Dear Merri, In November of 2009, my wife and I wanted to sell our house in town and achieve our dream of 30 years: to live on acreage in a peaceful rural setting.

I doubted very much that this was possible considering the current economy. Merri Joy Moylan approached us and affirmed that it was indeed possible to sell our house...it would just take a little work to make it appealing. She brought to bear not only her own knowledge and hard work, but the expert advice of several experienced realtors. The net result of this advice and encouragement was that our family was motivated and enabled us to concentrate on those areas of home improvement that were needed for loan approval and buyer appeal. After putting the house on the market in late February, 2010, we received an offer in April, and closed in late May. Around last Christmas, our family members had all made their predictions of when the house would sell. Predictions ranged from June of 2010 to August of 2011. But the house closed earlier than any of our predictions! I can truthfully say that Merri was exceedingly hard-working, and very courteous in dealing with us at all times. The guidance she gave us in exactly what had to be done with our house proved to be essential. And, she bent over backwards to help us find our ideal country property...which we have now. Even Merri's husband chipped in and helped us in many ways. I can confidently recommend Merri's services for anyone needing help in navigating the maze of real estate buying and selling. --Hendrik Mills

We are from out of state so finding a home which would be just right for us we thought would be daunting to say the least.

To our surprise this was not the case. After three unsuccessful attempts to purchase a home (through no fault of ours or the agent) we finally found the 'one'. Merri Joy, through her patience and skill masterfully guided the transaction painlessly. She went above and beyond when she met with the septic inspection company for the full 2.5 hours to witness the actual testing as we lived out of state. She would always communicate with us immediately. Her knowledge of the area steered us tactfully to the right neighborhoods. You won't find a more honest and trustworthy agent. - Virgil and Misty Blanton, 2016--

I am not a person who trusts just anyone.

Merri Joy was referred to us by a friend who said she fully trusted Merri Joy as her real estate agent when she purchased a home in Post Falls, ID. So, being from Missouri, the "Show Me" state, I thought "okay" I'll try using her as my agent. It was a long journey as we purchased a newly built home in Rathdrum, Idaho, which took about an eight-month process. There were multiple bumps along the way, but she navigated us through them successfully. Well, now "I fully trust Merri Joy as well. She is very knowledgeable, available, patient, moral, and kind. That's something to say from someone who was born and raised in, Missouri, the "Show ME " state. Over the years, I have had the occasion to use multiple real estate agents in several states, and Merri Joy is my favorite by far.

Having Merri Joy as my realtor gave me confidence to shop for a home with a realtor, something I was reluctant to do.

She showed me the houses I wanted to see and offered additional houses to the list to round out the selection. Mostly, she was very careful to listen to me with a view to really understand just what THIS buyer wanted and then pulled out all the stops to make that happen. Nothing was too much trouble for Merri. We climbed on top of dirt mounds and rocks to get a better perspective over fences, we went to open houses, semi-completed houses and discussed all the options. She was creative and looked hard to foresee what possibilities might exist wherever we went. Together we made multiple visits to homes where I ultimately placed bids until just the right house was obtained. She never lost hope that we would find the right home and kept sending me every listing to view which fell within the criteria I wanted. She went the extra mile to determine property pins and review the in-depth CC&R's (a challenge). Above all, she was so pleasant to work with, and she made herself available to help in every conceivable way. When obstacles came along, Merri Joy knew when to take a step back for perspective and when it was time to proceed. And now, I'm happily sitting and enjoying my new home!!! Thank you Merri Joy for being so sweet and professional!! Liz 2015

The service you provided us through the whole home buying process was nothing short of excellent.

After patiently showing us many properties, we came across one that was clearly a good fit for us – good location, large property, well built house. But the fun had just begun – this was a short sale! You navigated us through the process, which was peppered with all sorts of nuances, and heroically negotiated on our behalf. In the end, of course, we closed on this wonderful property, and are now settling in nicely. A good realtor can make all the difference in the world – something you, Merri Joy, through your professionalism, knowledge, dedication and integrity clearly demonstrated to us. D.S

When the need arose for a family member to transition to a new residence, my wife and I strongly recommended realtor, Merri Joy.

We had used her in the past and had been very pleased with her real estate services. Given a hot seller's market, our goal was to obtain a good price for the house being sold and for the process to be hassle-free and timely. What transpired did not disappoint. She assisted in establishing a reasonable selling price, initiated lots of marketing, kept us informed throughout the process, sorted offers, and vetted prospective buyer's qualifications. A great price was negotiated and a timely closing took place. While past performance is never a guarantee of future results, we're guessing you won't be disappointed should you choose to work with Merri Joy. Tom & San

We began working with Merri Joy Moylan late February 2013.

We had lived in the same house since we moved to Spokane 12 years before that. We were very lucky in this case – we didn’t know anyone in real estate. As we previewed properties on several free real estate apps we happened to call the listing agent on one - it was Merri Joy. My wife and I now consider Merri Joy a dear friend! We looked at homes on land from Stateline, ID all the way to Athol. We looked at properties on the weekends and some weeknights – Merri Joy was there ahead of us at every one. She demonstrated an exceptional knowledge of the local schools, area attractions and was just brilliant at helping us navigate key elements of offers and counter offers. Sometimes we brought our children along and Merri Joy was just great with them as well. It was clear that she really cared about us finding the right home for US, not just a home that we could settle for. She was very good at pointing out things we’d overlooked that would make a home wrong for us and our family. We learned from these experiences that as we talked and dreamed about what we ultimately wanted, she had really listened. When we found “the one” and had our offer accepted by the sellers she worked even harder! She was there with us and the seller when we located the corner pins so we would know what we were buying. She was there when the septic system was pumped and inspected. She was there when the well was tested. She was there when we brought in an architect to help with our remodeling dreams. Unexpectedly we learned that key elements on the home, built in 1990, had never had a final inspection and there was no Certificate of Occupancy from Kootenai County. She spent a week and a half meeting me at city and county offices in Coeur D’Alene, working on these elements to get inspections done so that we would have no trouble with our future remodeling plans. We have never had someone work so hard for us after the sale. In our new home hangs a framed copy of the Certificate of Occupancy which I asked Merri Joy to sign – I really don’t believe that anyone else could have made this happen. Though she wasn’t the listing agent on the house we sold in Spokane County Washington, she was instrumental in helping us stage it for photos and make it ready to sell. Every part of the transaction that she touched turned out in our favor. I once told Merri Joy that for me she is the definition of “tenacity in action.” I don’t know if I will ever be in the market for real estate again – we love our new place! If I ever am there is only one real estate professional that I will call. Buying real estate is one of life’s most challenging decisions. If it is in Northern Idaho you need Merri Joy Moylan to help you make it. Jim Oxley, Vice President of Sales Sterling International, Inc.

Dear Merri Joy, We just want to thank you for all the help and perseverance you provided us with when purchasing our home in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho this past June 2010.

You were with us every step of the way making sure things went smoothly even when we couldn't be, (ie: at all three inspections and the closing ). You even helped to arrange contractors to finish the basement while we were still in Florida. We could not have done it without you. Additionally we want to thank-you for all the personal touches and concern you expressed to make our move from Florida to Idaho a success. I still can't believe with 7 children of your own, how you managed to remember my daughter's 3rd birthday and make it special knowing we had just arrived days before and would not have been able to pull together a birthday party for her. You are a credit to your field. It is rare to find someone like you who, even after the contract is signed, is still there lending a hand, and not just on one occasion but several. Just know we are incredibly grateful to you and hope to someday return the favor. Please feel free to use this letter as a testimonial if you would like. Sincerely, Drs. Jeffery and Maureen Meech

Merri Joy is a great real estate professional to work with.

She helped us find a property in the Hayden, ID area, provided excellent assistance in negotiations with the seller, provided guidance on the contract and inspection report, and gave us timely information on the closing process. In addition, she provided names and contacts for some work that we plan to do on the house. Thank you much Merri Joy for all your help.

We left our "forever" home to relocate into Post Falls.

It was a difficult and emotional undertaking. We spent the first 6 months trying to replace what we were leaving behind. During this process we started to consider what we'll actually need looking forward. After another 6 months of looking with a new stratigy, we found the perfect house. Throughout this process Merri Joy was patient, understanding and always there to answer any question. She worked closely with the realtor selling our home and took every step possible the ease any burden and/or concerns off of us. She was everything we needed to make it through this challenging time in our lives. Without hesitation I would highly recommend Merri Joy everytime.

Ken and Susan Marsh

My family and I just recently relocated to the Post Falls, ID area after living abroad, looking to buy a home.

After inquiring, it was highly recommended that we use Mrs. Merri Joy Moylan's services at Kelly Right Realty, that she came highly recommended, and we are more than glad we did! Mrs. Moylan didn't rest until we found our dream home. She made our experience not only easy in finding a home, but also exciting! The family loves our new home and we are greatly appreciative and blessed for having Mrs. Moylan as our guide. The Chandler family would like to personally thank Mrs. Moylan from the bottom of our hearts for her hard work and dedication in helping us realize our dream. Thank you Mrs. Moylan!

"This is the best Real Estate agent you will ever find! She is Relentless!! My husband and I purchased a new construction home with a USDA zero money down loan in October. After navigating the many hurdles that both of those things throw at you ( New Construction & USDA) achieving homeownership felt like achieving the impossible. Throughout everything Merri Joy was a pillar of support, encouragement and valuable information. Her value as our agent particularly shone in her ability to keep the contract together in seemly impossible circumstances by getting everyone involved (loan officer, title officer, processor, listing agent, etc.) to keep communicating clearly with one another and working towards a common goal. Where others in this transaction let the ball drop, she was right behind picking up the pieces and keeping everything on track. I am convinced we would not be the happy homeowners we are today, if we hadn't decided to work with Merri Joy."

"We trusted Merri Joy with the toughest of tasks: finding our first home. She set us up with an automatic search engine for listings that found houses meeting our criteria. We were able to get in quickly for showings with enough time to place an offer on all the houses we wanted to. She arrived prompt and prepared to every showing carrying a folder of details on each house. When we gave her a listing that the search engine didn't find- sometimes on rather unconventional platforms, she didn't hesitate to do research on it and set up a showing. When most realtors would have likely given up and told us it wasn't possible, she went above and beyond in our situation to communicate and facilitate transferring of the sales agreement. Merri Joy's communication with the seller was second to none with getting additional house information and setting up showings. We've dealt with realtors in the past that are pushy and just trying to "get the sale." I was so happy to have Merri Joy, because she advocated for us and had our best interest at the forefront. I would always recommend Merri Joy to anyone looking to buy or sell. She helped us achieve this massive financial goal."

"Sarah-Marie Spindlerjust nowNEW-Write a reviewMerri Joy Moylan! You are an absolute gem and deserve 20 stars. In 2021 we were ready to buy our first home near Post Falls but were quickly discouraged by the rising housing costs and seemingly impossible odds; that is, until we met the incomparable Merri Joy Moylan. Tireless, selfless, humble, attentive, hardworking, efficient, professional, a real go-getter, well-connected, family and community supportive; Merri Joy heard all our wants, needs, took them to heart and fought for everything we wanted and dreamed of in a home, yard, community and more. She respected and absolutely understood and worked within our budget and savings goals and worked quite literally around the clock to help us find what we now no longer call our "impossible dream". I'm getting so chocked up writing this review thinking back to the literal miracle this woman worked for us when she found us exactly what we wanted, needed and more :-) If you are reading this review and feel as we did believe in the possibilities this woman can offer you and do not hesitate to pick up the phone and call this amazing realtor NOW! Merri Joy will take care of you because to her, YOU. ARE. FAMILY."

"Merri Joy is an excellent real estate agent. She helped me and my husband with purchasing our new home in Rathdrum, ID. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, available, and moral, which are extremely important qualities I do not attribute lightly to anyone. Merri Joy helped us navigate through the who process and responded quickly to any of our concerns. Being a born and bred in Missourian (the "Show Me"), where trust doesn't come easily, she has earned my trust. I highly recommend her as a real estate agent; and I have used many agents over the years in several states."
