What Amherst Madison does

Amherst Madison is a privately held, full-service independent residential real estate brokerage headquartered in Boise, Idaho, with a secondary office in McCall. Founded in 2013 by Nick Schlekeway — a former Boise City Firefighter with a master's degree in real estate from Georgetown University — the firm operates as Amherst Madison Treasure Valley LLC and serves residential buyers, sellers, investors, and relocating clients across the Treasure Valley and Valley County markets. The firm reports over $6B in cumulative sales volume, more than 11,000 homes sold since inception, and over 1,000 million-dollar transactions in the luxury segment. It ranked #3 in Idaho for total sales in 2022 with over $1.27B in volume and 2,000+ closings, and posted the highest average MLS sales price in the state ($673,440 versus a $520,818 market average).

The company's service portfolio is organized into standard buying and selling representation, a premium Luxury Services sub-brand with global syndication through Leading Real Estate (LeadingRE) and Luxury Portfolio International, a relocation division, a new-construction arm covering 16 named Treasure Valley and Valley County developments (Aspen Lofts, Avimor, Boise Highlands, Dry Creek Ranch, Lakemoor, Legacy, and others), and an agent recruitment and team platform hosting multiple branded teams (Black Wolf Realty Group, Mike T. Williams Real Estate, Bauscher Real Estate, McFerrin Real Estate, Weston Real Estate, Abmont Realty Group, Middleton Group, Wilson Homes, Dilmore Team, Tiger Team). Its technology infrastructure is built on the Inside Real Estate platform, supporting property search, MLS listings, professional photography, 3D tours, and targeted online campaigns.

Revenue is generated through traditional real estate commissions on buyer and seller representation, with rates negotiated individually. Distribution is sales-led and direct, executed by individual agents and branded teams operating across two physical offices in Boise and McCall. The firm has no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or acquisition activity; it is independently owned and operated. Recognition includes five consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 list of America's Fastest Growing Private Companies (2018-2022), RealTrends Top 500 rankings (#342 in 2022 and #361 in 2023), Brokerage of the Year (2022), and the founder's 2025 Outstanding Alumni Award from Boise State University College of Business & Economics.
