About Elke
Crossing Borders, Cultures, and Language Barriers to Meet the Needs of my Customers!
Born and raised in Germany, I started my career in Real Estate in 1978. Upon completion of a 3-year apprenticeship I began working with one of the leading Real Estate companies in Wiesbaden, Germany, selling houses, apartments and commercial Real Estate.
My ability to listen, anticipate and accurately assess the wants and needs of my customers quickly earned me the respect of my fellow co-workers and the gratitude of my satisfied customers.
1988 I became my own boss and opened my own Real Estate Company which was very successful. In 2000 I came to the States, and in 2006 I decided to start my real estate career with EXIT Realty Gulf Coast in Venice, which recently changed their name into Gulf Coast Realty. It was a challenging business at the time because the real estate market had begun to decline but I very quickly became one of the leading real estate agents in my office, as well as Florida wide. With a sales volume of almost $10 million a year and the ability to truly market overseas, I can promise my customers that I take every possibility to market and sell their homes. My international experience, languages, contacts and passion for my profession and people are excellent tools which I use to the benefit of my customers. I have found the perfect home for all of my buyers. All of my transactions have been very convenient for my customers and after a closing I have always been there for them should they need me for anything.

Elke's Reviews

The service and personal attention I received from Elke was exceptional. Her knowledge of the local market helped me in my search for the Florida home of my dreams . After patiently going through listings and exploring many neighborhoods and house options, she made sure I got the best value on the purchase of the new home Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, I would highly recommend Elke von Oertzen to help you in this life changing move. I could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide me through the process. - Thomas Arnold

Elke von Oertzen is the most tireless and steadfast advocate of a buyerās interest in residential real estate that I have ever met. She never stops working on her clients behalf. Most importantly, Elke thought of our interests and our resources as if she were spending her own money-she represented my wife and me, and only us, in the transaction. Although that may sound like the way it should always be, I know that frequently real estate brokers have market āentanglementsā that can work to the buyerās detriment. I experienced none of that with Elke, who worked with us to ultimately find our dream home. Elke has my very highest recommendation to any residential buyer entering the Venice area market. - Dean and Maria Florian
