BELLINGHAM, Wash., Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PLACE, the real estate industry's only integrated technology, business services, and consumer platform for top-performing teams, announced today the addition of three seasoned leaders to its executive ranks: Nikki Miller, formerly of Movoto; Jamie Jatzlau, most recently with Realtor.com and previously General Counsel for OpCity and Keller Williams Realty International; and Claire Dunham, most recently Chief Operations Officer for Homeward and previously with ShippingEasy and OutboundEngine.

These hires reflect PLACE's commitment to bringing in top-tier talent to support the company's rapid scale, expand its national footprint, and further its mission to deliver the dream of homeownership through a seamless, end-to-end experience.

Together, Nikki, Jamie, and Claire bring decades of combined expertise across real estate operations, legal and regulatory strategy, marketplace growth, and innovative proptech leadership.

Nikki Miller joins PLACE as Vice President of Growth, bringing extensive experience in operational excellence, product-driven strategy, and scaling high-growth real estate platforms.

Jamie Jatzlau, now PLACE's General Counsel, brings a powerful blend of corporate, technology, AI, compliance, and real estate expertise – strengthening PLACE's legal and strategic foundation as the company continues to innovate and the path to a potential IPO.

Claire Dunham, newly appointed Senior Vice President of Title Operations and Strategy, adds significant strategic and operational depth in the proptech space, with a proven track record of scaling modern homeownership solutions and deep expertise across both title and mortgage processes.

The three leaders will play instrumental roles across strategy, operations, partner experience, and organizational growth – further strengthening PLACE's position as the most comprehensive platform spanning real estate, mortgage, title, insurance, and home services.
