C l i e n t r e v i e ws “Isaiah represented buyer clients on one of my listings that closed recently. I’ve been in the business about 20 years and closed nearly 600 sales, and Isaiah clearly stands out as one of the finest, most professional agents I’ve ever worked with. He’s exceptionally responsive, creative and more knowledgeable than the vast majority of agents I’ve encountered in this oftentimes insane business. You can’t go wrong with this guy!”

– Dale “Isaiah is the best! He knows his stuff and really went above and beyond to get us our new house, even while being contingent on the sale of our previous home. The market right now is insane, so it was important to have someone like him (passionate, persistent, patient, and knowledgeable) helping us every step of the way.

He always kept us in the loop, quickly solved any problems that arose, and made the process fun.

We couldn’t recommend him more!”

– Kristen “If you are considering buying or selling a home, Isaiah Votaw is the excellent choice to represent you! As a mortgage lender, I have had the pleasure of working with many of San Diego‘s best Realtors, and Isaiah is definitely in that top tier! I prefer to work only with Realtors who really care first about their clients, and who put their client’s needs above all else. Isaiah is one of

these agents. It would be a disservice to yourself to not have his number saved in your phone.”

– Matt “Isaiah is a wonderful and compassionate person. He helped us buy our first home in August of 2020. I’m in my 20’s and had absolutely zero knowledge of the escrow process. When I expressed my interests in purchasing a new home, he updated me on the market every week. He was very thorough, patient, and helped us understand each step of the home buying process throughout our journey. He answered all of our questions, connected us to appropriate resources, and provided valuable insight to help us get our offer accepted. We will work with him again for future business.”

– Sook “Isaiah is great to work with! He’s very accommodating and went above and beyond in helping us purchase our forever home. He replies to your questions in a very generous, timely manner and makes you feel like you’re his only clients. He’s also very knowledgeable and patient. It has been a pleasure to work with him and I would absolutely recommend him to anybody who needs a Realtor. We’ll definitely recommend him to all our family and friends.”

for New York magazine, in the foreword to a

recently released book, “Designing Paradise: Juan Montoya.”

Countless people from coast to coast

heeded these words as they searched

for homes of escape during much of the pandemic. Vacation home sales rose by

16.4% in 2020, according to NAR’s 2021 “Vacation Home Counties Report” —

and they’re still surging this year. During the January–April 2021 period, sales

of vacation homes jumped by 57.2%

He is best known for creating “magical interior worlds for his clients” that are

grounded in history, art and a respect for local artisanal talent, according to

Goodman. This particular skill served

him well when it came time to interpret his signature refinement and simplicity for his clients’ vacation homes in

In another Dominican

Montoya is no stranger to the idea of

escapist fantasy. As a child, his family split time between Bogotá and a rice farm in a remote town called Puerto

Tejada, where he first understood the importance of how design relates to

its physical location and geographical climate. Today, the prolific design

icon himself divides his time between an apartment in New York City and a

sprawling 100-acre country estate in the Hudson River Valley, which he named

La Formentera after one of the Balearic Islands off the coast of Spain.

“Greenery is very important for your
