The Personality behind Victoria
Personal Agent for you!
Victoria (Elchert) was born & raised with her three sisters, Linda, Jacqueline and Connie in the small town of Tiffin, Ohio. She graduated from Calvert High School then went onto major in accounting at Heidelberg College. She looks forward to the precious times when she can spend with her family and friends.
Her two beautiful teenage children, Garrett and Jordyn keep things exciting at sporting events, school activities and volunteering at their schools. Let's not forget their well-trained labradoodle Lily who is always happy to see them and new visitors.
Why has she become a #1 Top Agent year after year? It can easily be understood when you get to know how she became who she is today. Her Uncle Ralph, who is a Columbus Real Estate Agent, had strongly suggested that with her personality, dedication, determination, and satisfaction she gets from her work, he knew she had the qualities it takes to be a successful real estate agent. Taking her Uncle's advice, she continued her education and continues to attend many seminars that keep her informed on the new marketing tools & advancements available in today's Internet Market.
How does she continue to be a Top Real Estate Agent, it could be because of her Real Estate Education & Experience but what she inherited from her father Alton helps her crunch the numbers & negotiate the deals like a master. Her Heidelberg College accounting degree and endless real estate graduate programs may be another reason but she also inherited the natural skills of organizing, detailing, multi-tasking, cleaning, caring & helping others from her Mother Joanne.
And it doesn't end with that, Victoria has remarkable energy and driven desire to help others solve their problems, never shying away from a challenge. Her strong religious up bringing gave her that community spirit to give back in anyway she can. She shows this Dedicated of giving back through different charities in various ways. She has helped nearly 85 families a year get the best deals on their home purchase.
Victoria is considered an expert with relocating & transferee's because early in her life she moved
14 times within a 5 year period. She loves to travel & try new things.
She has the Education, Experience and naturally inherited skills it takes to get you what you want. In Her Words: " I make things Happen" |

Remodeling and Renovations >Do Not Over Improve
You have received some extra money! You want to remodel! If you are planning a major renovation, take a few sensible precautions before having plans drawn up and signing on the contractor's dotted line.
Any time you do any significant remodeling, you run the risk of over-improving your home. Please call or send an email if you are interested in a market analysis of what your home is currently worth. We can talk about neighborhood trends and discuss the recent sales of homes in your area.
If your neighborhood is experiencing healthy appreciation, making major changes to your home might make sense. However, if there is not much difference between the prices of remodeled homes and those which have not been renovated, expensive changes may be hard to recover if you sell your home soon. Please call or send an email to get help deciding if remodeling and renovations are in your best interest.
