I would use Jen Ortman in a heartbeat to either sell my home or help me find a home. She clearly understood the type of property I was looking for and what my criteria was and she made sure to show me only properties that fit that description in the areas I was interested in living. She is pleasant, knowledgable and truly know real estate and the industry. I highly recommend her to anyone who is either considering to sell or interested in purchasing a home.
Jen helped my husband and me find our first home. She was extremely patient with us as we worked through the process. She educated us thoroughly on the entire purchase process before we started looking at homes. After the first few times out with Jen looking at homes, she got to know what we liked and was then able to "rule out" some homes without us having to go through them.
During the entire process, Jen was very responsive and informative. If we were waiting to hear back on an offer, she made sure to keep in touch with us to give us updates. She never pressured us to make a decision. Once we finally find our home, she was there through every step of the offer/purchase process from inspections to closing.
I have recommended Jen to friends and will be sure to use her the next time I am in the market to buy/sell a house!
Jen is the most amazing agent! She was so dedicated in finding us our perfect home! She was consistently updating us with properties that she thought we would like! She would show us properties at all hours of the day, was extremely available to show houses, and even went and looked at properties for us while we were out of town. She was so friendly and extremely helpful to us! Being a first time home buyer we were very nervous and she was always willing to help us with all of our questions! She is truly amazing!
Jen is very knowledgeable of the current market conditions and does a great job in keeping us appraised of listings and closings of properties similiar to ours.
“Jen is a top-notch agent -- the best there is. She is a true professional and has been an aggressive and successful marketer of our homes. She always presents a thorough "marketing plan" and follows it through to the letter, with outstanding customer service and a high degree of flexibility. We highly recommended her!”

“We had built the perfect house for ourselves when we decided to sell it, we just knew that it would sell instantly, so we put a for sale by owner sign up and waited for the first car to drive past, stop and buy it. Someone did stop by right away, a realtor.
Over the next five months we got to meet a few potential buyers and at least 50 realtors. Despite escalating our sales efforts with newspaper advertisements and other means, we had not sold the house. Out of the realtors that had stopped by during those months we finally selected three with whom to discuss how they would sell the house. Jen Ortman was one of the three.
She prepared a packet of information about the value of the house and made recommendations specific to our house to help with selling it. The other realtors did not put the same effort or interest into getting our business. Despite a discounted commission offered by one of the other realtors, we decided that Jen was the person to sell our house...
One month after Jen took over the sales effort we had an offer on the house that resulted in a sale. During that month she and her able assistant, Megan, kept us up to date by phone, email and via her website...
Overall Jen demonstrated to us why professional realtors are worth their commission and we heartily recommend them.”
