Client reviews
What Our Sellers Say
Gina was amazing during the sale of our home. Gina brought in a stager to make our home gorgeous, provided us with meaningful metrics while our home was listed, attended showings frequently to answer potential buyer questions about our neighborhood, and clearly communicated and established expectations during the closing process. Her guidance was sound and I feel like she did above and beyond what I've seen from other realtors when buying and selling a home.
Robin S. · Lago Santa Fe seller
It was a pleasant experience, better than our previous experience with realtors. Very knowledgeable and spot on with pricing and recommendations. Will recommend to family and friends
Keith F. · Seller
Gina is a delight to work with! Very knowledgeable. I've sold many homes, but never had an agent give me as much current information and resources to help with the process. She provided a professional house stager to look at the house and make changes to the decor. Then she provided a professional to take pictures and digital video. I highly recommend her services!
Caroline M. · Seller
Hands down the best experience ever. This was my first time selling a home and Gina made the entire process so easy for me and my children. I love that she was so patient, explained every detail to me along the way, and most importantly, made sure that my teenagers were included in the selling process of our home.
Hayley M. · Seller
The Holstiens are in a class by themselves. As a builder for nearly 20 years, I’ve dealt with hundreds of realtors on over 1000 closings and I can’t think of a group I’d want to work with over Gina!
