About Jamie

Sometimes we choose courage, and sometimes courage chooses us. Few people know this better than Jamie Dorn-Lane. As a child, Jamie was very introverted, so when she made bold moves that put her in front of crowded rooms, it always brought a feeling of great accomplishment. Her courage began with dance recitals and continued through her time at Washington State University, when she applied to become part of their ‘Cougar Connection’ program, which required traveling throughout the state as a public speaker to recruit other students. Less than a dozen students per year were chosen for this honor, and she felt proud of that achievement, even though it was surely against her nature. Jamie grew up in California, and through the years, she would display even more courage as she went on a cross-country journey, moving to places where she knew absolutely no one. Her first move was to Washington State to attend college, then to Florida, and finally settling in Tennessee. After graduating with an Advertising degree from Washington State University, she joined a Public Relations firm. She enjoyed the people, but not the politics, so when a friend suggested she try property management, she gave it a shot. That position led her to get her real estate license, and eventually work for a builder in a 55+ community in Florida, which she instantly loved. In 2015, she made the boldest move yet, and opened her own brokerage. Because she had experienced so many moves and major lifestyle changes herself, she knew she was best suited to work with people who needed guidance doing the same. And the best part was, her Mom, Niki, decided to join the brokerage as well, and contribute her own life experience as a leader, mentor, and active retiree. Together, they could help people who were approaching or in retirement so they could list or locate a home and lifestyle to better suit their changing needs. That’s how they became known as the Lifestyle Locators®. It was another example of Jamie choosing courage. But now, courage would choose her. In 2018, in the midst of a very successful run in real estate, Jamie began having serious health issues. After multiple doctors had told her it was all in her head, she found out she had a massive tumor. In October of that same year, she underwent a difficult surgery called a ‘Whipple’ procedure to remove the tumor. She was living in Florida at the time, and decided shortly afterward to move to Tennessee so she could have access to better medical care. Today, she focuses on the positive and her personality shines so much that virtually all of her clients have adopted her as family. Today, Jamie and Niki work with the top brokerage in Knoxville, Realty Executives Associates and are recognized for working with 50+ active retirees and seniors who need a low maintenance lifestyle and with a sense of community. In fact, they both are certified as Senior Real Estate Specialists® (SRES®) and New Home Specialists. They have experience in second homes, vacation homes, property management, and lifestyle communities. They’re focused on locating the right home at the right price and getting their clients to the closing table on time. They also have an extraordinary ability to provide an stress-free experience and optimistic approach to each situation. When Jamie isn’t helping her clients locate the lifestyle of their dreams, she’s living hers. She enjoys working and even traveling with her Mom to explore new places together. She continues to choose courage daily, but not just for herself. She understands what’s involved in a major life change, and she proudly helps her clients to locate their own bold, new home and lifestyle.

Jamie is an awesome Realtor!

Jamie was great to worth with. She displayed nop-notch knowledge and professionalism, and made my first experience purchasing my first home very enjoyable. She communicated with me on a regular basis and answered my questions promptly. I would highly recommend her to family and friends, who are seeking to buy or sell a house. Thank you.

I am 74 years old...so the recent home purchase my husband and I made recently was not our first. Jamie was great to work with...kept us informed...responsive and had our backs. She is very knowledgeable and keeps current with what is going on. Highly recommend.

Above and Beyond

As out of town buyers who haven't bought a house in 24 years, we couldn't have asked for a more accommodating agent. Not only was Jamie knowledgeable about the laws, explaining the process to us and was accessible whenever we had questions, but she listened to what we were looking for and drove over 2 hours on several occasions to view and video a house to send us to view electronically. When we finally found the home for us, she was extremely helpful walking us through the inspection and closing. But the best surprise was how much we enjoyed her company. She made house hunting fun. I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking to move or find the location for them.

It was a pleasure working with Jamie and Niki

It was a pleasure working with Jamie and Niki. Our move halfway across the country was stressful for our family, so it was refreshing to work someone so professional, patient, and kind. They made a tough situation much easier.

Jamie is awesome! We had a different realtor when we first moved to Knoxville and it seemed like he

Jamie is awesome! We had a different realtor when we first moved to Knoxville and it seemed like he didn't try to find any properties for us, he only showed us what we found on our own. Also he tried to sell us on everything, not keeping our wants and needs in mind. We found Jamie and could not be happier!! She took all of our wants/ needs/ must-haves to heart and searched for suitable places. She was very flexible with our ever changing ideas and goals, and always with a smile and upbeat and pleasant attitude. We quickly found our "for now" house with her help and I would recommend her to anyone! She can handle anything! Thanks Jamie for helping us get settled in here in Knoxville!
