Introducing the top TC Team in
the Tri-Counties,

10 Years and Counting!

We handle the paper work so you can focus on the people work.

Tera Marie launched Ojai Valley Transaction Coordinators in 2012 with the intention of helping her home-town realtors spend more time in front of clients and less time on administrative tasks, compliance and the ever-changing paperwork puzzle.  The demand for her next-level approach to file management quickly spread and OVTC morphed in to Ventura County Transaction Coordinators.

Today, VC Transaction Coordinators, still widely known as VCTC, supports hundreds of successful real estate agents up and down the California coast and surrounding areas.

The VC|TC team currently includes three Licensed or Certified Transaction Coordinators and two Administrative Assistants who follow VC|TC’s highly refined proprietary systems. Real Estate Agents are carefully paired with a primary TC to ensure a good fit and the company-wide systems allow any member of the VC|TC team to easily and efficiently step in if an agent’s primary TC is out of the office.

Simone Volkman

Owner, CEO, and Transaction Coordinator

(July 2016)

Simone’s friendly and accommodating personality, combined with her attention to detail, ensures a smooth transaction every time. She loves helping her agents free up time to build their businesses and enjoy some time off, too. Simone started at a local real estate brokerage, where she learned all about the details of contracts and disclosures while assisting with broker compliance for the entire office. She brings this knowledge and eagerness to learn new aspects of the contract to every transaction.

After six years with the company, Simone became the owner and CEO of VC|TC. She sets the tone of the culture within VC|TC to one of teamwork and high-level customer service.

Simone was born and raised in Ventura County and now works remotely from Southern Oregon.

Fun Fact: Simone’s favorite pets are her Red Tail Boa Constrictor, Lilith, and mini Husky, Remi.  

Tera Marie Brandolino

Founder/Director of Business Developement and Agent Relationships 

If there’s one thing Tera Marie knows, it’s the importance of properly executed paperwork and efficient procedures. Tera began working as a Transaction Coordinator in 2011 after spending 20 years as a litigation paralegal. Her experience in the legal field gave her the unique ability to manage timeframes, decipher contracts, escrow-related paperwork, reports and disclosures. This knowledge, combined with her love of systems and spending time with people, quickly propelled her from a solo service provider to Founder and Team Leader of VC|TC, creating a team of exceptional transaction coordinators in the Tri-Counties. 

Tera Marie is currently working to support VC|TC as Director of Business Development and Agent Relationships. 

Christa Clegg-Green

Senior Transaction Coordinator (May 2013)

THE OG Employee of VCTC!

Christa’s strong work ethic and “can-do” attitude are what make her a great TC. No matter what the issue is, she will figure out a way to get the job done with a positive attitude and a smile. Christa is the “go-to” girl for making sure that every “i” is dotted and every “t” is crossed. “Works well under pressure” is an understatement – this woman THRIVES under pressure!

Christa has her California Real Estate License as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Business. She lives on the beautiful Central Coast with her two adorable boys and the love of her life, Jordan. She kills it in her role as a “Boy Mom”; unphased by the craziness of life as a Boy Mom and TC Extraordinairre!

Fun Fact: Christa met her Canadian husband through an online video game!

Heather Price

TC Assistant to Simone (January 2020)

The most recent addition to VCTC, Heather worked as a Loan Officer before transitioning to a Real Estate Assistant to a top-producing team where she fell in love with the paperwork side of Real Estate. Not many people can say they love the piles of paperwork, but she does… “There is nothing more satisfying than checking off that last checkmark on your list!”

Heather moved with her better half in 2016 to the Central Coast where she began teaches group fitness classes for fun. She loves the sense of community this small town brings and being close to her family. Her ability to keep a smile on her face through any challenge will keep your transaction flowing smoothly right to that last checkmark!

Fun Fact: Heather’s mom, two sisters and their families all live within five minutes of each other in San Luis Obispo, California.

Heidi Robinson

Transaction Coordinator (April 2022)

Heidi has been a part of the real estate world since 2018. She started off with a career as a real estate agent in Los Angeles. She quickly became a mentor to other agents teaching them how to tackle and understand contracts and make sure every document was completed accurately. After having her second baby boy, Heidi knew she wanted to continue to be involved in real estate but in a position that worked toward her strengths. Documents, contracts, checklists, emails, organized busy work…that’s what she loves! Finding errors to correct and piecing together all the paperwork is like a fun puzzle!

Heidi, her husband and two young boys live in Santa Clarita, CA. They love traveling and beach camping in their RV. Being able to work from *wherever* and spend time with her family is one of the many reasons she loves being a TC.

Fun fact: Heidi married her childhood friend from Jr High school.
