The Genovese Group
More Service, Less Commission
Navigating Real Estate with Ease
Gina Genovese
My philosophy in every aspect of my business is that every client is different with unique needs and wants. It is my absolute commitment to each client to never lose sight of that. I've heard some of my peers comment, "Don't take it personally, it’s just business", but for me, buying or selling your home is very personal. It is typically the largest investment anyone will ever make and should be treated as such. My job is to guide you through this process as smoothly and professionally as possible.

What are you looking for?
Buying
When working with a buyer, it is most important we have a complete understanding of exactly what each client is looking for. Finding the right property is only part of the process. Buyers also need guidance/assistance in preparing for that purchase.
We assist with everything from finding a lender to negotiating purchase terms, including price, closing date, contingencies, inspections, repair requests, appraisal, closing costs, and troubleshooting as the transaction progresses to closing. There are also numerous financing programs available in today's market, one size does not fit all.
I am a full-time realtor, making me available to my buyers on a very flexible schedule, designed for their convenience.
Selling
Preparation: We can only count on one chance to impress potential buyers. We specialize in making your home the most appealing to the largest number of buyers, including staging and re-design if needed. Complete with professional photos designed to capture the buyer's attention. The mistake we see most often is a seller who spends all of their time and funds making the wrong updates/changes to the home. We will help you avoid costly mistakes. Our motto here is "More Splash than Cash". This can be most beneficial when started even months before you intend to actually list your home.
Communication: We will not just "put a sign in the yard" and wait for that offer. We will report the activity to you on a regular basis. Communication with the seller is key.
Commission: We offer the most competitive rates in the marketplace. Again, our services include staging and photographs, at no extra charge to the seller.

Featured Testimonials
“Gina exceeded mine and my family's expectations in every aspect of the home-buying process! She continually took the time to educate me and my fiance' as we went through each step..”
"Our discussions about properties were open and productive instead of me feeling like I was having a one-sided conversation of an agent trying to tell me what to buy, to try to make a sale."
“She took the time to break it all down and explain things to me every step of the way.”
"She was absolutely remarkable from the start to the finish!"
"If not for Gina I literally would have been too discouraged by the market and given up on the process and been renting again."
"We were confident we were with the right agent through the whole process."
"Her communication with us throughout was also the best we have ever had."
"She did all the things you'd expect in a great realtor. Gina went way above and beyond this though, when she helped us stage our home to sell. She was spot on with all of her advice and helped make the home more presentable."

Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows the area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When you work with a real estate agent, we have access to information that helps make a competitive market analysis (CMA) to determine a home’s value. A CMA evaluates recent home sales in your area, overall market trends, and comparable houses to help come up with an appropriate price for your home.
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. We can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home sitting on the market and one that's sold fast.
