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 firm which has successfully closed hundreds of transactions throughout the area, particularly in Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, and Laguna Niguel. LaVonne and Herb enjoy a local reputation as the “go-to” realtor in the south Orange County communities they serve most, but they’ve also sold homes 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.When LaVonne became a full-time realtor in the late nineties, they expanded the business to include the residential housing market. In addition to handling standard residential transactions, LaVonne is a certified HAFA and Short Sale expert and well-recognized for her knowledge and experience helping clients understand the complex foreclosure market, and the challenges and benefits of pursuing a short-sale selling strategy.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 even specialized tradesmen.LaVonne is an Iowan, but has resided in southern California since the early eighties. She has a BA in Exercise Physiology from Chapman University, owned and operated a health club, and 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. She believes that, “self-discipline and perseverance are essential to a happy, healthy personal life and her success in the real estate business.”LaVonne and Herb have two daughters and one granddaughter, Avery who is 5 years old. Elizabeth is a teacher, and Natalie is a psychologist and works as a counselor in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.
