She's been a licensed REALTOR® in Florida since 1995 in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. Her career in real estate started by selling on site new, high end, custom homes for Arthur Rutenberg Homes, in communities such as Lakewood Ranch, River Club and Tara Golf & Country Club.

In 2013, Gina decided to leave the world of "team real estate" and she went back to running her business solo! Her primary focus of business is to assist her past clientele and personal referrals. She prefers offering a more boutique style of real estate with an emphasis on providing buyers and sellers with close personal attention.

She services both east Manatee and Sarasota County as well as all the keys...Longboat Key, Lido Key, Siesta Key, Anna Maria Island, Bradenton & Holmes Beach. Anywhere you want to be!

She has an enthusiastic, honest, fresh approach to her business! She prides herself in her strong attention to details and the ability to listen to her client's needs and Real Estate goals. Her many years of experience, knowledge of today's changing market and strong negotiating skills are just a few of her strongest assets. She is very dedicated, hardworking and loyal! Whether you are buying or selling, her goal is to make each transaction as seamless and stress free as possible and maybe even a little fun along the way! When working with Gina, she will always look out for your best interests!
