A Kansas native with a heart for Idaho, Callie Bates has proudly called the Treasure Valley home for more than two decades. While she’ll always be a Jayhawk at heart (especially when KU basketball is on!), she’s fallen in love with the beauty, adventure, and sense of community that make Idaho such a wonderful place to call home.
On any given weekend, you’ll likely find Callie and her daughter making the most of everything the Treasure Valley has to offer. Whether they’re exploring a new hiking trail, setting off on a spontaneous road trip, discovering a favorite local restaurant, or cheering from the sidelines at her daughter’s cheer events, they love finding new ways to make memories together.
For Callie, home is so much more than four walls and a roof. It’s the heart of family life – the place where stories are shared, adventures are planned, and life’s most meaningful moments unfold. That personal connection to home inspires her passion for real estate and her genuine appreciation for the people and families behind every transaction.
As a Licensed Real Estate Assistant overseeing Transaction Management and serving as Director of WOW Client Experience at J. Kent Erickson Real Estate, Callie brings that same heart for people into everything she does. With an eye for detail, a commitment to thoughtful communication, and a passion for making good things happen for others, she helps guide each transaction from closing while ensuring clients feel informed, supported, and genuinely cared for along the way. Whether she’s helping coordinate the many moving pieces of a real estate transaction or finding that extra little something to make a client’s day, her goal remains the same: to help make the journey home as memorable and meaningful as the destination.
From charming neighborhood cafés and beautiful parks to scenic foothill trails and welcoming communities, Callie believes there’s something special to discover around every corner of the Treasure Valley.
