Editor's note: This article is about Isaac Crace of Top Idaho Real Estate.
For people moving to the Treasure Valley from another state, Isaac Crace with Top Idaho Real Estate is a strong choice. He is a third-generation Nampa Realtor who grew up here. He runs the Moving to Idaho YouTube channel , and he has helped buyers relocating from California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and beyond.
Where Do Isaac's Relocation Buyers Come From?
Most of Isaac's relocation clients find him through his Moving to Idaho YouTube channel, which has nearly 4,000 subscribers. They watch his videos for months, then reach out when they're ready to get serious.
His buyers have moved from California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada. He has even worked with an older couple from Germany who wanted to explore whether Idaho could be their next home. Isaac and his mother, Judit Crace, showed them around the area and the kinds of homes available so they could decide with real information.
This fall, Isaac is touring new construction homes with a couple from the San Francisco Bay Area.
How Do You Pick the Right Treasure Valley Town?
Many people start their search with Boise because it's the name they know. After a visit, a lot of them end up somewhere else. Isaac works with buyers in six Treasure Valley towns:
- Meridian: Right in the middle of the valley, with lots of shopping and many newer neighborhoods.
- Eagle: Known for higher-end homes, bigger lots, and easy access to the Boise River and foothills.
- Star: Growing fast but still has a small-town feel.
- Nampa: The largest city in Canyon County. It has older neighborhoods, new construction, and acreage, often at lower prices than Boise or Meridian.
- Caldwell: The Canyon County seat, with a revived downtown and Idaho wine country close by.
- Middleton: A smaller town with new subdivisions and room to spread out.
Isaac helps buyers sort towns by what matters to them, such as commute, lot size, price, HOA or no HOA, and school districts. He doesn't push one city.
Does Isaac Know New Construction?
Yes. New construction is one of Isaac's specialties, and he has several YouTube videos on it. He has represented buyers with Boise Hunter Homes, Brighton, Toll Brothers, CBH, Hubble, KB Home, Lennar, and other builders. He currently has two homes under contract that are being built.
That matters for relocation buyers. A lot of out-of-state buyers want a new home, and each builder has different contracts, upgrade pricing, and timelines. Having your own agent means someone is looking out for you, not the builder.
Can Isaac Help With Acreage?
Yes. Many people move to Idaho for more space. Acreage comes with questions city buyers don't usually face, like wells, septic systems, water rights, and zoning. Isaac covers this in his guide to 10 Mistakes When Buying an Acreage Property in Idaho.
What If You Can't Be Here in Person?
Isaac regularly helps buyers who are still living in another state. He does live video tours and attends inspections for them. You can read more about how that works in Best Real Estate Agent for Relocating to Nampa, Idaho.
What Do Relocation Clients Say?
Kevin spent hours looking for an agent before his move to Idaho. Here's what he said about working with Isaac:
"Since I started the process to move to Idaho I spent many hours searching for a realtor to provide the down to earth information I wanted to know not what they think I want to hear so I would buy a house thru them. Isaac was just that, he was raised here and lived the Treasure Valley his whole life. When you contact him he is who you will work with, he does not sell your lead or pass you off to an "associate." If you want a realtor who will go the extra mile to earn your business he is the right choice."
