ReviewI have made two home purchases with the team at Darcie VanderZanden both were a great experience, one recently and one in 2018. Each time you really feel that they care for the client and building a lasting relationship. This most recent purchase/sale, late summer of 2026, we worked closely with Chase Underwood. Chase was a pleasure to work with, he handled the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. He was always there for us when we needed him, honest and transparent. Het set up simultaneous closures, got the most out of our home and got us the home we were after. He helped us make the correct and responsible decisions instead of the rash decisions one can make when dealing with the frustrations of selling. Highly recommend Chase and Darcie VanderZanden real estate. I will be recommending to anyone thinking of buying/selling.

ReviewWe cannot recommend Darcie and her team enough. Darcie helped us buy and sell our first home and found us our dream family home. She and Christian were so amazing at listening to our wants and needs and curating the perfect selection. Their knowledge and professionalism are truly unmatched. We will forever go to Darcie and her team with all of our real estate needs.

ReviewWe had a wonderful experience working with Darcie and her team throughout both the buying and selling process. Darcie's communication was excellent, and she always took the time to explain things clearly and make sure we truly understood every decision along the way. We felt supported and confident throughout the entire process because we knew we could trust her guidance. We always felt like a priority and never felt rushed or overlooked. Everything went smoothly from selling our home to buying our new one, and were so grateful for the time and care Darcie and her team put into helping us through both processes. We would absolutely recommend Darcie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

ReviewDarcie did a great job for us! With only three days in town to find a house, Darcie was able to help us buy just the right property for our family. She made the home-buying process so easy for us moving back to Oregon from out of state. We cannot say enough good things about her and would highly recommend trusting her to handle all of your real estate needs. Thank you so much for all your help, Darcie!

ReviewWorking with VanderZanden and specifically with Christian Meader was a dream. We couldn't have had a better experience from the beginning of the process right to the end and then some; Christian was the ultimate professional. He had great bits of advice and a wealth of knowledge that could only come from someone who is a master at their craft. My entire family felt totally at ease relating to him. We would recommend VanderZanden and Christian time and time again because they followed through on every item as well as paid attention to every detail. This is a top-notch company with top-notch staff, and we are so happy they made our home buying experience an extremely good one.

ReviewWorking with Chase Underwood to sell our home from out of state was genuinely one of the smoothest professional experiences weve had. Wed spoken with a few other realtors before choosing them, and what set VanderZanden apart immediately was their honesty and transparency aEUR" others seemed more interested in telling us what we wanted to hear, while Chase and Darcie gave us a clear-eyed read on the market and set realistic expectations on pricing and timing from day one. Throughout the process they were communicative, proactive, and consistently a step ahead of us on logistics aEUR" always available to talk, which was critical given we were managing the sale remotely, and willing to go above and beyond in ways big and small (including power washing the driveway themselves). That kind of hands-on care made an inherently stressful long-distance sale feel genuinely manageable. The result speaks for itself aEUR" our house sold in under two weeks. Wed 100% recommend again to anyone navigating a sale, especially anyone who values directness and a steady hand.

ReviewWorking with Vanderzanden Real Estate has been awesome. Darcie Vanderzanden helped us close on our new home in Eagle Crest. It was such an exciting day! Darcies knowledge in the real estate market is second to none. We have purchased two homes with Darcies help and will always call on her when we need to take a next step or start a new adventure. Darcies knowledge of the available properties in Eagle Crest, especially the one that checked all of our boxes, helped her to guide and counsel us to make that aEUR~one and done offer. Darcie will go to bat for her clients from offer to close and everything in between. This is our second home purchase with Darcie Vanderzanden Real Estate and we will always reach out to her for the excellent services that she provides her customers. Darcie thank you for being with us every step of the way! Also a special thank you for the beautiful aEUR~Welcome Home Basket that contained lots of fun items for the new house!

ReviewI have had a long time relationship with VanderZanden Real Estate Group and Darcie VanderZanden in particular. Sje has assisted me in selling 2 homes, one in the Bethany area and the other in the Tanasbourne area. Darcie has deep expertise and knowledge in the field. Despite some challenges with unexpected market changes and a difficult HOA she always looked out for my best interest. She is savvy and trustworthy.

ReviewWorking with Darcie and the rest of the VanderZanden group was a very rewarding and profitable experience. Darcie's knowledge of the real estate market and pricing and negotiation techniques moved the sale of our property fast and more profitable than I expected from the sale. Darcie was completely responsive throughout the entire process, answering my questions by phone and text all days of the work starting early in the morning and lasting well into evening. It's hard to think of a more professional and qualified group in their respective discipline. For these reasons, the Vanderzanden group is HIGHLY recommended.

ReviewMy experience with Chase Underwood and his company was 10/10. He was extremely patient throughout our almost a year long house hunting journey. He always gives you advice but never pressure you to settle for a house, which I really appreciated. That really allowed me to find my ultimate house that I absolutely love. And then durng the purchasing process I had so many hurdles to overcome and Chase always had my back. He negotiated with sellers on behalf of me to get me the best outcome. Also Chase brings in so much positive and cheerful energy which really helps as house hunting can be stressful sometimes. Chase's business partner Darcie got me a fantastic discount for carpeting through their company contacts, which really helped. Highly recommend.

ReviewAs first-time home buyers, my wife and I wanted realtors who would hold our hand through the process and be patient with our endless dumb questions and general derpiness. Darcie and Chase are those realtors. Through the whole stressful and chaotic process, they were not only knowledgeable, but also super responsive and always personable. It didnt feel like hiring professionals as much as making new friends who have your back. Even when there were hiccups along the way (that were not Chase and Darcies fault), they never missed a beat keeping everything on track. During negotiations with the seller, Chase went to bat for us and made a deal everyone was happy with. It was awesome to work with people who are so good at their jobs and clearly love what they do. I highly recommend using VanderZanden Real Estate Group for buying your new home. You may even get a pie out of it.

ReviewI would give Darcie 10 stars if I could. We've used Darcie for both buying and selling She knows her stuff, and advises on pros/cons of each decision along the way; she is never pushy. You never feel rushed when you're talking with her. Her experience is clear, and her competency is very high. We've tried a few other realtors, and deeply regret whenever we don't go with Darcie.

ReviewDarcie was such an amazing partner to us in our first home buying experience. Even though the process was hectic and time-sensitive, Darcie was always cool as a cucumber and gave us a clear roadmap of tasks so we knew what to expect at every turn. Being new to the process, Darcie was so informative and truly had our best interests in mind as we evaluated our options. Having someone that was practical, realistic, and matter-of-fact was the perfect counterbalance for an emotional journey to our first home. We were so thrilled to work with Darcie and highly recommend her as someone who is knowledgeable, experienced, reliable, and committed.

ReviewDar & Darcie & Real Estate Group managed our contract negotiation and the period between contract acceptance and closing extremely well. They communicated with the lender, title company, and inspectors to make sure our closing happened on time. Their agent, Dag Mavrolas, is an expert on the local real estate market. He showed us many homes and gave us honest advice during the purchase process.

ReviewOur 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 himI highly recommend Chase for anyone looking to buy/sell a house

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.

ReviewWe were in the market for our first house. Dag from the Dar and Darcie group was referred to us by our friend. Initially, we worked with Dag mostly though zoom meetings (because of COVID and we were also out of state during that time) to understand the steps involved in buying home. Dag was very patient, thorough and gave us space and time to understand the process. There was no pressure to hurry up. After a month or so, we started visiting a few houses which we liked. Soon, Chase from Dar and Darcie group also joined us to help in our search for our first home. Working with Dag and Chase, together, has been an enjoyful and learning experience. They were always ready to share their knowledge and give us pointers about potential home value, locality nearby and school area. Some of the houses we saw, we liked at first glance but they provided their honest feedback about good and bad points about the house.Within few weeks of visiting houses, we zoomed in on 2 houses which we liked. Dag and Chase were swift in putting out the offers since these 2 houses had very short deadline. They explained us the offer in detail. Our offer for 1 house out of 2 was accepted. Dag and Chase provided full support in inspecting the house, enabling us to visit house several times before the closing date. We got our new home on Jan 20th 2022. Since then, they have contacted us several times to check on us, our new house and to provide support if we need any help.I would say it has been great, knowledgeful working with both Dag and Chase in buying our first home. While looking for real estate agent we wanted someone who is knowledgeable, genuine and who does not put pressure on us to buy home. Both Dag and Chase were right on spot for us. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in market for buying their home.

She helped me through every step of the process.She navigated through multiple offers, and one buyer that backed out with ease and grace, and sold the home for significantly over my asking price.Always there when I needed info and advice, and always on it to get the sale complete.Best experience I have had in selling a home ever! Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

From our initial meeting discussing our selling needs, to getting everything staged and listed, to negotiating offers and getting everything closed in time- they exceeded our expectations and made us feel like we were their top priority. Their knowledge of the market was exceptional. We listed our house and within 5 days, had multiple offers. They definitely delivered from beginning to end. I highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling!

ReviewHaley Vachter and the gang at Dar and Darcie were a tremendous help in our first home buying experience. We originally contacted Haley at the start of the pandemic. She showed us a home and at that time, we decided to wait. Haley was kind enough to follow up with us to see if our minds had changed yet. We were still on the fence.We decided to go for it many months later. We basically picked up where we left off. Haley's communication was the best! We were able to ask many questions at all hours and she responded in a meaningful time frame.The best part about the experience was Haley made it enjoyable. She was as enthusiastic as we were! After hearing all the horror stories from others regarding the home buying experience, we were blown away with how smooth it went.We will definitely be working with Haley and Dar and Darcie in the future!

ReviewI have sold 4 houses in the last 20 years. Haley Vachter and the Darcie and Dar Agency were the best that I have dealt with. Haley confirmed my availability with me and then scheduled all necessary appointments. She informed me of what was happening and what to expect every step of the selling process. She provided feed back when it was appropriate. The Agency was prompt with all DocuSign forms and responding to any questions.The whole process was a positive experience. They are service focused and very professional.

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.

ReviewI had the best time with Dar and Darcie. I found Hayley to be super friendly and professional. She really was a go getter whenever I said I wanted to go see a house. She never pressed her opinion on me. She was very understanding and clearly tried to understand what I wanted and searched for what was best for me. If I saw a house I wanted to go see, she almost always had intel on it and would be able to better inform me whether or not it would be worth my while. When I finally had my offer accepted and we found out that my house appraised lower than what I bought it for, she instantly went and fought for me and managed to get the sellers to lower the price. I have been overjoyed that I was able to work with her and genuinely think that I wouldn't have been able to do it without her kindness and expertise.
