Charlie and team have the professionalism, experience and expertise needed to succeed in all markets. We were stuck trying to sell our home in a buyer's market and getting nowhere fast. We turned to Charlie and with his advice re-listed at the right price, with excellent photos and staging and better marketing. Charlie is a clear, honest and timely communicator. What a difference! We were under contract within a week, and got more than the asking price. Charlie also helped us through negotiating the inspection and getting a mutually acceptable outcome. Can't recommend Charlie and the Taranto group highly enough! We would trust them with any real estate transaction in North Idaho.

😄Excellence. Timely. Professional. This is our experience with Charlie and Candi Taranto. As out of town buyers, searching for our perfect lake home had its challenges, but the Taranto’s kept after the search until they found us the perfect match. We couldn’t be happier with their advise in the negotiation process. Even after the purchase, they continued to keep in touch, helping complete the transition process by connecting us with local businesses and utilities going beyond what we expected. We would highly recommend the Taranto group for your next home purchase or investment. 😊❤️Greg and Sam Dumitru

Realtors who became friends; realtors who guided us when we weren’t sure where to turn; realtors who made us laugh; realtors who never let us give up; realtors who redesigned the best spot for our couch for watching TV (they’ll know what we mean 😊); realtors who were tenacious; realtors whose grandchildren welcomed “dress-up clothes:” realtors who were dear people who became dear friends … these thoughts come to mind when we think about the experiences encountered from the minute we decided to put our house on the market just as the market flattened. Candy and Charlie were simply the right people for us at the right time and anyone would be lucky to be able to work with them in either selling or buying a home. We wish them all the best and as we leave Idaho they are a big part of the memories made during our 17 years in Post Falls. Barb and Bill Dean

I am very pleased with the service I received from the TarantoGroup. Shawn provided excellent advice throughout the transaction and helped me navigate the challenges associated with selling from my brother's estate. He did a great job of connecting me with vednors that provided services that prepared the house for sale. I highly recommend the TarantoGroup.

It was our good fortune to recently purchase a home with the help of Shawn Taranto. Throughout the process of finding and buying our new home, Shawn’s help was essential, professional and exceptional. We currently live out of state and were only able to search for homes during a few, periodic visits to the Coeur d’Alene area. With such constraints, searching for the right house could have been very frustrating. Shawn responded to that challenge and helped us focus our search effectively so that we found a great house despite the challenges resulting from our time/distance constraints. Shawn accomplished the task of effectively enabling our semi-remote search/purchase of a home by: * spending the time to understand what we were really looking for in a house. This enabled a very effective pre-filtering of the MLS listings that he streamed to us. * being willing to show prospective homes remotely over FaceTime. * spending time familiarizing us with the various localities in the region that allowed us to focus the limited time that we had available to drive around the area. * responding promptly and thoroughly to all of our questions. The timely and professional answers and conversations were essential to making progress in all aspects of our home search and purchase. * bringing in others with expertise in home construction/repair, mortgage financing and related areas that enabled us to reach confident conclusions regarding the various homes/financing we considered. * extending himself to help with the logistics of our remote search/purchase that could have otherwise proved very time-prohibitive/costly as the result of more airline flights and/or long drives * being positive, supportive and enthusiastic through the process. His positive attitude made all the difference! The bottom line is that throughout the entire process of finding/buying a home, Shawn thoroughly earned our trust. He worked hard and always fulfilled his commitments/promises completely. We knew we could depend upon Shawn. Given the potential uncertainty involved with buying a home, especially semi-remotely, we knew that with Shawn’s help we could reach clarity at various decision points in the process. Such confidence in Shawn proved essential when making important decisions, especially given all the ambiguities with finding the right home at the right price. We also learned that we could trust the various experts he referred us to at key points, as we knew he wouldn’t refer us to anyone that he did not himself trust. We are greatly appreciative of all of Shawn’s truly effective help during our home purchase. Without his help, we have no doubt that our home search/purchase would have been a much more difficult, stressful endeavor. Thanks!

I am very fortunate to have made Shawn Taranto’s acquaintance during my Idaho property search. Being from out of state, I had a lengthy list of properties throughout the panhandle that I was hoping to check out within a limited time frame. I provided Shawn with my list two days prior to arriving and Shawn promptly turned around a schedule over 3 days that included a tour of each house with supporting MLS details. Shawn is a low pressure, down to earth, and thoughtful host and quite gracious with his time. Shawn (seemingly) dropped any plans he may have had to spend 3 days taking me around the panhandle to tour a range of properties. As you might expect with Shawn’s professionalism and industry experience, he has a rolodex full of quality resources that he can call on for support on short notice. Shawn brought tremendous value to my real estate experience, I can’t recommend Shawn highly enough!

Shawn has been a God send for us! The process of finding just the right house has taken years and Shawn has been with us every step of the way. He really listened and communicated well and was always keeping us in the loop on new listings. When we finally found the perfect house there were unforeseen hurdles to jump and he really went the extra mile to help us through the whole process and to finally cross the finish line. We have worked with MANY agents through the years and Shawn is definitely in the top 1%. I highly recommend him!

What an absolute perfectly orchestrated and incredible blessing to meet Shawn and his family (The TarantoGroup). On a whim, my wife and I attended an open house they were showing, met Shawn and later his dad, ate some wonderful, homemade brownies from his mom, got pre-approved on site, and completed our offer in our truck in the driveway! Shawn prayed with and for us... Such a treasure! We did not get that home, but Shawn has been incredibly available, personal yet still professional, and hard working as we continued to search for and purchase our bare land. This purchase process was down to the wire and Shawn really dug in and helped to shepherd us through this stressful time and guide our deal across the finish line! Humble and so kind. Fun, funny, and professional but never pushy. Friends! You will be WELL cared-for and can feel relaxed when you have OUR Realtors at the TarantoGroup Realty working with you.

Very communicative and ready to look further into any questions they were not able to immediately answer for us relative to buying and later selling our property. Happy to oblige in helping us with items such as scheduling trade professionals, referrals, paperwork, etc. Offered to mail us sentimental items left behind, dispose of or re-home larger items needed to be left behind, performed minor repairs and cleaning in our absence during showing periods and after inspection. Did as much as possible to keep the property secure and everything tidy when we had already moved out of state and were absent for portions of the home selling process. Very good experience overall and take pride in going the extra mile to gain and maintain their clients’ trust.

Shawn is a very good listener and was very patient, learning what our needs were and explained everything that we needed to know throughout the whole process of buying our property.. He is great at follow up and basically " Johnny on the spot" returning emails and txt questions that we had along the way. Shawn engaged with the other realtor involved and loan officer in a very friendly, respectful and professional manner.
We have referred him to several other people and will continue to do so. We are extremely pleased with our land buying experience.

Shawn and his parents work together as the Taranto group and they all have their own individual expertise that adds to their ability to be the PowerHouse Realty team. They were able to sell our house during the high interest rate season when nobody was selling so we're very thankful and we're very appreciative for their excellent work

Finding a home to purchase from a long distance can be very difficult. But Shawn made it easy! He was willing to use his phone and FaceTime to show me a house in detail - he’s very thorough and conscientious. Because of his help, I was able to purchase the home that I needed and he handled all the details efficiently! I recommend him highly!

We just bought a house and Shawn Taranto was our realtor. It took my husband and I four months to finally find the house that would work for our family. Shawn was right there the entire time. Every house we wanted to see no matter when it was Shawn showed up. We never had to wait for anything! We really appreciated his honesty, care, and concern for our needs! If you want an agent you can trust and always be there for you Shawn Taranto is the agent for you! Nicole

Anyone who has bought or sold real estate in the past year probably knows how nerve-racking of an experience it can currently be. Shawn was so helpful and attentive during our process of both buying and selling, he really treats his clients like family and respects your decision-making process. We really appreciate all the work he put in for us over the past couple of months and we wouldn't go anywhere else for any future endeavors.
