She is extremely knowledgeable and always has her clients best interest! I can’t recommend her enough!
- Nichole D..
Darcie and her team put us a ease from the start! Her knowledge of the local market was exemplary! The house sold at above asking price in less than a week! Everything about our engagement with Darcie and her team was above and beyond expectations! We have owned/sold 9 homes and this was by far our best experience!
- Barb T.
Darcie was there every step of the way for us. She acted as a buffer between the selling agent and us. When we had questions she was quick to answer or get the answer. She anticipated our questions/concerns and put my wife and me at ease throughout the process. We would definitely use Darcie again. In fact, she has represented other members of our Family and has come highly recommended by several friends. You won’t go wrong with Darcie.
- Jeffery L.
Darcie sold our home in a few days and then she went way above and beyond
expectations to manage a difficult and protracted buyer/lender closing situation.
We would highly recommend using Darcie for her professionalism and diligence in
managing our complete sale process
- D. C.
When we started looking to buy a home, we hardly thought it was possible. We
thought it would take more time and they were happy to give us some information.
Their team made getting a home not only possible but also with as little stress
buying a home could have. SO responsive and helped make sure we found a place
that fit our needs with our budget in this housing climate. So very thankful for their
support and knowledge.
- Lea L.
I purchased by first home though Darcie in 2018 and had a super easy experience.
Now, in 2021 I sold my first home, and purchased again. Throughout both the
selling and buying process Darcie was amazing. Her knowledge, attitude, and
personality are unmatched. Darcie was strategic in how she priced my house, and
also set up an open house. She also brought in a staging team that used the
furniture I already had in my home to make the home seem the most inviting it
could be! In the end we had over five amazing offers to choose from! When it came
to buying, she truly cared about me and what I wanted in my new home, but was
also realistic with what I should expect at my price point and the neighborhood I
wanted to be in. The first offer I put down got accepted all because of Darcie. She
was able to advise the offer I would have to make to be competitive, but also
advised what amount she wouldn't recommend going over unless I felt like I
absolutely had to have the house. She followed up with the listing agent multiple
times to ensure my offer was competitive with the others that the sellers were
considering. I recommend Darcie to anyone looking for a realtor!! I worked with Dar
a little during my buying process as well, and she is just as wonderful as Darcie!
They are a fantastic team and I am SO thankful I had them on my side during this
crazy hectic market!!
- J.L
Working with Darcie VanderZanden was a dream! I am a first time homebuyer, so I
was very nervous about the entire process. Darcie was knowledgeable, quick to
respond, and reassuring. The entire team was welcoming and very supportive! I
couldn’t be more impressed. The resources, tips and tricks, and negotiating skills
are unparalleled. I was glad to have someone on my side I can trust. Truly could not
have asked for a better experience!
- Alexa M.
They are friendly, understanding, knowledgeable, honest, and professional. If you
need to fix or improve something they know plenty of people to support you in
your project. We are very satisfied customers.

Darcie and the office staff were great. I had to sell my home because of loss of my
partner. I owned my home for 30 years and I in no way wanted to sell it. Darcie was
wonderful. She helped me in so many ways. She talked me through the process and
was available to me at all times. She and her office staff were great.
- Judy H.
Darcie is amazing. We needed to sell our rental home in Portland during the
Pandemic. She worked with us and our Property Management Company (who were
not responsive or helpful). Darcie has her finger on the pulse of the Portland
market and understands what it takes to make the sell. She is very responsive and
was able to help us sell our house long distance. She went above and beyond to
ensure we received the best offer for our house. I would highly recommend Darcie.
- D. S.
Darcie was amazing to work with and we feel very fortunate to have been referred to her. She walked us through the entire process from start to finish and was readily available to answer our questions. She is a great communicator, very knowledgeable, patient, and goes the extra mile to represent her clients. In addition, she has a warm, engaging personality. No doubt we will use Darcie again for our future real estate transactions here in OR. By the way, her support staff was also awesome!!
We have had a great experience working with Darcie. From the first time we met her, when we randomly toured one of the homes she was selling, she was prompt, knowledgeable about local homes, and easy to work with. We ended up both buying a new home and selling our old one with her and had no issues along the way. We were especially new to the home selling process and she helped us with all the house prep (figuring out what we needed to do and finding great contractors to do the work), paperwork, and transaction details and got us a good price. Her whole team was professional and helpful, we would definitely recommend.
Darcie has been great through the whole buying and selling process. She answered all of our questions and was able to negotiate a great price when we sold our home and helped negotiate repairs when we bought our new house. I honestly believe that she saved us thousands of dollars through her understanding of the market and ability to negotiate. She truly is a great real estate agent and would recommend to anyone
This is our first time working with real estate agents. Darcie and her team are truly
professional in every ways. She brought a well prepared proposal for listing
strategies, analyzing pros and cons with us, but never forced her ideas onto us. We
moved out of state shortly after we decided to work with her. She took care of all
the cleaning and repairing in a transparent and trustworthy manner and made the
whole process stress-free. She even put a warranty on the property at listing and
turned out helping to cover an unexpected garage ceiling leakage and saved big for
us. Meanwhile she always kept us updated and was ready to answer our phone
calls, text messages or emails. We highly recommend Darcie and her team and
would love to work with her if there are chances in the future.
- Yao C.
We were looking to buy a townhome to co-own with our son, who is a first time
home buyer. Darcie immediately worked to understand our particular needs and
wants, was incredibly helpful, and always made herself available to us, even while
on vacation. She and her associates had great input regarding the positives and
negatives of each of the properties we looked at. Can't say enough good things
about Darcie, and we would definitely recommend her and use her services again
in the future!
- Keith D.
We were living in Arizona when we started looking for a house in Oregon and
Darcie did all the initial leg work for us. She went to see properties and Face timed
us, giving us a virtual tour as she did so. She was always honest and straight
forward, listening to what we wanted saving us a lot of time in finding the right
home. The finance process was stressful at times to say the least but Darcie was
very knowledgeable and reassuring throughout this until we finally secured our
dream home. I would highly recommend Darcie and her team who will always be
on your side every step of the way.
- Jacqueline H.
We have worked with Darcie and team twice in the past year! Nothing is left
overlooked, their process is seamless and it was a joy to work with them. We would
highly recommend them.
- H. B.
Darcie went above and beyond helping me find my house. And when my lender and
the sellers realtor kept dropping the ball and not doing their job, Darcie stepped in
and practically did their jobs for them. Without her, all the needed repairs would
not have been completed and closing would have been greatly delayed. I will
absolutely be coming back to Darcie when I'm ready to move onto another house in
the future!
- K. R.
When we found a home that was a perfect fit for us, little did we know that a
pandemic would begin. Darcie's vast experience and expertise helped us to
successfully navigate both our purchase and sale in uncharted territory. She
researched a barrage of new regulations and guided us every step of the way. Her
attention to detail, sharp negotiation skills, and cheerful disposition helped us
through an extremely stressful time. In addition, her professional team jumped in
to assist when necessary. We are grateful to call Darcie our real estate agent and
friend. She really went above and beyond! Thank you!
- Jim & Paris.
Darcie made the process of buying my first home so straightforward and
encouraging, even in the midst of a pandemic! She's been in the biz a long time and
not only is she on top of things every step of the way, but she is a very genuine
person and went out of her way to make sure I knew and understood what was
happening with my purchase at all times. She really listened to what I wanted to
find in a home, and in the end I wound up striking gold with something I'm very
happy with. Thank you Darcie and company for the awesome work you do--I can't
wait to move in to my new castle!
- Courtney B.
I have personally bought and sold many homes in my life. However, this was my
first time with Darcie.... the best ever! So knowledgeable and so efficient in all areas
that I am still in awe!
- Young J.
We worked with Darcie and were extremely pleased with the thoroughly
professional services she provided. From the initial discussion where we talked
about the current market and our neighborhood in particular to the little items we
needed to fix to present our house in the best possible light Darcie was very easy to
work with. We discussed listing price and she fully explained why we ended up
where we did. She bought a team in the stage the house to show it in it's best
possible light. She handled the viewing requests for us although we had the option
to do it ourselves. We ended up getting multiple offers and she explained why one
was better than another. Sometimes it's not so obvious. During the process she
listened to and fully understood our situation and even negotiated a few
unexpected items into the accepted offer. The inspection process and subsequent
negotiation was again professionally handled. We were thoroughly pleased with the
process and while the cost is not cheap we felt we got our moneys worth.
- Sue M.
It was a great experience working with Darcie and her team with our listing. Their
professionalism, technical competence and friendliness shines through the entire
process and made both the satisfactory end result and the journey to reach it
seems way easier than it is. Other than always being responsive in communication,
helpful with arranging resources and efficient in keeping on top of key milestones
and timeline, what really set Darcie apart is that she is exceptionally detail and data
driven. Her understanding of the local market traces closely with the fast-changing
volatility and variability. The market insight from this level of pulse taking makes her
pricing and timing suggestion spot on. What's more impressive on top of this is that
at no time did we feel it's just about numbers with Darcie; For all the activities
across a significant client and listing inventory, Darcie and her team keep an
exceptional level of individual touch towards us providing suggestions and
solutions that's only possible with thought and care and we're very grateful for it.
All in all I would definitely recommend Darcie and her team without reservation.
- N. A.
We chose Darcie to help us with selling our home in Lake Oswego. It was a very
emotional time due to leaving a home, jobs, and community that we loved for 10
years. Darcie prepared us well and insisted upon us having a “plan” in place and
knowing exactly what to expect moving forward. She was patient but honest and
never feeds you a line. She really knows the market! Her team is exceptional,
including: staging (using our own furniture and art), photography, listing (photos in
order so they make sense to a buyer), pricing, open house, and working with all
websites (some are problematic). We had a full price offer in 3 days. Darcie helped
manage and negotiate and facilitate the inspections and minor “to do’s.” I can’t
recommend Darcie and her team enough. Even though we moved 1100 miles away,
Darcie still answers the phone and has helped us as we make a purchase on our
next property. She is the best of the best!
- Kristin W.
Darcie carefully reviewed our home and made recommendations that helped sell
the house. Darcie and her team did a great job staging the house and the
professional pictures on the internet made the house shine. She did a great job
keeping us informed and she was very professional in the job representing us in
final negotiations. In a market that averaged houses on the market for 80 days, our
house was sold & closed with 30 days of placing it on the market. The house was
well staged and shown. We ended up being able to choose from 7 offers, three for
cash. Darcie took the time and expense to have her trusted inspectors review the
house so that we could negotiate with the buyers on final "fixes" and price
decisions. We would highly recommend Darcie as a realtor for other people
planning to sell their homes in our area. She really knows the market and she was
instrumental in targeting that market with the right price to bring people in to view
the house.
- Dr. D.
Darcie and her team of professionals were friendly, accessible and handled everything in a timely and competent manner. It was a pleasure to work with each of them. We are happy to give them the highest recommendation.
From the beginning of the selling process to the end, Darcie and her team were
professional, proactive, knowledgeable and truly excited to work with us. Darcie
provided complete services with staging, information/advice on pricing and the
market, open houses and showings. Darcie was always available for our questions,
comments and concerns throughout the process.....we felt we were her number
one priority. We relied on her for feedback in the negotiation process and she
always listened to our comments and questions. I would certainly call Darcie in the
future and would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home!!
- Linda B.
Working with Darcie was the best Realtor experience we have ever had! She has an
absolute amazing amount of real estate knowledge and an amazing staff that got
everything accomplished quickly. She also has a detailed list of companies that got
all of the repairs and home updates done expeditiously and affordably!! Darcie was
the BEST part of our real estate transaction!!!
- Larry B.
First-off what an AMAZING team! I had the pleasure working with Chase over the past 6
months in this competitive market. I went through several (5 or 6) other brokers that didn’t
have the work ethic, knowledge, relentless determination, and communication that Chase
had. His ability to connect and listen to his clients is what sets him apart from others.
Additionally, the team that supports Chase was amazing, always on point and great
communication. Overall, exceptional team and I would highly recommend working with this
group, you will not be disappointed. Again, Amazing Team!!!!
- Travis O.
Our home buying experience was easy and painless thanks to Chase. He worked
with us on our schedule and was always easy to get in contact with .He had a clear
understanding of our requirements and started recommending properties based
on our specifications. He was also super respectful of our budget and never pushed
us to offer anything we were uncomfortable with. While selling prices in this area
are insanely hard to predict, Chase worked hard to put together detailed comps,
talking to each seller's agent to get a sense of competitiveness prior to the offer
date, and was generally quite accurate in his suggested offer prices. He kept us well
informed during the purchasing and closing process. We honestly miss our regular
open houses with him I highly recommend Chase for anyone looking to buy/sell a
house.
