Real Estate Agent & VP of Operations I PartnerMy name is Shelby Matson, and I am your personal guide to real estate across the Boise–Treasure Valley and beyond. It is truly an honor to work alongside my clients as we move toward a shared goal—the successful purchase and/or sale of your property. I proudly serve residential and commercial clients who are looking to buy, sell, or invest with confidence.
As one of my clients, you can expect personalized, one-on-one attention every step of the way. You will hear from me consistently throughout the process and well beyond the closing table. I am deeply committed to making your real estate goals a reality by delivering a customized, elevated experience that reflects your unique needs.
Honesty and transparency are non-negotiable in my business. When you ask for my professional opinion, you will always receive a truthful, data-supported response. Trust is the foundation of every successful transaction, and I work diligently to earn and protect that trust from day one.
I am honored to have been named Idaho’s Best Real Estate Agent 2024, featured in Boise Real Producers Magazine, and nominated as a Top Producer in the Treasure Valley. Through my work in television and media—including past hosting on Selling Boise with the Emmy-nominated American Dream Network (ADTV), appearances on Preview of Homes on ABC Channel 6 (KIVI), and features on Idaho Today on KTVB—I have built deep, meaningful connections throughout the community. These experiences have shaped me into a trusted local storyteller, giving me a unique perspective on the people, neighborhoods, and businesses that make the Treasure Valley such a special place to call home.
Prior to real estate, I spent 23 years with Kaiser, spending the final portion of my career in the Radiology Department. During that time, I developed strong communication skills, leadership, and a genuine dedication to helping others—qualities I bring to every real estate transaction to guide my clients with care, clarity, and confidence.
I have been married to my amazing husband, Marshall, for almost 22 years, and we are blessed with three children and two dogs. Having personally relocated from out of state, I deeply understand the emotional and logistical sides of moving. Whether you are relocating across town or across the country, I know what it takes to make your transition smooth and successful.
When I’m not serving my clients, you’ll often find me spending time with my husband and our two labs, or paddleboarding on one of Idaho’s beautiful lakes.
I genuinely look forward to learning more about you and how I can best serve your real estate goals.

What Our Client Say About Us
Our agent Robyn Baumgardt was terrific! She listened to what we were interested in. She worked hard to find properties to show us. In several instances we felt like she had gone above and beyond our expectations as we completed the process and were preparing to move into our purchased property. We appreciated all of her support and attention to detail.
Taylor is a gem! She is extremely savvy, and with her expertise, and negotiating skills we were able to buy a 4 bedroom house with $1,000 down. She knows the best inspectors, and lending team, and without her we would have never been able to afford our first home. I will recommend Taylor for everything, seriously I can't praise her enough.
Keyla is my far away Realtor, and even though she’s moved to Idaho, she has still been such a big help while I sell my house here in Florida. I already have an agent who is a long time friend, but I feel comfortable reaching out to her with questions about the process.
I’ve had a hospitality experience with Renee Davis. Worked around the clock with my complicated work schedule. Although my credit stopped me from finalizing anything. She didn’t show me the door for me and my family. She went above and beyond to point us in the right direction. So amazing that people like her are still in this world!!
I have been working with Renee for a while now, she is awesome! She is so great to stay in touch and send us homes like we are looking for when they come available. She is on top of all the things. She set up up with a lender and hoping someday soon we find our forever home. Thanks Renee for all you for for us.
Our experience with Taylor was more than fantastic! She was knowledgeable, quick to respond and always had an answer to our questions. She was able to negotiate the best deal for us and the home we wanted. We could not have asked for a better real estate agent. If you’re looking for the best, here she is!
Keyla went above and beyond when helping us sell our dad’s home. She not only guided us through the selling process but also stepped in personally to help with cleaning, mowing the lawn, painting, and more so we could get the house on the market quickly. Her dedication made the whole experience so much easier.
Madison Cordell is an incredible Realtor in Boise! She is extremely knowledgeable about the market, trustworthy, and always willing to go the extra mile. Her communication and professionalism make the process feel easy and stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated Realtor in the Treasure Valley.
Olga was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to make my home purchase process as stress-free as possible. She was always very informative and kept me updated. Olga carried the confidence to work hard and diligently with me to find my perfect first home. I would highly recommend her!
Our realtor, Madison Cordell, was amazing! As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to guide me through the process. From the very beginning, she was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive.
Even though Keyla is in another state, I still reach out to her with questions about buying a home. She's always quick to answer and helps break things down in a way that makes sense. She's even offered to interview the right agent for me when I get closer to buying a home, which shows how much she truly cares about making the process easier.
Rachel Maxwell at Idaho Life Real Estate is the best!! Incredibly knowledgeable about the Idaho real estate market. I’ve referred clients to her who were considering relocating from California, and she’s been amazing at helping them explore their options and feel confident about the move. Definitely would use her if I was making the move myself.
