8/6/26Deborah McLaughlin
Working with Gina Shad was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She is the consummate professional—knowledgeable, responsive, and committed to providing outstanding service every step of the way.
What impressed us most was her integrity. She consistently offered honest, thoughtful advice and always put our best interests first. We never felt pressured; instead, we felt informed, supported, and confident in every decision because we knew we could trust her guidance.
She also has outstanding business acumen. Her understanding of the market, attention to detail, and strategic approach made the entire process smooth and successful. She anticipated potential challenges, communicated clearly, and handled every aspect with confidence and expertise.
If you're looking for a realtor who combines professionalism, strong ethics, and exceptional business savvy, we highly recommend Gina Shad. She exceeded our expectations, and we wouldn't hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to family and friends. Mederic and Deborah McLaughlin

I tied to sell my house by owner, which almost did. Fortunately the contract fell through for a myriad of reasons. I say fortunately because a trustred friend encouraged me to reach out to Gina. Gina delieved, she sold the house for 100k more than I sold it for. Gina is amazing to work with, she does what she says she' going to do!

Absolutely adore this woman! I’ve worked with Gina on two separate real estate transactions, including the sale of my home in Gurnee, and both experiences were exceptional. She is wildly consistent and thoughtful! She always has her ear to the ground, which gives her a strong command of the local market and how to move within it.
What initially drew me to Gina was her clear business strategy. She doesn’t approach real estate as something surface-level or purely aesthetic. She brings real market intelligence into the process. From pricing strategy and understanding comparables in the area to reading inventory and market momentum, she has a very grounded sense of how value is actually built and positioned.
Throughout the entire process, I felt well taken care of and, just as importantly, well advised. Gina is sharp, articulate, and quick to respond. She also surrounds herself with a team that reflects that same level of care and professionalism, which made everything feel seamless from start to finish.
She’s someone I continue to trust as I move through future buying and selling decisions.
