About

Jan Horn is an architectural real estate specialist operating from 3702 Via De La Valle, Del Mar, CA 92014, with more than 30 years dedicated exclusively to the sale of contemporary architect-designed houses. Jan Eric Horn has built a reputation as one of the few real estate professionals in Southern California who treats architect-designed homes as works of art with true collector value, marketing them to a small and highly discriminating circle of buyers. His career includes selling homes designed by a roster of legendary architects — Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., John Lautner, Richard Neutra, Craig Ellwood, Wallace Neff, Charles Eames, Eero Saarinen, Ray Kappe, and many others. Among his most notable sales is Case Study House #9, the Entenza House designed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen, along with the Johnson House by Lloyd Wright and the Rainbow House by John Lautner. Horn is a past affiliate member of the American Institute of Architects, a board member of the Museum of Architecture and Design, and a guest lecturer at UCLA, where he has taught courses on architectural styles and sustainable architecture. He has written monographs including "Your Architectural House is Worth More" and "Smart Houses," and has contributed to the San Diego Business Journal. His wife Maureen Horn, a former executive director at the Walt Disney Company, partners in the practice. The Via De La Valle office location provides wheelchair accessible entrance and parking.
