The Van Horns: A Family Legacy of Real Estate Expertise

Meet the Owners

Real estate is deeply rooted in the Van Horn family, where two generations have come together to transform dreams into reality. Chad and Jenny Van Horn, Broker Owners, established their boutique brokerage in 2005, quickly earning a reputation as one of West Michigan’s premier real estate teams. Their affiliation with Sotheby’s International Realty in 2016 elevated their reach, pairing their local expertise with the enduring prestige of a globally renowned brand and access to a discerning, international clientele.

Specializing in exceptional waterfront and lifestyle properties, the Van Horns bring decades of combined experience, a passion for excellence, and an unwavering commitment to their clients. Chad’s award-winning work in brokerage and development has been recognized with top honors, including a First Place American Residential Design Award, as well as accolades for Best Floor Plan and Best Kitchen through the Parade of Homes. Paired with Jenny’s warmth and talent for fostering lasting relationships, their leadership has shaped a brokerage defined by integrity, vision, and results.

Away from the office, the Van Horns are most at home on the water. Whether waterskiing, enjoying a quiet walk along the beach, or chasing after their growing crew of grandchildren, they embrace every moment of the lifestyle they so often help others discover. With the support of their four children—Josi, Ceejae, Jade, and Tristan—their business is both a family legacy and a shared passion.

From the shoreline to the closing table, Beacon Sotheby’s International Realty sets a new benchmark for service, insight, and discretion. Backed by decades of experience and a hands-on, highly customized approach, the Van Horns lead with intention—delivering a real estate experience that feels curated, seamless, and distinctly your own.
