Selling Homes & Apartment Buildings for Over 30 Years
Herb Dittrick is the broker and he and his wife LaVonne Vojak
are the owners of Orange County Realty Co., a locally owned South Orange County
real estate brokerage, which they opened in 2004. Specializing in the sale of homes, and
apartment buildings, they have successfully closed hundreds of transactions
throughout the area. LaVonne and Herb enjoy a local reputation as
the “go-to” realtors in the south Orange County communities they serve most,
but they also sell homes and apartment buildings in Riverside and San Diego
counties.
LaVonne and Herb are known for their wide-ranging knowledge
of the south Orange County real estate market and their careful attention to
each and every detail of a property sale or purchase. But what really
differentiates them from other OC realtors is their absolute insistence upon
direct “broker-to-client” service and communication throughout the entire real
estate transaction.
Herb puts it this way, “At Orange County Realty Co., we don’t
delegate the important details of your property sale or purchase to
less-experienced assistants. We believe that the realtor who is paid the
commission is the person who works one-on-one with the client. You can count on
LaVonne or me to personally quarterback your transaction every step of the way.”
LaVonne and Herb have weathered the extremes of the real
estate market. Herb, a seasoned veteran of the residential investment market,
has sold over 2,000 units—from duplexes to apartment complexes of 100 units or
more. When LaVonne became a full-time realtor in the late nineties, they
expanded the business to include the residential housing market.
As Orange County Realty Co. has expanded through “fat and
lean” California market conditions, LaVonne and Herb have stayed true to their
unique highly personalized “broker-to-client” approach. Over the years they’ve
also assembled a trusted team of highly skilled professionals who serve every
aspect of the real estate industry. When you work with LaVonne and Herb you can
expect timely and excellent service not only from them personally, but from
their team of lenders, escrow and title professionals, home inspectors,
licensed contractors, pest control experts, and specialized tradesmen.
On the personal side, Herb, a New Jersey native, attended
Farleigh Dickenson University and served in the US Army. After migrating to the
Bay Area, he attended San Francisco Law School before joining a prominent
manufacturer’s representative company. He became vice president and national
sales manager, and helped launch national test markets and marketing campaigns.
When Herb obtained his real estate license, he found real estate sales to be the perfect fit
for the sophisticated sales, marketing, and negotiating skills he honed earlier
in his career. And he’s never looked back.
As for LaVonne, she has a BA in Exercise Physiology from
Chapman University, She was a manager for a major health clubs chain. She owned and operated her
own health club. She created and was
featured in her own cable TV fitness program. Later, she was Fitness Consultant
at Taco Bell Corporate Headquarters in Irvine, CA, where she provided health
and fitness programs to their employees. Still a fitness “junkie,” LaVonne
enjoys the challenges of hiking Mt. Whitney, the Grand Canyon and Angels
Landing in Zion National Park.
LaVonne and Herb have two daughters and one granddaughter,
Avery who is 8 years old. Elizabeth is a teacher, and Natalie is a psychologist and works as a counselor in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. When not
selling real estate, they enjoy hiking, golfing, boating and spending time with
their daughters and family.
