As a seasoned real estate professional who has a heart for connecting with people, Brenda stands out as one of the core agents for The Lysi Bishop Team where she is consistently recognized as a top 10% producer in the Treasure Valley. A proud Idaho native, Brenda was raised in the resort town of McCall, attended the University of Idaho, and ventured to Boise, which she has called home for the past 30 years.
With a tenured sales career, Brenda’s journey led her through pharmaceutical sales, medical device sales, and banking sales. The decision to join the real estate world was fueled by a desire to help others find their place in the community that she is so passionate about.

She believes in the power of understanding each person's unique situation, ensuring her clients don’t just find a place to live, but a home that truly aligns with their needs, lifestyle, and goals. Brenda’s clients often become lifetime friends, with the majority of her business coming from referrals and repeat clients.
When Brenda isn’t finding homes for her clients, you can find her playing competitive tennis at the Boise Racquet and Swim Club, cheering on her son's football endeavors at the College of Idaho, and exploring the great outdoors with her dog. Her competitive spirit and knack for sales seamlessly blend with her genuine love for people, making every interaction meaningful.

"I wanted to highlight some of the reasons why Brenda was fantastic:
- Extremely responsive via phone/text/email from start to finish. We were never left wondering what was going on. She turned around an offer very quickly for us.
- Did not simply setup a filter and have auto emails going to us with listings. She would hand pick properties that fit our criteria and she listened to our feedback.
- She truly knew what we were looking for and never did I feel like she was trying to get a quick sale. She had our best interests as her priority. There were even times she steered us away from listings because she was confident it wasn’t our taste. This stood out to me in a low inventory market. Low pressure and determined to find what we wanted.
- Very knowledgeable of the area and was always sharing helpful information
- Great list of resources for inspections (and she arranged every inspection, attended the inspection and reported back to us)
- She is warm, kind, straightforward and realistic
You rock Brenda - would use you again in a heartbeat."
"Brenda at Lysi Bishop Real Estate is amazing, and the whole staff is great! Immediately after speaking with her, I knew I wanted to work with her. We were buying a home in a state we weren't living in, but Brenda was up for our challenge. She was patient and adamant about meeting our needs, and we trusted that she truly understood what we were looking for. We really felt confident with her taking charge on our purchase, despite us not being present. Our experience with Brenda could not have been better, and we will be looking to her in the future for our real estate needs."
"We worked closely with Brenda Mathis. They made the whole experience seamless start to finish despite the fact that we were in another state. They kept very close communication all times (day, night, and weekend) and extremely responsive to our inquiries and requests. Now we are very excited about moving into our new home in Boise!!"
"Brenda Mathis went far and beyond for us during this purchase. Being out of state has its drawbacks, but Brenda and her crew handled all very well. We could not have had better care! We would be happy to recommend your office."
"Casey and team has gone beyond our expectations! Casey was excellent at sending us properties that fit our needs as well as those that might fit our needs with some minor changes.. Casey's communication has been flawless. Casey provided us with everything we need to get moved into the area... This is a tough market and we were able to find a home and get into contract. Casey is constantly able to provide alternatives and solutions to hurdles. She is exceptional. I have very much appreciated working with Casey."

What our clients have to say about Sarah:
“Sarah Kaisler Berg is the person you want in your corner when buying a new home. Sarah is relentless, persistent, competent, capable, knows what to ask and what to look for. She is who you want on your side.” – Anthony & Avery
“Sarah knew exactly what we wanted, even before we knew. She found the right neighborhood, the right lot and the right builder for us. She was there every step of the way, advocating for our rights, our needs and wants.” – John & Judy
“Last year I worked briefly with Sarah and decided to work with another realtor, who was also my landlord, for practical reasons. In hindsight, that was a big mistake. Sarah accepted me back as a client and I’m so grateful; there is no comparison to my buying experience now. She produced magic: my offer was accepted by the seller over two all-cash offers (mine was financed)!” - Bri
“I could not have purchased the home I wanted without the skill, deep experience and professionalism of Sarah Kaisler Berg. She found the right home for me early in our search, but I had to wait for my previous home to sell before making an offer. Sarah stayed in touch with the sellers agent for over four months. When I was finally able to put an offer on the home, Sarah had established her credibility with the seller and presented my offer with facts, research and grace... Sarah is a buyer’s agent who is in it for the long game. She cared as much about finding me the right home as I did. She builds excellent relationships with the best in the industry... she could call upon a network of professionals at a moment’s notice. I would not have my home were it not for Sarah’s expertise.” - Susan
“Sarah served as our buyer’s agent during the purchase of our residence in Boise, while we were out of state... Sarah’s prompt understanding of our needs and desires greatly focused and improved the quality of our search from afar. Sarah was our source for contractor references for work required after closing and she continues to provide helpful support and references in the two years since our purchase.” – Paul & Suzanne
