Eric Giovannucci, principal of Renew Real Estate Group.
Principal · Renew GroupEric Giovannucci

An investor’s judgment. Experience from acquisition through redevelopment.

Eric Giovannucci is a real estate investor, licensed Idaho agent, and principal of Renew Group. He began investing in 2013, progressing from wholesaling and VA-financed house hacking to live-in flips, redevelopment, and full-time real estate in 2021. That experience informs how he evaluates a property's potential, its risks, and the work required to create value.

His work spans flips, multifamily properties, investor representation, land development, best-use analysis, private capital, new construction, and historic-district redevelopment. He brings an operator's perspective to acquisition, financing, diligence, and execution, connecting the investment plan to the realities of the property.

Before real estate, Eric served for 13 years as an Army officer, paratrooper, and infantryman, including service during the Global War on Terror. His approach to leadership and decisions under pressure continues to shape the way he works with clients and partners. He also writes Renew Atlas research, drawing on public evidence and his experience in the Treasure Valley market.

Rachael Jayne of Renew Real Estate Group.
Operations & Acquisitions · Real Estate AgentRachael Jayne

Experienced in property. Focused on people.

Rachael Jayne is a Boise-based real estate agent focused on operations and acquisitions. Licensed in Idaho since 2018, she has worked across the Treasure Valley and beyond, from Ada and Canyon counties to Buhl and Council. Her work connects agents, homeowners, and investors through clear communication and dependable follow-through.

Her investing experience began in Nashville, where she owned and operated short-term rentals before continuing that work in Idaho. Property ownership gave her firsthand experience with the decisions and responsibilities that follow a purchase, a perspective she brings to clients and investment opportunities.

Before real estate, Rachael built a sports massage therapy business serving collegiate athletes, then moved into nursing with a specialty in critical care. Those roles taught her to manage complicated, fast-moving situations while keeping the person in front of her at the center of the work.

More than a decade in real estate. Experience across the investment cycle.

David Ballew is a real estate investor and licensed agent with more than 10 years of experience in the Treasure Valley.

Treasure Valley, Idaho

Why Renew

The team investor representation needed.

Eric founded Renew because investor representation in the Treasure Valley was being done badly. Mass-blast wholesaler lists. Agent networks that were really just email lists. Teams that treated investor clients as an afterthought.

He built Renew around three commitments. One, every deal is matched to an investor whose criteria actually fits, not broadcast to a mass list. Two, sellers get the same professionalism on a private-sale path as they would on an MLS listing — private sale is not a discount product, it is a different tool. Three, licensed-agent representation, start to finish, on every transaction.

Eric spent 13 years in the Army before this. That standard carries into every transaction the team takes, not because it is a brand asset, but because it is how Renew shows up.
