MEET DAKRI

Glad you are here! The last 16 years have brought success to both my clients and myself. My team and I have negotiated and closed new housing for hundreds and hundreds of families. Currently a top producer and repeat Snake River MLS leader in volume year after year. This simply means that our formula for marketing, service and generosity is winning!

Years ago, I started my real estate career at the age of 18 and never looked back. Born in Rigby, Idaho and raised in a family specializing in land development and construction I have utilized this background knowledge to benefit my clients. My goal is to reach as many people as possible with service that is fair, honest, and ethical while building genuine relationships.

Together as a team, we have a mission/vision to give back to our community in ways that surprise people and have a lasting impact. To date, Rize Realty has raised and donated over $10,000 in the last few years to local charities, community events, and causes that are important to our clients. I commit to being real, staying open, listening to you & always putting you first. I look forward to serving you and yours soon.
