What is Sukha Living

What is Sukha?

Sukha is the Sanskrit word for happiness, ease, or bliss.
Quite literally it is defined as “Good Space”.

This is what we desire to offer our clients.

Our goal is to create a good space to help each client identify what they want to achieve, working together to minimize the variables so the experience is one of ease, and even enjoyment.

Welcome to Sukha Living,

a boutique real estate company, where the focus is on customizing each experience for the greatest level of service.

We take great pleasure in guiding people through the real estate process with as much ease and enjoyment as possible. We bring a holistic approach, focusing on a full assessment of what’s happening for our client and what they want to accomplish; not just on the single action of closing a transaction. Alongside understanding our client’s concerns and stressors, it’s important to us to understand their aspirations and what brings them joy. There are so many elements in a real estate transaction and we want to empower people to make the best decisions for themselves.

Hello my name is Shana

I moved from Ohio to Boise, Idaho in 1995 where I finished High School and then went to Boise State to get a degree in Wildlife Biology. Through college I worked in restaurants, and went into management when I graduated.

At 25 I was in a position to buy my first home and after completing the process, thought “Well that was fun.” I am service oriented to my core, and real estate felt very similar to waiting tables, just filling bigger orders, as it’s truly all about customer service.

Right out the gate my mentor gave me a piece of advice I rely on to this day – “If you take care of people, they will take care of you.” That is what real estate is all about for me - doing my very best to take optimal care of my clients, to simplify this often confusing process, and to be a guide in helping people achieve their goals.

A real estate transaction is rarely just a financial one. It can be very emotional, overwhelming and often touches on some hot button topics – finances, relationships, communication, dreams, and the very primal need of shelter. Where I thrive is in my role of creating ease for my clients, as well as all those involved in the process.

I’ve never seen myself as a sales person. In fact, the first personality test I took when I got into real estate, said I was not fit for sales. It was disheartening at first, but then I realized it’s not sales, but customer service, that I’m fit for.

I now have 20 years of being a Realtor and 100% of my business is repeat clients, or referrals from friends and clients. I think my focus as a guide and my attention to value-added services is what gives people the confidence to refer me, and to work with me over and over again. I feel very fortunate to still love what I do and to be in a position to help navigate people through an ever-changing environment.

"Working with Shana was a dream and I can't recommend her more. We have bought and sold two homes with her over the last 7 years. She is very knowledgeable and happy to explain all the moving pieces which helped us to make big decisions with ease. She has a great understanding of the market and uses that information to help her clients buy and sell. She is very communicative. I always felt so comfortable working with her closely when looking at homes. I appreciated her kindness and care for us. We always felt like we mattered, even though we knew she has a lot of clients, we never felt like we were being put on the back burner. We have recommended her to countless friends and family and we highly recommend her to you!"

“Shana is AMAZING!!! She has been our realtor for about 9 years through several transactions, and she has always done a phenomenal job at everything. She answers all our questions about the buying/selling process, is knowledgeable about the market and trends, and knows how to stage a house! Also, she is so on top of everything, we never had any issues with steps or processes being forgotten. One of my favorite things, though, is she will absolutely not pressure you to buy something you don't totally love or cannot afford; she'll tell you exactly how it is whether that's good or bad; and that means you end up in a great situation no matter if you are buying or selling. I would highly recommend Shana - if you aren't working with her, you're on the losing end of the transaction.”

Rick T., S Boise (Buying and Selling)
“Would highly recommend. Shana was so helpful as my family sold our house last summer. We were confident that we wanted to move to a different state, but after living in our home for years we had so many many memories of raising our family there, it was an emotional process. Shana listened as we talked about memories and showed genuine interest in my family rather than just focusing on the business part of the process (a part that she was very knowledgeable about as well!). She has a warm, compassionate personality and was enjoyable to work with. Shana recognized that showing our home could be complicated with our young children and she guided us through how to make the process as easily as possible. This was our first time selling a home and she walked us through the whole process, so we would understand the steps we needed to do without feeling overwhelmed. As offers came in, she helped us navigate that process to know what steps to take and how to finalize the sale (and we were very pleased with the profit for the final sale.)”tem

“Working with Shana was like one stop shop with a peace of mind that the work will not only be completed but with the most possible satisfaction. She knew exactly how much time and effort needed by us as sellers as well as by her team. She was very meticulous in preparing the house, staging the house, communicating with the buyers, and providing valuable resources and guidance to us in making sound decisions. At any point , neither she rushed nor she delayed the process. She even went above and beyond to move her resources as quickly as possible to help in fixing things that were way beyond the scope of the project. That timely help saved us a large expense prior to staging the house. All in all, Shana was the best agent we were lucky to have.”

“Shana went above and beyond to ensure we received the best possible price for our house. Her knowledge and expertise in the housing market put our trepidations at ease. And while there were so many little things we had not considered, it was no issue because Shana had our back and walked us through each and every step. She was even in constant contact to check to see if we had any questions/concerns about the steps. Shana had an amazingly positive attitude, and her honesty was a breath of fresh air. Shana was also very personable with our two boys, which scored huge points with us. She talked to them, joked with them and even asked them questions about the house. I can whole-heartily say, Shana made a very stressful and sometimes tedious event, a smooth and calm transition. I would recommend Shana Moore to anyone looking for an agent.”

"We’ve moved many times and never had the amazing services and care Shana has provided. She was always there for us, so knowledgeable, efficient, and helpful when we started the moving process and that only kept getting better and better. She’s a total ball of energy and I recommend her to anyone contemplating a home or property sale."

“I worked with Shana as a buyer in 2019, and then as a seller on the same property in 2024. Her expertise was indispensable throughout the process. There are very few people whom I am comfortable "just trusting" but I did so with Shana, and the result was an extremely smooth sale. Well priced. Managed the negotiation process well. I am grateful that I was able to work with her.”

“Shana Moore is a fantastic realtor. She really knows Boise and the entire Treasure Valley area. She takes the time to get to know her clients so the buying and selling experience is efficient and low stress. When there is an issue after the offer has been signed, she makes sure it is addressed in the best interest of her client. When I sold a home with her, she handled the staging, yard work and all the inspection follow-up. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I recently bought a home with her help. The seller did not live up to their part of the agreement when it came time to close, and I was going to just move forward with the purchase. But she held up the deal to make sure the appropriate work was completed and I was properly compensated. She could have just rushed to closing to get the commission, but making sure I was happy was her first priority. She is smart, honest and down-to-earth. You cannot go wrong with her in your corner.”

“Shana is the best realtor out there. My husband and I have worked with other realtors and have never been treated so good. She helped us both buy and sell our home. She will go the extra mile to make sure that you feel understood. She is very aware of the market and I always felt like Shana was working so hard to get us what we wanted. She is an excellent communicator. I never once felt like this was just a job for her. She is very passionate about helping people. She knows that buying/selling a home is a huge life experience and she takes great care to make sure you are happy through the whole process.”
