Whitney Pappas

Whitney Pappas, Associate Broker and Realtor in Sandpoint, Idaho, with Elite Realty Partners by Real Broker. With 8 years of experience in North Idaho real estate, Whitney specializes in helping buyers and sellers navigate the Sandpoint housing market

I grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta, GA, and first experienced Sandpoint when I was 7 years old. My dad's friend had extended family that owned lakefront property on Lake Pend Oreille, and we began staying at their cabin for a week every summer and skiing at Schweitzer Mountain for a week every winter. Sandpoint was downright magical to me, and my trips to the area are still my favorite childhood memories.

I come from a musical background and originally set out for a career in opera, majoring in voice performance at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ. After meeting my husband through the local church, I decided I wanted a family life more than a music career. We got married in 2008 on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille. I got a job at a local engineering firm in New Jersey and worked my way up the corporate ladder for 13 years, eventually landing in senior management in HR. Along the way, my husband and I moved to Lexington, Kentucky for a couple of years and then decided to make the move to Sandpoint to be close to my parents, who had relocated while I was in college. I warned him that if he moved me there, he would never get me to leave. We now had two boys who were getting to school age, and after working from home for several years, I was ready to be more involved in the community. So in 2018, I decided to leave the corporate world to pursue a career in real estate.

Real Estate has been my dream career. I love people, and I love houses. I love helping people get to the next chapter in their lives. And I LOVE North Idaho. I truly believe we are blessed beyond measure to get to live here and call this beautiful place home. My background in the corporate world has given me an edge in my professionalism, strong communication skills, and attention to detail, and my dedication to continued education and consistently asking myself "what can I do better?" sets me apart from my peers. I began my real estate career at Century 21 RiverStone where I earned the 2020 Quality Service Award, the Homesnap Excellence in Client Services Award, and the 2020 and 2021 Masters Ruby Production Awards.

In 2022, I moved to eXp Elite Realty Partners and have since earned my Associate Broker license. I continue to pursue excellence in everything that I do.

One of the most important decisions you can make when buying or selling a home is choosing an agent that is knowledgeable of the local market, loves their job, and is someone that you can trust and feel comfortable with. I view my profession as an act of service to the people that I work with. My goal is to make buying or selling your home as pleasant and worry-free as possible. Working with me should feel like working with a close friend that puts your wants and needs above all else. If you are looking to begin your real estate journey in North Idaho, whether that be buying or selling, I'd be honored to work with you.
