2001, Debra rethought her priorities
and opted for a quieter life in Boise. Her awesome friend drove cross-
country with her and her dog, through a white out blizzard in St. Louis
and a driving cross-wind on the flats of Wyoming. After arriving in town,
she joined SelEquity Real Estate where she excelled in the new home
real estate market.
our team members - the details (cont.)
Debra resides in East Boise where you can find her with her husband and
their two daughters enjoying all of the treasures that downtown Boise offers,
including breakfast at the Roosevelt, hiking in the foothills, the zoo and the
Idaho Botanical Gardens.
Diana Sledzieski - Showing Agent
As a native Idahoan, Diana’s love for Idaho, Boise and the surrounding area
fuels her passion for helping buyers find and buy their perfect home. Her spe-
cial talent is connecting with buyers to understand more than just their needs
but their desires and how they really live in a home. Diana’s professional
background includes 23 years with HP in customer service, training develop-
ment, and marketing programs & communication. She was also a private
business owner of Inspired Spaces Design and Satya Marketing Consulting
Services.
When she’s not searching for that perfect home or on showing appointments
with buyers, you will find Diana spending time with her husband and family,
including her Havanese dog Max, learning to play the piano, gardening, or
walking or biking on the beautiful Boise Greenbelt.
Angie Barbosa - Transaction Coordinator
Angie Barbosa brings over 20 years of excellent client care and administrative
assistant experience, with a background in the legal and real estate fields.
She has worked with several other real estate teams in the past and knows
what it takes to navigate your purchase or sale successfully from contract to
close!
With Angie managing your transaction, no detail will fall through the cracks!
Aaron Nelson - Executive Assistant
As the Executive Assistant, Aaron is responsible for assisting Jill in leading
and managing the team. Coming from a Portrait Studio and Journalism back-
ground, Aaron enjoys the fast-paced environment and the different day to
day challenges he comes across. He is the hub of the team, answering the
phones, coordinating appointments and making sure the day to day items
are running smoothly. Feel free to fire off a funny joke when you get him on
the phone.
Aaron moved to the North End of Boise 3 years ago after checking out a cou-
ple states and deciding Idaho’s vast public land access fit him well.
why Keller Williams realty
Many people ask us if we work on our own or with a brokerage. Basically, every real estate agent
must work under a licensed broker until/unless they become a broker themselves. A broker's
license allows the licensee to operate a real estate office and additional experience and education is
required in order to receive a broker's license.
Brokers are responsible for the real estate activities of all salespeople licensed under them and all
real estate activities are performed in the broker's name. Therefore, when you hire a real estate
agent, your business relationship is officially with the brokerage that agent works with.
In our case, we are independent contractors/agents working with Keller Williams Realty Boise and
our licensed broker is Erica Hill. So if you have any complaints or kudos, Erica is who you send
them to! Fortunately in our case, all feedback thus far has been positive!
Many real estate companies can offer you the same things. However, here are things ONLY Keller
Williams can offer and the reason we chose Keller Williams as our brokerage!
Keller Williams Culture
We are the only real estate company with a written culture (WI4C2Ts) — an ethically based
company culture focused on doing the right thing for the customer. This is the foundation from
which we build our business.
Highly Trained Agents
Keller Williams has the best training available to agents — this ensures the sale or purchase of your
home will be conducted professionally.
Profit-sharing Company
Keller Williams is a profit-sharing company. Because we know that the better an individual agent
does, the better we all do, this ensures everyone at Keller Williams is working together for you.
#1 in the Treasure Valley and #2 real estate company in North America
Keller Williams Realty is the fastest growing real estate company in North America! This is
beneficial to you because we promote and sell many of our own listings — you have an entire
company of agents working to sell your home or help you find your dream home.

back to the community. We voluntarily contribute money each time a transaction closes to assist
this wonderful cause.

what our clients say
“From their website to the final closing, Jill and team are serious and professional real es-
tate agents that we highly recommend. They made sure everything went through and an-
swered all of our MANY questions promptly and accurately. And when the appraiser made
a big mistake, Jill acted fast to make sure everything was corrected and put back on track.
Honestly, without them our deal would have fallen through and we would not be in our
new home now (unimaginable). Jill and team made it happen for us. We couldn't have
asked for better representation and would gladly refer them to anyone looking.”
-Mark and Kristi
“Jill and her team were great with all the support I had through the whole process. Not
only were they extremely helpful finding exactly the kind of house I wanted, but I received
daily updates with new home listings in my interest area which were crucial to me being
able to make a timely offer. Jill made sure to get my attention when my home came on
the market and made sure I got in a viewing appointment as soon as possible.”
-Ross Miller
“Let me just say one thing about Angie: she is wonderful! She is so great about answering
questions and providing us with information. We just love her!”
-Gordon & Carol McAllister
we look forward
to working with you!
