Looking for a house? I'll find you home!

Much of my career was spent outside of real estate, however:

I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs where aptitude for venture was greatly appreciated. Desire for something unexplored got me an international scholarship and a trip to Seattle to start my educational career. It was a challenging and positive experience, especially considering that I got to play college level basketball and enjoy Washington outdoors. Getting a Bachelor in Marketing and Finance was the first milestone in my professional development.

I returned to Russia realizing my opportunities to be valuable candidate in a developing economy. I secured a client executive position with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken and consider to be very fortunate to work for the 2nd largest bank in Scandinavia. I loved my management for the fact that they recognized hard work and rewarded their employees whenever we strived for new goals and showed results. In seven years I received two promotions and was encouraged to prove myself working not just in Russia but also in Finland and Sweden.

Those endeavors came to an end when I chose to come back to Seattle to take on a role of family man. I started a career at Chase Bank, but what felt customary made me complacent and monotonous. That’s when I found Best Choice to be my new team and real estate a new way to genuinely apply my skills and knowledge. I take great pride in being a counselor and helping clients with real estate matters. Finding a dream home is not luck, it's expertise and hard work. Best Choice team and I bring exactly that. Let me prove it to you!

Wake up. Step outside. Play. Substantial building envelope on Wildflower Way in the Gated Idaho Club golf community with clubhouse dining, pickleball, Pack River setting, Lake Pend Oreille minutes away, and Schweitzer on the horizon. Utilities in the community. Custom-build ready. There are golf-course lots, and then there are the rare homesites that actually live inside the architecture of the course. This is the second kind. On Wildflower Way, behind the gates of The Idaho Club, sits as one of the largest residential parcels with direct frontage on Idaho's only Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. It is not a sliver of turf with a borrowed view. It is a substantial, golf-wrapped canvas--wide enough, deep enough, and positioned closely enough to 7th, 8th, 9th holes that the morning ritual here is unlike almost anything else in North Idaho real estate. That is the feature that cannot be manufactured later. Before the first cart rolls off the range, before the starter's radio crackles, before the day finds the rest of the course, you can walk from your own grass onto the game. Imagine the sequence. Coffee on a covered deck while the first light hits the fairways. Clubs already by the door. No tee sheet for the first loop--just you, the three holes you touch, and the knowledge that the rest of the field is still in the parking lot. Three holes in thirty minutes is the golfer's boast this site actually supports: a private warm-up that becomes a private round before the clubhouse kitchen has finished prep. Then you come home, shower, and still beat the first public tee time to breakfast. The owner's line is the one that belongs in the headline: you can get three holes done in thirty minutes before anyone else gets to them. It is the golfer's version of a private first chair--three holes at first light, looped while the fairways are still empty, dew still on the bentgrass, Schweitzer and the Selkirks holding the last of the night. That is not a marketing flourish added after the fact. It is the geometry of the parcel. The lot is large enough, and close enough to those three holes, that the course is not something you drive to. Most golf-front homesites at The Idaho Club are measured in fractions of an acre that force the house, the garage, the patio, and the view into a tight envelope. This parcel is one of the largest sitting directly on the golf course. That extra land changes how you build and how you live. You get room for a true building envelope instead of a squeezed pad. Room for a motor court that does not eat the yard. Room for a covered outdoor living space that looks onto turf instead of a neighbor's sidewall. Room for the house to turn toward the holes you walk onto at dawn. A larger on-course parcel also means privacy that smaller lots cannot buy. Wildflower Way already carries that quiet, end-of-street character the community is known for--tranquil greenery, meadow adjacency on nearby sites, filtered mountain views toward Schweitzer Bowl and the Selkirks. Pair that with one of the biggest golf-front footprints and the result is a homesite that feels estate-like without leaving the heart of the course. The Idaho Club is Idaho's only Jack Nicklaus Signature Course--par 71, stretching to roughly 7,089 yards from the tips, slope in the mid-140s, bentgrass greens, bluegrass fairways, water in play across much of the routing. Nicklaus worked the Lower Pack River, wetlands, fir timber, and the rise of Moose Mountain into a layout that is both beautiful and exacting: forced carries, narrow landing zones, elevated and undulating greens. It is ranked among the best in the state for a reason. Living on it is different from visiting it. Living on this parcel is different from living on a typical on-course lot, because three holes are not a distant postcard. They are the morning walk. Inside the gates: clubhouse and restaurant (public dining with a serious local kitchen), pro shop, practice facilities, pickleball, membership options that range from social to golf, roads and gates maintained, winter plowing on the main routes. Typical Idaho Club lots are delivered with the utility stack that makes building straightforward--natural gas, power, community water, sewer, cable--so the work after closing is design and construction, not inventing infrastructure. Bring your own builder; the community is set up for custom homes!
