GRO Real Estate 1360 41st Avenue, Capitola, CA 95010

"Gina is trustworthy, responsive and very personable, not to mention extremely knowledgeable about the housing market in her area. Although I no longer live in the Bay Area, I benefit from being on her mailing list --- she shares great home buying / selling tips!"

"Working with Gina was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We had window-shopped a few open houses, and had a few discussions with realtors in the area, but felt in over our heads navigating our first home-buying experience. Despite living here for years as renters, we had no idea how fast homes in Santa Cruz move, and felt like we had no one on the "inside" to help us be prepared when the right opportunity came along. All of the changed when we met Gina. She was patient and understanding with all our questions and made a huge effort to understand what we were comfortable with and where we were looking to buy. Gina also comes with the intro to Char Johanson, who is simply awesome and left no stone unturned in our lending process. When a house finally did come along that was everything we were looking for, Gina's experience and knowledge of the market truly shined. She navigated us through an offer, understanding how to be competitive (even if it scared us a little), and ultimately score our home. I'm certain we would not have been nearly as comfortable or confident in making our offer with any other agent. Since buying, we've kept an eye on the market, and haven't seen an opportunity like our home pop up yet. We're hugely grateful to Gina for making our first home a reality!"

"Sarah Wagner helped my father and I buy two houses in the same year, and she was incredibly sweet and patient! I would absolutely work with her again in the future. Sarah made a stressful process more enjoyable than it might have otherwise been. Thank you, Sarah!!"

"Gina is the absolute best!  She was recommended to me by a friend who heard about a challenging experience I had with a previous transaction that fell through. Gina was thorough and professional and great to work with. Extremely knowledgeable across a wide gamut of properties and their value propositions, whether it be for investment, personal residence, urban, suburban, rural mountain properties... She knows it all! She kept me apprised about available appointments and was ready to pounce as soon as a property came on. Vital in the crazy seller's market that we have going on (2020-2021) and was incredibly flexible with showings - taking video walkthroughs so that I could review properties remotely. She was honest and forthright- no games. After dealing with several other brokers in the area and being disappointed, I was extremely lucky to work with Gina!"

"Gina and Sarah at GRO Real Estate are simply THE BEST. They recently helped my family sell a home in Aptos, CA and we couldn't have asked for better partners in this process. I highly recommend them, especially for these following strengths. Professional. From our first conversation we knew that we were dealing with real pros with a wealth of experience. Gina and Sarah were easy to deal with and were committed to representing the needs and desires of our family. Knowledgeable. Gina and Sarah understand the local market and responsibly guided us through the decision to sell or rent our property. Ultimately we decided to sell and they knew exactly where the market was for our house. Resourceful. Gina and Sarah are flexible and have a deep stable of companies that they have worked with to prepare homes for sale and bring out the best in your property. They can manage the entire process for you or work with you to whatever extent you desire. Responsive. Ultimately, fair and honest communication is at the core of what you look for when trusting someone to help you sell your home. We found we could always trust to get a prompt and thorough response from Gina, Sarah, and their team, which gave us great peace of mind throughout the process."
