★★★★★"Gina was more than amazing to work with. She was knowledgeable, direct, and prompt. She was always down to go to a showing, whether it was Saturday, Friday at 5pm or in 2 hours. She worked well with our crazy schedule and was always available to answer any and every question. She truly made our first time home-buying process stress free. I would recommend her to anyone and will be returning if we decide to buy another property in the future. Will miss working with her. "
★★★★★"I had a fantastic experience working with Gina from True North Realty as my real estate agent. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly responsive — always answering calls, texts, and emails quickly, even outside normal business hours. Every time I had a question Gina got back to me right away with clear, helpful information. That level of communication made the entire process so much less stressful. I never felt like I was left wondering what was happening next — she kept me updated at every step, from showings to offers to closing. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure you’re informed and comfortable throughout. If you’re looking for an agent who’s responsive, communicative, and truly on top of things, I highly recommend Gina. Five stars!"
The questions we get most.
Do I need to be pre-approved before we look?+
Pre-approval doesn't cost anything and takes about 20 minutes with a good lender. It also lets you write real offers when the right home shows up. We recommend it before the second tour.
How much should I budget for closing costs?+
Plan for roughly 2–3% of the purchase price. Some of it can be negotiated with the seller depending on the market.
Do you charge buyers directly?+
In most transactions the seller's side covers buyer representation. If a specific home requires anything different, you'll know before we tour it.
How fast can we close?+
Cash: 10–14 days. Financed: typically 30–35 days. We map the timeline to your life, not the other way around.
Tell Gina what you're looking for.
Even a rough idea helps — timeline, area, budget, must-haves. Gina follows up personally, typically within an hour.
