. Professional due diligence is always at the fore

.
Professional due diligence is always at the forefront of a transaction. But selling homes is more than negotiations, marketing, data, and experience.

Selling homes with specific architectural features and prime locations requires a higher level of intuitiveness.

And selling a home for a family making an enormous transition — from California to the East Coast, leaving the house where they raised their children — is an emotional rollercoaster. It requires integrity, empathy, and compassion.

This is why I love what I do. There’s the gritty business side, and there’s the hand-holding, family side. 🤍

L I V I N G x S I M P L Y //

Melissa + I met at a tiny little wine bar during the pandemic. She was sitting with her beautiful dog Ali. At the time I was dogless. I asked if I could pet Ali. We began to talk + realized we had some real estate interests in common. Fast-forward, we ended up teaming up on a few listings from purchase to design concept to staging to listing and selling (well above asking) We worked beautifully + successfully together.

Then she moved to Northern California & comes down occasionally to attend to her investment property. She’s a badass + I am continually inspired by her.

So happy she could join me for a stunning evening on the water. 🌊🌅⛵️

I miss her dearly.🤍🌷

(she’s not on the socials so I cannot tag her. )

H O R S E S

A slice of my family are currently residing where (some) of our/my ancestors were born
+ as a result, more of my family have been visiting.

My last (given/maiden) name is Posthuma
We are Dutch, but also Frisian.

Our family comes from the part of the Netherlands called Friesland, in the northwest of the country. They have their own language as well + it’s the closest language to English. Although, it’s dying out. It’s also spoken in a few other places in the north of Europe. There’s a famous ice skating race that takes place in Friesland called the 11 city tour, where they race between 11 cities on the canals. With climate change, it rarely occurs any more.

My (now retired) horse “Jens” was imported from the same region of the Netherlands.

Fun facts about Victoria Posthuma that are not trending on TikTok or Instagram! 🇳🇱

Posting what matters to me.🌷

Everyone’s selling the same house tours + the same capsule wardrobe + the same wellness checklist +++

“Standing out” is really about the quiet courage to follow your own taste + pace / values.

Choose spaces that feel like you + style that tells your story + habits that nourish your real life — not just your feed. The algorithm rewards sameness.

Stay different.

Living in California
(as a) Native provides me with a deep seated knowledge of the elusive term “a sense of place” + to find a home based on your sensibilities + your heritage + your dream for what everyday life appears to be.

I am an adventurous being. My passions are horses
+ sailing + solo travel + my international family + food & wine + the arts.
for those of you who are curious…I’m still poppin!

Nothing compares to time with family.
I take none of it for granted.

Insane Local Food + Typhoons + Earthquakes + Trains + Shrines & Temples + Japanese Baseball Game + Museums + Coffee Culture and so much more!

I become a better story teller / dinner party guest with every solo travel experience!

P O W E R + M O V E //

Breaking into real estate is hard — financing quirks, hidden costs, zoning rules, and tight timing create a high barrier to entry. I’m a real estate consultant with 22 years of experience across every market imaginable and a large, trusted network of brokers, lenders, investors, and service providers. I find off-market opportunities, structure smarter deals, negotiate fiercely, and guide clients through regulatory and financing pitfalls so they save time, reduce risk, and maximize return. If you want a partner who knows where to look and how to move, in the spirit of inspired, ethical and informed communication, DM me — let’s make your next move the right one.

Too many words for a post, but let’s just say this turned out really nice!

I couldn’t be a prouder Mother. That’s not to say I’m proud of myself. That’s to say I’m proud of both my sons beyond words.

I also feel so extraordinarily blessed that they both found such amazing partners!

Don’t even get me started about being a
G R A N D Mother!

Years ago I never would’ve imagined that I would’ve been one of “these woman”. I only wanted horses + dogs 😂

Now? My Northstar⭐️is essentially this amazing family of mine!
