My name is Melissa Biggs — REALTOR®, Owner, and CEO of The Biggs Group with LPT Realty. Nearly 12 years ago, a career opportunity at the Idaho National Laboratory brought our family to Idaho Falls. I know exactly what that move feels like, because I’ve lived it.
Before landing in East Idaho, our family’s career had taken us across three countries and three states. We lived abroad, rebuilt our routines from scratch more times than I can count, and learned how to turn a foreign address into a real home. By the time we made the move to Idaho Falls, I had become something of an accidental relocation expert — not by training, but by necessity.
What I didn’t expect was how much I’d fall in love with this place.
East Idaho surprised us. The people, the landscapes, the tight-knit communities, the proximity to some of the most spectacular outdoor recreation in the country — it won us over completely. We planted roots here, and this is home.
I help INL families do the same.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve made it my mission to help other INL employees and contractors navigate the move to East Idaho with as little stress as possible. I know the commute corridors. I know which neighborhoods are closest to the schools your kids will thrive in. I know what questions you’re going to ask before you even ask them — because I asked them all myself when we arrived.
Whether you’re relocating from across the country or from overseas, whether your start date is three months out or three weeks away, whether you have a family with four kids or you’re moving solo — I’ve got you. The Biggs Group has closed hundreds of transactions across Idaho Falls, Ammon, Rexburg, Rigby, Blackfoot, Swan Valley, Island Park, and the Teton Valley, and we bring big-team experience with one-on-one personal attention to every single client.
I took a leave of absence from my Financial Manager career to stay home with our children during our years abroad, but I never stopped putting those skills to work — first for my own family, and now for yours. When you work with me, you get a knowledgeable and fiercely committed Realtor®, a negotiator who treats your transaction like it’s her own, and someone who genuinely understands that a house is more than a building. It’s the foundation of your new life here.
If INL is bringing you to East Idaho, I’d love to be the first person you call.
