"Jamie was an amazing realtor to partner with. We worked over the course of almost a year to find my perfect first home. She was patient, thoughtful and knowledgeable. As a woman homeowner, she helped me to feel comfortable with the process and understand how to navigate this tricky market. I highly recommend her services!"

Tara Daly

Buyer, NE Portland

 

"Jamie is exactly what you'd hope for in a real estate professional, and more. In fact, we ended up buying two houses with her, we liked working with her so much.

She really took the time to understand what we wanted in buying a house, including diplomatically navigating where my partner and I may have wanted different or even contradictory things. Her knowledge of Portland and surrounding area is second to none. In the negotiation phases, she approaches options pragmatically and with curiosity. She seeks counsel from peers and clients to ensure she makes the best recommendations possible, but then presents a direct, honest, and confident offer or repair addendum. She was responsive to the point that we felt like friends who had known each other for years.

I think what speaks to Jamie's integrity and skill the most are the houses she talked us out of buying. We would send her a house, and she was always supportive in looking, if wanted, but very diplomatically posed questions about what we had stated as things we wanted, or her understanding of us as house buyers, and how the suggestions we sent might pose challenges to that. What real estate agent will caution you against a house, knowing that you won't be happy with it in the long term? But when we found the right houses, she was a fierce advocate. We landed both of the homes, the first homes we put offers in on."

"Great agent! Always there when you call; always there when you need. I highly recommend JAMIE as a real estate agent. Deep knowledge of the neighborhoods and surrounding areas and can really help with advising a client over real estate needs."

Clark Solomon

Seller, SE Portland

 

"We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing, patient, and knowledgeable agent. We are first time buyers and Jamie was a fierce advocate for us throughout the entire search and offer process. In a historically competitive market, I have no idea what we would have done without Jamie’s help and thorough understanding of the Portland market. We will be working with Jamie for every future real estate transaction and will be telling everyone we know to do the same!"

Gracie Gregory

Buyer, N Portland

 

"Jamie is the perfect realtor. In times where we were feeling exhausted by the hunt in a very competitive market, Jamie was the sound voice and expert opinion that we needed to keep us going. I am happy to say she has found us the perfect home and we are so grateful for everything she has done for us!"

Randall Lahrman

Buyer, SE Portland

 

"From start to finish, Jamie was on top of everything! She demonstrated great communication, throughout. She was almost always available, and if not, her response time was more than reasonable. She, not only, was knowledgeable, but also personable. My partner and I were first time homebuyers, jumping into a very competitive market, but Jamie facilitated it all seamlessly. Through conversation, it became clear she is up for any challenge and genuinely enjoys working with all types of clients. We especially appreciated how she translated this daunting process into terms we could easily understand. Also, certain personal touches made us both feel valued and appreciated, professionally and personally. If you decide to go with Jamie as your agent, you will not be disappointed, as I am certain she will exceed expectations."

Mark Anthony Bauser

"My wife and I worked with Jamie during the process of buying our first home.  We had so many questions and concerns from the jump and she was always there and able to help.  Jamie's professionalism, time commitment, and energy from beginning to end were constantly helpful and impressive.  I would highly recommend working with Jamie to any first-timers buyer.  I also believe she would be a great fit for anyone who has had a less than ideal experience in the past.  Her dedication and tireless commitment to making sure we had a seamless experience and got exactly what we needed in a timely matter was amazing."

D. Scott Killen

Buyer, SE Portland

 

"Working with Jamie on selling our family's starter home was an absolute dream.  She and her team's thoroughness throughout the entire process were more than we ever expected.

Jamie did a great job walking us through the steps we needed to take to get our home ready for the market.  The vendors she found all did an excellent job in a timely manner and were very affordable.  Not once did we feel like a suggestion was made by Jamie that wasn’t necessary to sell our home.

The marketing package Jamie and her team put together to sell our home was first class

the entire way.  After seeing the way our home was staged, along with the photos and videos they took it almost made us not want to sell it!

I would highly recommend using Jamie Van Hoorn as your realtor."

Zach Welch

Seller, SE Portland

 

"Jamie and her team are absolutely amazing!  I highly recommend her for your next purchase or sale.  Jamie works harder than any broker I've ever met before.  She is super responsive and on top of things.  I never had to worry about our sale because I knew Jamie had it handled from start to finish.

Jamie helped us sell an older home that we had used as a rental for many years.  The house was worn down and was not much to look at.  When we walked through it with Jamie, she helped us decide what repairs to make to help us maximize our value.  She also found us a great contractor who was on-site within days fixing up the house.  She went by numerous times to check on the status of the work, coordinated pictures and staging, and put together some amazing online materials.  We ended up with multiple offers well over the asking price.

I am so grateful to Jamie and her team.  It was such an easy and carefree process, and we couldn't be happier with the results.  Thanks, Jamie!"

"I highly recommend Jamie as a real estate broker in the Portland area.  During the sale of our house, Jamie was professional; she responded quickly and worked hard to address our needs.  Born and raised in Portland, she has an in-depth understanding of the market and provided excellent advice on how to best market our house, with fantastic results."

"Jamie is the absolute BEST! She is professional and knowledgeable, coupled with true kindness and a zest for what she does. Jamie worked on her vacation AND her birthday to ensure my home search went off without a hitch, and to answer my random questions here and there.  She gathered and coordinated appraisals and quotes, and really just helped me navigate the daunting and overwhelming home buying process.  I loved working with Jamie, and I absolutely know that she would do everything in her power to make sure that every client's home search went perfectly. Thank you, Jamie!!"

"Jamie was incredibly helpful during my home buying experience. She was very knowledgeable about neighborhoods, schools, safety, etc. She has even been helpful after the process of helping find different contractors to help with small home improvements. I highly recommend her."

Megan Nugent

Buyer, N. Portland

 

"Jamie was great and really committed to helping us find the home that fit our needs as first home buyers. We would strongly recommend her to others in the Portland area."

Jeffrey Mettlewsky

Buyer, SE Portland

 

"Susie and Jamie have been great to work with. The purchase of our new home went very smoothly even during a pandemic! They're quick to respond to questions and have been a great resource.

The listing of our old house is very impressive and I'm sure it will be sold quickly!"

Grant Engler

Buyer/Seller, SW Portland/ Beaverton

 

"Susie and her crew helped us get the most amazing house in Mount Tabor! The competition for this home was intense. I was told that if anyone can make this happen it would be Susie. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. I have met a few people who work as hard as this team. If she has not been 100% on top of things for several weeks this would not have manifested. I would only trust Moran Homes for the most important purchase of your life. I kinda feel like I won the lottery ... every day."

Clare Katner

Seller/ Buyer, SE Portland

 

"We have worked with Susie on the buying and selling of two homes in the Portland area.  She and her team are an absolute pleasure to work with.  In the last transaction, we had already left the area.  The team handled everything we needed to market, repair, and close the sale of the home.  They really stepped up and took away the pain of a long-distance transaction.  If you are looking to list or buy a home in the Portland Metro area, look no further than Moran Homes."

Jay B.

Seller, SE Portland

 

"Thank you, Susie and Team!! My husband and I were first time home buyers and had no idea what to expect. In addition to that, we are both from Germany and are not very familiar with the US systems. Therefore we were looking for someone we could trust 100%. Susie and her team did an amazing job of taking the time to explain everything in detail and were always there when we needed them. Even after the home purchase was done, they checked in with us on a regular basis to make sure everything was going smoothly. I would recommend Susie to all of my friends and definitely had an amazing experience working with her."
