Hi, I’m Kory Shields, an Idaho Raised Realtor!
I want to give you a brief oversight of what brought me to the real estate industry. In 2010 I started working in hotels as a housekeeper little did I know at the time that decision would impact my life as it did. Over the following years, I had many roles Front Desk, Housekeeping Supervisor, Maintenance, Front Desk Manager, General Manager, and in that order. This career path allowed me to purchase my first home at the age of 24. 5 years later I told myself hey you sell rooms for a living why don’t you try houses. I cherish this industry and the people I meet along the way. I hope I can assist you in making your dreams a reality.

As a U.S. Navy veteran turned real estate professional, I bring the same dedication, discipline, and service-first mindset to helping others find a home — especially those who serve or have served. I specialize in guiding military families, veterans, and first-time homebuyers through the real estate process with clarity, care, and expert support.

Based in the Treasure Valley and deeply familiar with its communities, I understand the local market and what it takes to navigate VA loans, PCS moves, and transitions into civilian life. Whether you’re buying your first home, relocating to Idaho, or selling after years of service, I’m here to make the process smooth, and stress-free.

With a strong network of trusted professionals, transparent communication, and a heart for helping others, I consider it an honor to support fellow service members and local veteran families through one of life’s biggest decisions.

Born raised in California, I escaped the Central Valley in the mid 1990s and spent 23 years exploring the planet calling CA, HI,  LA, OR, TX, and WA all home at one point and have worked abroad in Japan.  During my time in the PNW, I decided to call it home but after being denied retirement, I sold my place and returned to Japan for my final assignment, separated in 2017 and relocated to Louisiana where I dabbled with firefighting, logistics, aviation, school teacher, and then started a retail business and discovered that entrepreneurship is the most rewarding field ever.  After Louisiana didn’t work out, I moved to Texas but I just didn’t love the South and after several years of PNW-withdrawal, I returned to Oregon after accepting an amazing position as a EHS Consultant serving seven states in the northwest.  While in this position I became enamored with Idaho and its citizens and after about 2 years, by business partner and I made the best move of our lives:  becoming citizens of Idaho and assimilating Into an amazing group of people in a place where values are aligned.

Though not a native to Boise, my reach is vast. I maintain personal and professional connections in 38 of the United States and abroad.  This is one of the greatest benefits of working with the most diverse and inclusive workforce in the history of the world: the US Military.  I have a great ability to connect with all Americans, especially the US Veterans. Joining this amazing team led by Celeste combines a far reach across our great nation with the deep-roots of a life-ling Boise Native. I’m blessed to be part of a team with a leader with impeccable integrity and mastery of this profession.  After a very diverse professional career, I have found an amazing place to do what I love most: Build/strengthen relationships and help people solve difficult situations specializing with the US Veteran community. Together with my business-partner Amy who’s also on this team we conduct all transactions as co-agents assuring our clientele have the added benefit of a second buyer/seller representative assuring the best possible transition experience.

Having called Idaho home since elementary school, I have a deep-rooted understanding of the Treasure Valley and its opportunities. Recently graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Advanced Vehicle Systems and a minor in Business Management, I have the opportunity to combine technical expertise with a strong foundation in business principles

With lifelong ties to the valley and a keen insight into its real estate market, I am well-positioned to guide clients through their property journeys. Partnering with Team Blackburn at Silvercreek Realty, I am enthusiastic about leveraging local knowledge to help clients find their ideal homes and investment opportunities.

Alongside a dedicated career in real estate, I share this commitment to the region with a wife who is also a native of the Treasure Valley, underscoring a genuine passion for the community and its growth.
