Regina Acosta Tobin

German Village-Based Realtor

I am a seasoned, full-time Realtor of more than 13 years helping buyers and sellers negotiate transactions. I’m also the BROKER/OWNER of METRO VILLAGE REALTY. I’ve earned numerous awards and distinctions, many of which are listed below. While my office is in the German Village area, I routinely work with clients throughout the metro Columbus including downtown, the Victorian Village area, Grandview Heights and Clintonville.

Born to Be a Real Estate Agent

At least that’s what my family tells me. Maybe they’re right. Originally from Puerto Rico, I’ve lived in Louisiana, Texas, California, Utah, South Carolina and now Ohio. Because of my own relocation experiences, I’m especially sensitive to the needs of my relocation clients. I now live in German Village with my husband, Jeff, our dogs, Oscar and Rico, and our cat, Mama.

Fluent in Spanish and English, I graduated from the University of Texas (go Longhorns!) with a B.S. in Bilingual Education. I was an elementary school teacher for several years in Austin and Los Angeles. I also received my M.A. in Counseling from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and was a school counselor for 4 years. You’d be amazed how often that training comes in handy during real estate negotiations.

When not working with home buyers and sellers, you will likely find me tutoring students at Stewart St. School in German Village, volunteering for a variety of community organizations and issues,  and whenever I have spare time (which isn’t often), working out and creating sculptural and functional pottery pieces.

Making Sense of Today’s Real Estate Market

If  you are wondering what the current market conditions mean for your home or the one you were getting ready to search for, I can assure you, opportunities abound! I would be privileged to share my expertise and enthusiasm with you, and to be your trusted real estate advisers as well as the professionals you refer to friends and family.
