About Me:

My Client-First Philosophy

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.

That said, in my experience as a Jacksonville real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

I am an 18 year resident of Florida, and specializes in the residential market for Buyers and Sellers, even if you are out of state or out of the country. I am a full-time, dedicated REALTOR®, and have an outstanding reputation for getting results for both Buyers and Sellers in the Florida Real Estate market.

Testimonials

"Dear Gina,

My husband and I found ourselves needing to buy a condo in Jacksonville immediately. We searched on-line for a realtor who was knowledgeable with the Jacksonville area, who appreciated our time constraints, and respected our budget and our tastes. We were quickly impressed with the attention you gave us and the research you provided.

We drove for nearly 5 hours to Jacksonville, hoping to find one condo that was decent, but you presented 5 properties that were just great. After a long day of visiting the different condos, we were very pleased with the property we chose. We moved in two weeks later and all went smoothly.

Gina thanks again for your professionalism, your patience, and for working so hard for us, even throughout the closing process. We're so glad that you zeroed in on the right quality, the right location, and the right price.

Oh, and thanks for being so nice.....it made our experience so much better."

Warm regards,
Holly & Steve of South Florida

"Thank you so much, Gina, for making our first home selling experience go smoothly. We put our house on the market and in the first 6 days had 13 showings and also had an offer by the end of day 6. We were so impressed with Gina, that we recommended her to some good friends of ours who were also looking to sell their house and they had an offer within 10 days! Thanks again for all the hard work!"

"We had a great experience selling our home with Gina. We were first time sellers and were emotionally attached to our "first home," which made the process very stressful for us from the get-go! Gina was very understanding yet professional, and understood how to meet our needs. We put our home on the market in the beginning of September and closed on September 27th. It was crazy, but Gina made sure to get all the paperwork in order and schedule all of the inspectors so that we could meet our stringent deadlines. Throughout the negotiation process, Gina served as a consultant giving us her professional opinion, but then listened to our point of view, then presented a win win solution for all parties so that the sale would go through! We have decided to rent for a year, but when we jump back in the market, Gina will be our first contact! I would recommend her without hesitation...whether this is your first time buying or selling a home, or you've done this many times...she'll be able to exceed your expectations! Thanks, Gina!"

"We want to thank you for all of your guidance and help in purchasing our home in St. Augustine. Buying a home in Fl was a big deal to us because my husband and I have always lived in NY and had no clue how to start the process into looking for homes in FL. We didn¿t even know what communities to look into what were good school districts, so we sought out to find a realtor that would understand us. Gina, you were definitely the right person for us! Gina, you really worked hard to find us homes to see within our price range. My husband and I especially loved the fact that you were so natural at what you do. We felt no pressure while looking at homes and you were very patient, knowledgeable and friendly as well. We actually felt as if we were working with a family member or a friend that we had known for years. My husband and I were so grateful that you were able to do the walk through of the house for us because we were in NY at the time. You even went a step further to do the final walk through with my husband and even sent us nice pictures to share with our family here in NY of the house we purchased. As our closing date neared, we began to feel a bit nervous about the process but you always stepped up with a practical and timely solution helping to ensure that the deal went through smoothly, and you were right, it did! Additionally, you have assisted us after the purchase with the transition of home services and helpful information about our home and community services. Let me just say, that your professionalism and services far exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend you to other purchasers, as well as solicit your services again. We look forward to moving into our home and enjoying life in St. Augustine. Thanks again!"
-Margie & Jerry of Brooklyn, NY

"Gina was extremely helpful to us during our recent relocation. Her knowledge of the Jacksonville area was especially helpful as we were moving in from out of state. She was always on top of things as we moved toward closing. This was invaluable to us as we were often unavailable to handle issues ourselves because we were seldom in town. From our experience we found Gina to be extremely friendly, effective, and dedicated to making what can be a difficult undertaking pleasant."
-John & Jacqueline of Virginia

"Dear Gina and Chris, We wanted to write you this letter to let you know how much we appreciate you helping us find our first home. You must have shown us more than 30 homes all over Jacksonville, and never once pressured us to make a quick decision. We spent countless weekends driving around town looking for that perfect house and with your help we were able to find it. We are in love with our house and want to thank you for your real estate knowledge in guiding us in making the right choice. We never want to sell our home, but if and when that time comes you will surely be the only one that we want to work with. I will defiantly be sending some referrals your way. I have some friends and family that will be looking to purchase soon, and I know that you will take great care of them as you took great care of us. Thanks again for all your hard work."
