A dynamic professional who brings more than a decade of experience in city management and handling hefty construction budgets to her thriving real estate career, Victoria Krause Schutte is a proud Chicago area native. With a master’s degree in public finance and a background as a cost analyst for a Fortune 500 firm, Schutte’s analytical prowess, passion for real estate and deep local market knowledge made her transition to real estate a natural fit.
Lauded by her clients, Schutte possesses a calm demeanor, expert problem-solving skills and a hands-on approach that set her apart. Clients also rave about her trustworthiness and stellar communication skills. “My clients trust me with the artistic and business aspects of selling their homes, often relying on my staging, pricing and marketing expertise,” she says. “I am my client’s fiercest advocate and dependable partner throughout the process, ensuring they feel supported and heard every step of the way.”
Combining her expertise with the top resources from the No. 1 brokerage in Chicagoland and southwestern Michigan, Schutte offers white-glove, concierge-level service that is unmatched. Licensed in both Illinois and Michigan, she’s an authority in the Oak Park market where she resides as well as the western suburbs and southwestern Michigan — where she owns a sprawling 30-acre farm.
Schutte consistently ranks among the upper echelon of agents in her firm for sales volume, thanks to her resilience and flexibility. She was recently named the top agent at her location with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate and had four Frank Lloyd Wright listings in the past year — among the highest in the nation. Her dedication, keen eye for detail, creative staging and strategic use of social media are key reasons her listings sell an average of 20 days faster than others.
When she’s not closing deals, Schutte loves spending time with her husband, three daughters and two French bulldogs at their Michigan farm. She’s an avid flea market explorer, horseback rider and design enthusiast.
