“We selected Gina and Carrie more or less randomly from the agency's website, and we hit the jackpot. We live in Iowa City, so we needed an agent who was familiar with the Ames market and could keep us informed of developments from a distance. Carrie returned my initial phone call within minutes, and throughout the process of putting our house on the market, communication with Carrie and Gina through phone, text and email was reliable and effective. Especially helpful were their recommendations of local businesses and individuals who could help us get the property in shape to sell. We also came to really appreciate Carrie's and Gina's knowledge of the market and connections with potential buyers. We were delighted when buyers from out of state made an offer on the house almost as soon as it went on the market. Both Carrie and Gina had a clear sense of what we wanted for ourselves and for the property, and they found us a perfect buyer and a satisfactory price quickly. Carrie and Gina smoothly facilitated financial negotiations between us and the buyers, and the entire process was not just painless, it was pleasant. Carrie and Gina are personable, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. It was a pleasure to work with them. A good illustration of Gina's care for us as clients is that she supplied water to our dog who was waiting in the car while we signed the closing papers.”
-
“Gina has been buying/selling houses within our friend group in Ames for years.

“Did a good job”
-
“I first starting working with Gina Mcandrews when she sold my mother's house. She was so compassionate working with me understanding that I was emotionally attached to this house. She understood my situation and was patient while I worked through the emotions. She was not only a realtor but became a friend. Since that time we have purchased two more houses with Gina's assistance. Each time we were buying with special circumstances. The first house was a relocation through the DOT so there was extra work on her part to coordinate with our relocator. The second purchase was a home for a person with special needs. Once again, she was very helpful and understood our situation. We are appreciative of Gina's knowledge and experience. If we are in need of purchasing property again, we would definitely contact Gina.”

“Gina McAndrews worked with my husband and me over a long period of time to find just the right house. She was patient throughout the process, even when we changed our minds about what we wanted in a house and in what areas we were willing to look. We would recommend Gina for her extensive knowledge of the community, even down to the owner history of individual houses. She helped us find the right house and was an excellent resource for vendors to help us get established (painters, lawn care, etc.). She was a pleasure to work with.”

“There was a local knowledge and understanding of our desires in a home that made Gina a comfortable fit. She was casual while being attentive and informative, which is comforting to me.
