I originally moved to Council in 1956. I have been licensed in real estate since 1977. For 10 years I practiced real estate in Boise, Idaho, owning and operating an office with five agents, before returning to Council.

I have lived in Council for 29 years. I previously owned and operated the Starlite Motel in Council for over 20 of those years.

I have four children who were all born and raised in Council and graduated from Council High School. The four eldest of my twelve grandchildren also graduated from Council High School and the others are currently attending school here.

One of my sons own and operate Council Valley Market, one of the two local grocery stores in town.  My oldest son has his own business, which is remodeling, but specializes in custom cabinets.   My daughter-in-law is a Registered Nurse and works at a Health Care Clinic in town.    She also owns a Fitness Center in town.

One of my daughters and her husband now own and operate the Starlite Motel.   My other daughter's  husband  is an Idaho State trooper.    She also works for the Idaho State Police. 

We are an ambitious family of entrepreneurs that continues to contribute to the improvement and growth of the Council area.

I have seen the gradual changes here. The continuing growth and interest in the area is quite noticeable. It is easy to understand why people have such a desire to live here. This area offers clear bright skies, majestic mountains, fresh air, clean water, and safe, secure living. It’s also a place filled with the friendliest, most helpful people in the world. We ARE what America WAS.

Wendy Schultz Sales Associate

My husband and I moved to Council in 1999 from a small town in Washington.  We have lived in small towns all of our married life.  We were drawn to Council because it has all the qualities we wanted, good neighbors and friends.  We love falling asleep listening to the coyotes howling and waking to the birds singing.  We raise Quarter horses and hay on our property in the Goodrich area. My husband recently retired after 30 years with the USFS as a wildlife biologist.  Our 3 sons have all graduated from Washington State University, with 2 of them Doctors of Veterinary Medicine. Now that my family is raised and my husband is home to run the ranch, I am starting my real estate career. I would like to help others discover the quality of life they can have in the Council area.  Let me help you find your place in the country.
