What Is the Life in Idaho Area Guide?

The Life in Idaho Area Guide is an Idaho relocation guide made for real estate agents. Every year This Is Boise writes, photographs, and designs this 80-page Boise relocation guide covering the whole Treasure Valley, then personalizes it for the agents who order it. Your clients see your name, photo, logo, and contact information on the cover and inside, and a guide that reads like it was written by someone who actually lives here, because it was.

Agents use the relocation guide to answer the hundred questions out-of-state buyers ask before they visit, to look like the local expert on day one, and to turn a free download into a lead. It is sold through our product site, boiseidahorelocationguide.com, where you can read about what is inside the guide, see every city it covers, and compare the 2027 packages.

What’s Inside the 80-Page Relocation Guide

Written by locals, not pulled from a database. Here is what your clients get in every Idaho relocation guide.

  • Local area information: Boise and each surrounding city, and what makes them different
  • Neighborhoods and schools: where people live and an overview of the districts
  • Seasonal events: what happens here in every season
  • Food, coffee, and breweries: local favorites, not chains
  • Parks, trails, and outdoor adventures: the Greenbelt, the foothills, the river, and weekend trips
  • Attractions and family activities: things to do with kids, date nights, day trips
  • Shopping and insider tips: the practical stuff people learn after they move
  • Local favorite lists and QR codes linking to maps, events, and resources

New in the 2027 Edition

Along with the yearly refresh of events, dining, and community picks, the 2027 guide adds new sections your clients will actually use:

  • City comparisons: how the Treasure Valley cities stack up side by side
  • Newcomer’s guide: the first things to handle after the move
  • Dog-friendly living: parks, trails, patios, and services for clients with dogs
  • Expanded transportation: getting around the valley, the airport, and commutes

The 2027 edition also brings new cover photos, eight color themes, and a redesigned cover layout. See what’s new in the 2027 Life in Idaho Area Guide.

How Local Real Estate Agents Use the Guide

Six ways Treasure Valley real estate agents put their relocation guide to work. Read more in how agents use a relocation guide to get more leads and the best ways to use your relocation guide.

Positions You as the Local Expert

Out-of-state buyers have a hundred questions about Boise. Handing them a complete guide answers most of them before the first call.

Generates New Leads

With the lead-capture landing page, anyone who wants the guide gives you their name and email to get it. Leads go to your inbox and CRM instantly.

Saves You Time

Instead of writing the same “here is what you need to know about Meridian” email for every client, send one link that covers the whole valley.

Professionally Designed

Designed and photographed locally, with discounted book-bound prints available. It is something clients keep.

Updated Every Year

Every edition is rebuilt with new events, restaurants, and community highlights, so you never hand out stale information.

Works Across Every Channel

Email, text, social media, QR codes at open houses, referral partners, printed copies at closings, and more.

A Landing Page That Turns Your Guide Into New Clients

A plain PDF gives your guide away for free. The Signature and Ultimate packages include a landing page with your photo and branding. When a prospect enters their name and email to get your guide, the lead is emailed to you instantly and added to your CRM automatically.

Share one link anywhere: email signatures, social media, QR codes at open houses, ads, and referral partners. We build the page and connect your CRM at no extra charge. BoldTrail, KW Command, Follow Up Boss, HubSpot, Lofty, Sierra Interactive, Real Geeks, CINC, and most others are supported.

The Ultimate package includes ten printed copies.

Printed guides are the ones that stay on the coffee table through the whole move, and they make a memorable closing gift.
