My story, and how it shapes the way I work with you.
Born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Texas, I have called North Carolina home since 2006. With a background in education and experience living and traveling overseas, I have a deep appreciation for connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. My journey in real estate began as a newlywed when I purchased my first "fixer-upper." Since then, I’ve gained extensive experience buying, selling, and renting properties, as well as managing renovation projects. Beyond helping clients navigate the market, I am also a real estate investor myself, giving me unique insight into property values, market trends, and investment opportunities. I pride myself on my attention to detail, strong work ethic, and warm personality, which help put clients at ease. My goal is to ensure that every client feels confident, informed, and well-cared for throughout their home-buying or selling journey. I specialize in helping homeowners showcase their properties to attract the perfect buyer and assist buyers in finding their dream home.
A local guide, with a boutique brokerage's full weight behind them.
Gina pairs deep local knowledge with True North's marketing, technology, and distribution — so clients get concierge-level attention without giving up scale.
How Gina + True North actually market your home.
No cookie-cutter checklists. Every listing gets the same senior-level treatment.
A real comparative market analysis with live absorption data from Canopy MLS — plus an honest range, not a wish price.
Every listing includes pro photography, floor plans, and — where it earns its keep — drone, video walk-throughs, and twilight shots. No 'good enough' iPhone photos.
Your home hits Canopy MLS plus Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com — all with correct data and pro media.
True North's Social Studio generates on-brand posts across Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, plus a targeted email push to our sphere and past-client database.
Gina negotiates with a full brokerage playbook behind them — pricing strategy, inspection response templates, and appraisal defense that a solo agent can't match.
A dedicated coordinator owns your timeline — inspections, appraisal, lender check-ins, closing — so you get updates, not scavenger hunts.
You get a real person on the phone, backed by the entire True North operation.
