About Ginger
I began my real estate career in Durango, Colorado before moving to Galena, IL. My family enjoys all that Galena has to offer, including skiing, hiking, and shopping! Professionally, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Education from the University of Toledo and have experience with non-profit fundraising and event planning.
Relationships are the core of my business and because of that, my clients love me and appreciate what I do for them. Real estate combines the best parts of my personality and professional experience. Let's grab coffee so I can hear your story!

Ginger was awesome to work with!!
She listened to what we were looking for and helped us find a vacation getaway home that met our needs.
We put in offers on two other units before being successful on the third offer and Ginger was with us through all of them helping us navigate through all the different phases.
My wife and I highly recommend Ginger to work with for buying or selling any property in the Galena area.

When deciding to sell our house, it was important for us to find a realtor that valued ethics, honesty, and integrity - Ginger demonstrated each of these values in addition to many more! Ginger helped us reach our selling goals, watched over our dog in the process, and truly made us feel like family! I seriously mean it, look no further, Ginger is the best realtor in Illinois! I have nothing but praise for her work.

Ginger will forever be the realtor I recommend to all family and friends when looking for a home in this area. She was, from the start, one of my favorite people. Her professional, yet comforting nature was always a blessing during a stressful time and she was quick to relieve some of that stress.
Ginger is timely, so knowledgeable about the area and the steps to closing, and is still willing to help us out as we navigate this new home and place.
100% recommended!

My husband’s and my experience searching for a second home was top-notch with Ginger. Ginger’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine interest in learning more about what we were looking for are just some of the examples of why it was such a pleasure to work with Ginger. Searching for a home can be a stressful process (especially from across the US!) and Ginger went above and beyond by immediately linking us to listings, sending emails flagging potential properties, and sharing local publications/mailers so we were informed about our decisions. Thank you, Ginger!

Ginger is a wonderful and highly professional realtor that really knows and understands the Galena market. Her top notch level of professionalism, personal quality characteristics, her diligence, attention to detail, and her work ethic of going the extra mile and over and above in terms of diligence and keeping track of all of the nitty gritty details are amazing!!! She is also very highly creative in marketing a property with a well written descriptive listing (that tells a story) and takes the most gorgeous property pictures!!!. My husband and I found Ginger to be so wonderful and pleasant to work with and we cannot thank her enough for all of the fantastic efforts and follow-through she put into selling our land in the Galena Territory (which by the way even closed several weeks earlier than the stated Closing Date in the Contract).
We truly appreciated Ginger's excellent service and every real estate agent needs to be like her!!! She is a 10+++++ in our book!!!!

Ginger Zambrano is an exemplary realtor. The Galena market in 2021 was very competitive and I am exceedingly happy to have had Ginger on my side during the home-buying process. She was very professional, well acquainted with state of the market, and provided detailed and prompt responses via modern platforms. She was also well connected in the community and worked well with my lending and closing partners. Thank you again for all of your help Ginger!

We asked Ginger to come out just to consult with as we were thinking about moving within the next couple years. She gave us great ideas to improve our property, and helped direct us to our next steps. Little did we know that within a week there was already someone interested in our house even though it wasn’t on the market! Long story short, we were able to sell our house (again, not even on the market), find a new house, and move all within like 6 weeks!! The entire time Ginger was on top of every detail and guided us through all the ins and outs. She was always responsive when I emailed or called and would let me know when she would be free so we could chat about contracts or other details. We certainly would not have wanted to handle all that on our own! Strongly recommend her to anyone, and have already given her name to multiple friends who are looking to buy or sell.

Ginger was amazing to work with! She replied quickly, gave us great guidance for the entire process (this was our first time selling a home), and truly cared for our family and situation. It was as if we were her only clients she was so dedicated and responsive. I would absolutely recommend working with her!

We had an excellent experience with our Realtor, Ginger Zambrano. Ginger was so informative, and very proactive in helping us find and obtain our golf villa in the Galena Territory. She was professional, but also made you feel like she was a good friend who had our best interest at heart. We highly recommend you choose Ginger Zambrano as your Realtor for the Galena area.

I have worked with several realtors over the past several years and Ginger is one of the best. We worked together to sell a difficult 38 acre property in the mountains of Colorado. She was always on top of any situation including obtaining an address for said property for better advertising and keeping me informed of any and all situations. Even after Ginger moved to another state, she and her co-partner continuously keep me in the loop. Ginger is a very nice person and will work hard to get the job done. I would recommend her as your realtor.

Ginger’s honesty and integrity is second to none! If she says she’ll do it, you’d better believe she will! You can trust her with your life. 💚

Ginger really exceeded expectations. After looking at the local market by ourselves and spending time driving through the surrounding counties, we started to become discouraged as to the prospects within our price range. Ginger listened to our wish list, got a feel for our taste, and landed us in our dream home. We are more than happy in our new home.

Ginger was GREAT to work with! Ginger went out of her way to give us what we needed. We asked a lot of her in regards to multiple trips to the same properties and she never waivered once at assisting! She always got us just what we needed! Great job Ginger, we appreciate all you did for us to find the "niche" in the Durango market!

From the moment Ginger showed up at the first house we wanted to see she was very helpful and informative. After some financial hiccups we pretty much stopped looking until Ginger reached out about 5 months later to see if we were still interested in moving to the Durango area from Denver. We were. She informed us she had a few houses that meet our criteria. She worked extremely hard all the way through our closing process. Even after closing we had a month and a half till we could move in because of our busy travel life. Ginger took care of the plants the former owner left for us. She also helped us get contact info for electric as well as leads for inexpensive propane. I have and will continue to recommend Ginger for your real estate needs. 5 star professional and a new friend.

I have been so impressed by Ginger's attention to detail, quick reply's and incredible integrity. She has always been available to answer any questions we have had and has walked us through the process of buying a house in a new town, leaving nothing unanswered. It has been an incredible relief knowing that we have someone on our side helping to make this process seamless.

Ginger was so easy to work with. She went out of her way to have showings around my time schedule. She understood what I was looking for and lined up several showings for me. I was able to find what I wanted in one trip. Also due to being over 900 miles from Durango she took care of some of the little things that I was not there to do. Great person and good at her job.

Ginger Zambrano is the best, most capable real estate agent in the south west! She understands all of the legal documents involved and explains them in plain English. She is a go-getter who does her homework! She familiarizes herself with all of the local properties and finds out the answers to any question she can't immediately answer herself. I would STRONGLY recommend her to anybody pursuing the purchase of a new place to live. I'd give her 10 stars if I could! Thank you Ginger, you were great.
