Tell Us Your Story

Nerria Howard is very professional and has excellent communication.

She was able to answer any questions we had and if she didn’t know the answers she was able to find out or direct us to where we could get the information. She respected and understood our needs and desires as far as the type of house we wanted and neighborhoods we wanted to be live in. It was a pleasure to work with her. I would absolutely work with her again and I HIGHLY recommend her if you’re looking for a new home.

Claudine was the best person we could have on our side through this home purchase.

Claudine Hodge, I just wanted to send a note of thanks for working so hard for us on the sale of our property.

You made what began as a very stressful time, into an easy experience. Thank you!

C.C. & J.C.

My husband and I began working with John during the summer of 2025.

That year, our family faced many challenges that set us back in our search. John was very accommodating and understanding during this time. We very much appreciated how easy & expedient he was to communicate with on the phone and in email. When we were able to look more intensely again, John responded very quickly to homes we were interested in viewing and getting that arranged. As we got to know John in person for home viewings, it took no time at all for us to trust his expertise as he helped us through this process. If we ever had to do this again in the future, I would absolutely want to reach out to John again and I would wholeheartedly reference him to my closest family and friends. Highly professional, very easy to communicate with. We’re very grateful to have had such a great experience working with John.

Working with Gina Barrera has been nothing short of amazing.

Throughout our entire journey, she was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and supportive. No matter how many questions we had or how big or small the concern was, she was always there with honest advice and guidance that made us feel confident every step of the way. What stood out the most was how much she genuinely cared. We never felt like just another client. She went above and beyond time and time again, always looking out for our best interests and doing whatever she could to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. She truly invested herself in helping our family, and that meant more than we can put into words. Buying and selling a home can be overwhelming, but Gina made it feel manageable from start to finish. We are so grateful for everything she did for us, her professionalism, her dedication, and the kindness she showed throughout the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be by our side, and we’ll always be thankful for everything she did for our family.

Gina and Melissa went above and beyond to help us secure our forever home!

They made sure that we didn’t overpay for the house and that we were appropriately compensated for the repairs that needed to be done. They also helped us sell our old home quickly and at a great price! We are so happy with our new home and would highly recommend Gina and Melissa for the buying and selling process!

MorganMansourian1

From the moment we met Laura Murphy, we knew that her enthusiasm, professionalism, attention to detail, and listening skills meant that she would serve us well.

Well, she did not disappoint! Laura went out of her way on a number of occasions to ensure our experience, and her services, were perfect. Perfect photos, perfect showings, and the right number of high-quality prospective buyers. I could go on and on, but this sums it up: Any seller who appreciates detail, presence, involvement, and experience need look no further than Laura Murphy.

Thomas Rosenberger

Gina was thoughtful and thorough.

It took us about 9 months of looking at different properties to find the right one, but she was patient and supportive the entire time.

When you tell someone.

." gee, they went above and beyond" well getting my house sold was exactly what Josephine Polsinelli did for me. Above and beyond really only touches the surface for the sale of my home. She really worked really hard to make a diamond in the rough shine and show its actual potential. The suggestions she made to me, to make it shine a little better, I did and it did make it shine a little better. I actually left the area and moved to my new house and we spoke on the phone or by text if it was just a check in .Josephine always kept me up to date on what was happening and ideas she had. Everything was on point and the end result was a sale and 2 happy parties involved. I would recommend Josephine Polsinelli to anyone! She actually helped me sell my dads house in 2018. She totally had my interest in mind.

P.H.

We worked with Claudine Hodge to both sell our home and purchase a new one in a competitive market.

She was incredibly professional, optimistic, and provided thoughtful, strategic guidance every step of the way while always looking out for our best interests. When the purchase presented challenges, Claudine proved to be a strong advocate—always available, highly responsive, and committed to seeing things through. Her spot-on advice helped us navigate tough decisions and ultimately led us to a new home we love! We couldn't be more grateful for her support, and we would highly recommend Claudine to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

M.V. & J.V.

Gina was wonderfully kind and professional, along with being very charming and personable.

Gina treated us like family, she put up with and helped me and my family get through selling a family home and had a lot of patience with us despite us having an apparent three stooges act and being new to all of the process, along with recently putting up with multiple family passings. Communication was quick and responsive, and kept us in check when things were both fast and slow going. Ultimately navigating through each process, we got it all said and done with a great deal in the end because of her help. Would definitely recommend Gina 200% to anyone else looking to buy or sell in the area.

Ryan Bergami

We were confident in Gina’s ability to sell our house when we first met.

She was prepared with information on the local market, had relevant data and a strategy to get the house sold within the timeframe we wanted. She listened to our wishes and made sure the plan fit. She was realistic in her staging suggestions, with ideas that improved the marketing without going overboard. Once the house was on the market we were consistently informed of scheduled showings and subsequent feedback. When we had questions or other reasons to communicate, Gina responded quickly. Our house sold within a week and for more than we anticipated. We don’t think that would have happened without Gina’s efforts. Gina also was able to make recommendations for services to get tasks completed such as painting, minor renovations and even moving companies. All of these turned out to be great and saved us money! We highly recommend Gina. We feel very lucky to have had her work with us.

I could not be happier that Gina was my real estate agent.

From the moment I met Gina, I knew she was the perfect person to sell my childhood home. On day one, Gina came prepared with all the information we would need to get our house in top shape to be listed on the market. She was so communicative and never let anything fall through the cracks. When it was time to photograph the house, she turned a simple listing shoot into a video keepsake I’ll cherish forever. Gina knows the market and knows exactly what each person is looking for, whether you’re buying or selling. I’ve already recommended her to everyone I know!

Team Gina and Ryan are the best of the best.

They represented me when it was time to sell my home. They are extremely organized, responsive, honest, and dedicated to meet all your home selling goals. Their execution and presentation were second to none. Within the first day of my home showing I had multiple offers. My home was sold the following day well above asking price. Besides outstanding sales experience they have a wealth of knowledge of navigating the home inspection process and connecting you with local contractors if necessary. Ryan and Gina are a wonderful real estate team and I give them the highest recommendation.
