At Amherst Madison, we take pride in being deeply rooted in Idaho. We were founded in Boise, we’re independently owned, and we know every nuance of the Treasure Valley housing market. But our reach doesn’t stop at the state line. In fact, it spans the globe.
Through our exclusive affiliation with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, Amherst Madison gives you direct access to a global network of elite real estate professionals—over 550 firms across more than 70 countries and six continents. Whether you’re relocating to Europe, selling a luxury estate to an international buyer, or purchasing a second home overseas, we’re your gateway to a truly connected world.
Our clients benefit from world-class introductions, curated partnerships, and the assurance that no matter where you go, the experience will be as seamless as if you were buying or selling here in Idaho.
World-class service. World-class introductions.
When you need guidance in another city, state, or country, we don’t send you to a corporate call center or generic contact form. Instead, we make a personal introduction to a trusted colleague—someone who has been vetted, trained, and proven. These introductions are made with care, attention to detail, and a genuine desire to ensure you’re working with a professional who mirrors our own standards of excellence.
In 2022 alone, our network facilitated introductions in over 100 countries. On average, a referral is placed every 10 minutes, totaling more than 24,000 affiliate-to-affiliate introductions every year. These aren’t cold leads—they’re warm, intentional connections between some of the most respected agents on the planet.
How We Hand-Select Global Partners for You
Our process is intentionally personal. When a client needs representation outside of Idaho, we take time to understand your specific needs—whether that’s a city condo in Paris, a beachfront retreat in Costa Rica, or a relocation to a new state for work.
We don’t simply hand you a name. We connect you with the right agent based on your price point, goals, timing, and lifestyle preferences. We speak directly with our counterparts, assess their specialties, and ensure the match is a strong one before you even make contact. And we stay in the loop, following up with you and the agent throughout the process to make sure your experience is aligned with the Amherst Madison standard.
This curated approach gives you a significant advantage over working with random agencies or international directories. It ensures you feel seen, supported, and connected, wherever life takes you.
Real Stories: What Global Reach Looks Like in Action
Consider the Boise couple who received a sudden job opportunity in Geneva. Within 24 hours of notifying their Amherst Madison agent, they were connected with a luxury property expert in Switzerland who helped them secure their new home before their first day of work.
Or take the example of an estate owner in Eagle, Idaho, who listed their multimillion-dollar property with us. Thanks to our international marketing through the Luxury Portfolio International® platform, the listing reached over 60 countries and ultimately drew serious interest from a Canadian buyer—leading to a successful cross-border sale.
These aren’t exceptions—they’re a testament to the everyday power of global connectivity.
Behind the Network: What Makes LeadingRE So Elite
Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® isn’t just the biggest global network of independent brokerages—it’s the most respected. Affiliates are invited based on market leadership, service excellence, local influence, and integrity. This is not a pay-to-play group. It’s a performance-based network, where quality and trust matter more than franchise logos or flashy marketing.
As a member of this network, Amherst Madison gains access to proprietary marketing tools, international listing portals, training, relocation resources, and referrals from elite agents worldwide. Our affiliation also includes membership in Luxury Portfolio International®, the luxury division of LeadingRE that connects high-end listings with affluent buyers around the world.
LeadingRE’s global members handled more than $296 billion in U.S. home sales volume—more than any national franchise or real estate brand. When you work with Amherst Madison, you tap into that power.
Helping You Navigate the Complexities of International Real Estate
International real estate is full of variables: unfamiliar legal systems, different taxation rules, multiple currencies, foreign financing limitations, and cultural buying behaviors. For the average buyer or seller, this can be overwhelming—but you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Amherst Madison, alongside our global affiliates, simplifies the process by:
- Connecting you with international agents who know local legal frameworks, permitting, and documentation processes
- Offering advice on currency exchange, foreign financing, and banking logistics
- Working with attorneys, title companies, and financial professionals in your destination country
- Helping you understand cultural norms, residency implications, and property management options for non-resident owners
The result is a streamlined and informed experience—so you can buy or sell internationally with confidence and clarity.
Expanding Your Investment Opportunities
More clients are looking beyond their backyard for real estate opportunities. Whether you’re interested in diversifying your portfolio, acquiring a vacation rental, or purchasing an income-producing property overseas, our global reach helps you invest wisely in the international market.
Through our connections, we can offer access to:
- Pre-construction opportunities in international hotspots
- Vacation rental investment properties in popular tourism destinations
- Long-term income properties in markets with favorable rental yields

Why Global Matters, Even in a Local Sale
You don’t have to be buying abroad for our global connections to benefit you. Today, buyers looking in Idaho come from all over the U.S.—and often, from around the world.
Through our network, your listing can be:
- Marketed to affluent international buyers seeking relocation or investment
- Shared on top global listing portals through Luxury Portfolio International®
- Featured in international publications and newsletters targeted at high-net-worth individuals
- Referred to brokers in cities with strong migration patterns to Idaho (such as Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York)
As Idaho continues to gain national and international attention for its quality of life, strong economy, and outdoor lifestyle, our global connectivity ensures that your listing receives maximum exposure to qualified buyers—no matter where they live now.
