I like to think that I'm a new kind of Real Estate Professional. I combine the personal service of a traditional, neighborhood agent with the latest web-based and mobile technologies to create an efficient, secure, and convenient transaction. I am a second-generation Realtor. I studied economics at Westmont College in Santa Barbara and did my graduate work at the University of Colorado at Denver. I also have a certificate in computer programming from Denver Technical College. I specialize in marketing and selling single-family homes and other residential units for primary owner-occupants and investors throughout East Contra Costa County. Brentwood is my home, but my friends and clients take me to Antioch, Oakley and Discovery Bay almost daily. I don't just work in these neighborhoods, I live my life in them. My dad taught me that Real Estate is about cooperation, about serving others and mostly that it is about hard work. My experience has also taught me that it is as rewarding as anything else I could do; My clients always become my friends, even if we don't start out that way.

Gina was born into a real estate family but had no desire to make real estate her career, so she earned her degree in clinical nutrition at Cal Poly. During her senior year, she obtained her real estate license as a way to pay off debt before embarking on her envisioned career of helping people to heal through nutrition. (Health and wellness remain huge priorities for Gina. Yoga, anyone?) Gina spent an entire year literally knocking on doors (and, boy, does she have some stories to tell!) before she sold her first home. And, that was all it took. She’s never looked back from helping her first client and has been helping people in the Tri-Valley ever since. Gina’s true calling and passion is philanthropy, and she is involved through several channels. Currently the Chairman of the Board of the Valley Humane Society in Pleasanton, Gina is able to focus her energy on improving the lives of animals, which is a cause truly near and dear to her heart. Gina and her husband have hosted the much-anticipated “Party for the Pooches” at their home for five consecutive years, and have raised over $100,000 for the Valley Humane Society. She is also an active member and past president of the Pleasanton North Rotary Club, which is involved in helping victims of sex trafficking, assisting veterans, providing wheelchairs to people in third world countries, helping battered women, and numerous other worthwhile causes. She is proud to have received The Business Philanthropy Award by the City of Pleasanton and Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate in 2018 as a result of her efforts. In her free time (That’s actually very funny! Free time?), Gina enjoys hanging out with her husband and their two pups — Perla, an adorable and snuggly white boxer, and Frankie, a shy but sweet Italian Greyhound-Chihuahua rescue. You can often find them at their favorite beach in Half Moon Bay, hiking on the Pleasanton Ridge, or relaxing in Downtown Pleasanton.

ABOUT MY REAL ESTATE CAREER My involvement in the real estate industry began in 1979. I started in my real estate career, straight out of high school, in Southern California. I was offered an opportunity while employed with a new home builder, to throw my hat into the ring as a New Home Sales Person. I relocated to the Northern California area in the early 1980’s. At the end of my New Home Sales Career, I had spent nearly 20 years selling new homes and condo’s for publicly traded builders all over Northern California. It was highly suggested that I accept a position in a senior management position with the builder I worked with at the time, Richmond American Homes. Long story short, I subsequently held positions as Director of Sales and Marketing for Richmond American Homes and KB Home, both in the Bay Area. I was then lured away to take a position at Meritage Homes as VP of Sales and Marketing for the Bay Area. after 27 years in that sector of Real Estate Development and Marketing, I voluntarily decided to take a 1 year long, self imposed sabbatical. In 2007, I brought the skills and training I learned in the corporate builder world to the Real Estate Resale sector. Real Estate is all I know. I have been with the same office for 10 years. My office is located in The Streets of Brentwood. You will see when you read the list of my past sales, that I help clients all over the Bay Area, and not just in Brentwood. In 2008, 2009 and 2010 I assisted investors in the purchase of about 100 homes at the Contra Costa Court house steps, with buying at the Foreclosure Auction. I assisted in renovating thee homes and listing the homes for resale. During this same time, and extending to 2011, I helped about 125 Sellers move on with their lives by negotiating the Short Sales on their homes, so they could start rebuilding their lives. Many of these Seller’s have become my Buyer clients in the past 10 years. My positive attitude and dedication to customer satisfaction, assisted in all the above builders in maintaining their positions in the top 10 builders in the Bay Area, as voted by the home buyers. I have close to 40 years of experience in all aspects of residential real estate sales and marketing. PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS Prior to moving into the resale end of Real Estate Resale I was recipient of the Platinum Award from the National Sales and Marketing Council for assisting and managing residential escrows totaling 176 million dollars of real estate in a single year. I was awarded the Top 5% -10% Producer Presidents Award in 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010. Currently, out of over 4000 Intero agents nationwide. Approximately 70% of my business is from referrals from previous clients. I truly feel that “Experience Matters”. I have been involved in thousands of transactions. Nothing can replace the experience one learns from the shear volume of transactions I have been a part of. ABOUT ME PERSONALLY I moved to Brentwood in 1999, after 18 years as a resident of San Francisco. I have lived in the same home since 1999, and been with the same Real Estate team since 2007. I have had the same assistant since 2007. I have been a mom to a family of French Bulldogs for 18 years. I think what I am saying is, I am really consistent. I spend quite a bit of time working on keeping my mind and body healthy and fresh. I am happy to say many of my clients, have become my dear friends. I invite you to read my testimonial section, to see what my clients are saying about their experience with me. My positive attitude and dedication to customer satisfaction, assisted in all the above builders in maintaining their positions in the top 10 builders in the Bay Area, as voted by the home buyers. My many years of experience in all aspects of residential real estate sales have assisted both Buyers and Sellers with negotiating a seamless transaction.
