Gina is friendly, trustworthy, personable and knowledgable. She knows Ames relestate like the back of her hand! She sold our house quickly, and was available when we had urgent questions.
Gina went above and beyond. We had a weird use case for the property we were selling and Gina was able to navigate that and work with us and the co-op to sell the unit. She was always in touch with us if there was a showing, she worked with the co-op to make sure she was following their rules and to make sure that they knew about the showings as well. When we had an offer she was prompt to let us know and worked to get us the price we were asking.
Mary Trachsel and Les Margolin, Iowa, a seller from Ames, IA
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 Mcandrews understood what kind of house my family was looking for. She made the buying process easy and clear. We a grateful that we helped us through this entire process.
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 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's knowledge of and involvement in the community makes her an excellent source of information. She was able to provide answers before I even knew the right question to ask! Seriously, she provided helpful information about the property, the home, the neighborhood, local homeowner resources, and the process that helped me feel comfortable moving forward with a purchase at this time.
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. She had recently helped at least two sets of friends find their homes, so hearing of these positive personal experiences with her made it an easy choice.
Gina was excellent! Her overall experience and knowledge was exceptional and exactly what I wanted in a realtor.
Kevin Cunningham, Urbandale, a seller from Ames, IA
Gina assisted me in a complicated situation with a lot of moving parts. She did much more than I expected a realtor to do and I would definitely recommend her to others.
It was a pleasure to work with Gina McAndrews on the sale of my home. Gina took the time to understand my situation and developed a plan to meet the main objectives. Throughout the sales process, I always felt confident Gina would manage the sale problem-free!
Gina helped find a house while we were out of state and trying to relocate to Ames. Her communication and understanding were way above and beyond!! She also helped us close early when an issue came up where we couldnt make the scheduled closing. She made everything easy and walked us through the whole process seamlessly. We have a beautiful house that our hearts were set on and will enjoy many wonderful years thanks to Gina!!
We used Gina as our realtor for selling a property and buying. She made both processes simple and easy to understand - and VERY low stress! Gina was easy to communicate with and readily available for any questions or concerns we had. I would happily recommend Gina McAndrews to any buyer or seller!
Gina was extremely helpful in keeping us posted on the market and new listings that fit our requirements. Once we selected a house she provided excellent recommendations on professionals to assist with inspection, insurance, and financing.
We were out of state and 11 hours away. Gina kept us in the loop and made getting all the paperwork signed easy.
Steffen Schmidt. Nevada Iowa, a seller from Nevada, IA
Hire Gina as your agent. Shes patient, smart, and got results! Fast.
Gina was great! In the first weekend of showing we had one offer we were prepared to accept, and in the following week a competing offer that we did finally accept. For us as the sellers, the entire process was hands-off and handled in an efficient and straightforward manner. Very happy customers.
Emily Heaton, Monticello, IL, a seller from Ames, IA
Thanks to Gina McAndrews our house sold over asking price in the first day! She expertly advised us on price, staging, photos, and negotiation. It was a crazy time and she made everything simple from listing to inspection repairs, even helping us find a cleaning crew on move-out day. Gina really listened to us and was never pushy, but she definitely pushed on our behalf. She makes things happen! I highly recommend Gina to friends and family.
Ann Hawkins and Trevor Nelson, a buyer from Ames, IA
Gina is a gem! She truly wants the best for her clients. We trust her and value her opinion. The reality of not having someone like Gina as a realtor hit us hard when we moved out of the MidWest. We thought the realtor had our best interest in mind only to find out much too late that was definitely not the case. This cost us a significant amount of money, time and much frustration. Gina McAndrews is our go to person and we gladly recommend her - Always!
I was making a move from an acreage I wasn't sure I wanted to make. My daughter had previously bought her first home with Gina Mcandrews as her realtor.. My daughter was happy and impressed with all the help Gina gave her. Then my grandson and his family decided to move back to this area. Gina also found them a home and went out of her way to help. When I made my move to this area to be closer to family, as I am older, again Gina was there to help with every detail. I really love my little retirement house. Our family will always use Gina if we want to buy or sell.
Gina had our property sold quickly for more than we had thought we would get! I am happy with Gina.
Jeff Woiwood Des Moines, a seller from Urbandale, IA
Gina worked her tail off when a last minute lien popped up and threatened to derail the whole project. Gina did some fast negotiating with all parties to close on time.
Thanks, Gina, for your time, concern and patience during the entire process of selling my house. It's great to be professional and yet sit with a cup of coffee and have a comfortable conversation. I certainly feel competent to refer you to anyone thinking of putting their property on the market.
Gina McAndrews went above and beyond in the home buying process. I went with her in particular, because a friend and colleague had previously bought a home through Gina and found the process to be smooth. Gina works well to make the entire process transparent and inform the buyers of what the next steps are, provide outline for expected actions through different phases of the process, and has excellent negotiation skills. I was impressed with how responsive and patient she was with us as first-time home buyers.
Gina was quick to get back to me on all matters, which is important when putting a house on the market. She is knowledgeable in what she does and she does it well. Having worked with her a couple of different times, she brings the same level of professionalism and spunk to each interaction. Thank you!
Gina McAndrews was an amazing realtor to work with for the sale of my home. She was prepared and knowledgeable about my house and area. She considered my needs, was easy to communicate with, and kept me informed on the sale progress. Her hard work and smart listing price sold my house in about 36 hours. I would recommend her and Century 21 to anyone interested in buying or selling a home.
Stephanie Shepherd, Boone, IA, a buyer from Boone, IA
Gina McAndrews could not have been better. She was knowledgeable, encouraging, attentive and understanding. Her negotiation skills are top notch and I felt like I had the strongest advocate in my corner. She worked tirelessly on my behalf! She made the extremely stressful process of buying/selling a house much more pleasant. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Every interaction with Gina was wonderful. She was always quick to answer any questions and find out anything I needed her to find out from the previous owners. I was wishy washy on the closing date, and she made it so I could move it up a month. Would definitely choose Gina again!
Ralph and Teresa Rosenberg, Ames, Iowa, a buyer from Ames, IA
Gina is an excellent realtor, hard-working, knowledgeable and thorough. Gina went the extra mile to find us a home in our preferred neighborhood.
Lynn and Rob C., Ames, Iowa, a buyer from Ames, IA
Gina McAndrews has expertly handled three real estate transactions for us in 2019. We appreciate Gina's expertise, knowledge, and positive attitude. Gina always takes the time to listen and understand our needs. From start to finish, Gina's communication and service is outstanding. Gina is responsive and prompt in replying to emails, calls, and messages. Gina is trustworthy, professional, and an absolute delight to work with. We highly recommend Gina McAndrews!
We could not have hoped for a more satisflying experience! Gina McAndrews is knowledgeable, professional and personable in all communications and interactions. She was proactive in identifying appropriate prospective buyers, considerably shortening and easing the selling process for us. This was a great relief since we had already closed on our new home in another state for our impending retirement.
When next we sell a house in Gina's geographical area, we'll use Gina. I can't think of a stronger recommendation than that! Her energy and enthusiasm and can-do attitude were all bonuses on top of her overall excellent real estate expertise. In our case she represented both the buyer and the seller, and I think she handled that dual role with honesty and integrity. She also assisted in locating a staging company which proved quite valuable in the showing of the home.
One challenge in the process was due to our being unavailable for the house closing; Gina and here team made the closing effortless in spite of our absence.
Sue Elbert Ames ,Iowa, a seller from Story City, IA
Gina is the best! She was right there for us whenever we needed her, from helping us out the night before closing finishing packing and cleaning, to the following day with moving into the new house. She was fun to work with has lots of knowledge in the moving business as well as knowing people in the area that
were of help in making our move less stressful. She has stayed in touch even after the move making sure we didnt need anything else! I would recommend Gina to anyone who is in the market of selling or buying a new home in the Ames area!
Thank you, Gina!
We met Gina McAndrews at an Open House when we first started looking at houses in Ames. She was friendly and asked us what we were looking for in a house. Then she forwarded us information about houses we might be interested in looking at. Gina always seemed to listen to what we wanted and was never pushy in making a sell.
Once we found the house we wanted Gina took care of everything in a timely manner for us. Plus she made it easy to work from a distance. Easy to contact with immediate feedback if we did have questions or concerns.
Gina went above and beyond for us. She was always willing to make contacts for us to view homes when we were searching so we could view several houses on one day since we were coming from out of town.
Gina really helped us by recommending an electrician, plumber, and Drywall contractor so we could make other home improvements at our new home. She was always honest in giving us feedback.
Rob and Lynn Comito, Ames, Iowa, a seller from Ames, IA
My husband and I contracted with Gina McAndrews when we bought and sold properties in 2019. It was so nice to have the buying and selling processes expertly managed by a trusted professional. We value and appreciate Ginas services and expertise.
Gina took the time to understand us and that rapport is important. She quickly found our dream house and gently guided us through making decisions in both the buying and selling processes. Gina was responsive and dependable throughout the buying and selling processes and communication was excellent. We always looked forward to our interactions with Gina because of her positive energy. We trust and highly recommend Gina McAndrews.
Gina McAndrews was great to work with. She helped with guidance on prepping our home for sale and in negotiating the sale details. She had a good plan and strategy that showed by the sale of our home in 24 hours. Gina provided a calming influence in what can be a stressful process. Her communications were prompt and provided the information we needed. We highly recommend Gina McAndrews.
Gina worked well with us. She understood our needs and besides finding us the perfect home she guided us through the process efficiently. She is friendly, fun and was great to work with. She is calm which helped us deal with the stresses of what can be an overwhelming process. Gina was prompt in communicating information that we needed. Overall a great experience, we would highly recommend Gina McAndrews.
Gina responded v promptly to all of my questions & concerns with knowledge &respect; showed me the avg price of recently sold homes like mine in my area; gave sage advice on timing & price, but still said shed follow my wishes. She met me on Fri; the next week explained what I needed to do to clean up my property (such as washing windows!) & got pictures taken & put the sign up, then the following Mon listed my home. I had 1offer Mon & another on Tue. I accepted that offer.....SHA-BAM!! Gina McAndrews is v reputable & knowledgeable; shes so friendly, kind, & comfortable to work with; I just cannot say enough! I had begun with another company whose employee was a Dud; slow to respond & I felt that was just so disrespectful! Then I contacted Century 21 for Sharon Nelson who had helped sell me my home years before. Sharon was on leave, but I am so thankful of her because she highly recommended Gina to me. Gina McAndrews is a real Go-Getter!! Now Im in a Sr Retirement home & am so happy!
My coworkers recommended Gina to me when I started to think about buying a house. I had no idea how any of the process worked, and Gina sat down with me and patiently explained the entire process to me in our first meeting together. From that first day until the closing, Gina never made me feel dumb and always patiently and thoroughly answered my questions. I always felt like I was in control of the process. I ended up buying the third house she showed me, but I didn't want to close until five months later. She made sure I was able to work on my timeline and kept in periodic touch with me to make sure I was still feeling good about it at all points. She provided recommendations about other related parties (mortgage loan officer, contractors, etc), who have all been great to work with. I strongly recommend working with Gina to buy your next house!
A+ services. We highly recommend working with Gina! Throughout the entire process of buying a new house, Gina was responsive to our questions and clearly communicated the steps along the way. From start to finish, Gina walked us through the process. She is knowledgeable about the local market, trustworthy, and dependable - and we especially enjoyed her positive energy!
My husband and I were pleased with our buying experience with Gina and Century 21 as a whole. As first-time buyers, there is a lot that we were unaware of, so Gina and the other staff at Century 21 were great at keeping us informed and educated!
Gina McAndrew did a super job selling our home, We had a many of requests and she was able to meet them all, not sure we could have sold it with out her!!!
Denise and Craig Rupp, Ames IA, a buyer from Ames, IA
Gina successfully sold our home when we moved from Ames a few years ago so she was the obvious choice to represent us when we re-entered the Ames market as buyers. We were living out of state and made several trips to Ames on short notice to view new listings. Gina managed our chaotic schedule like a master, and always with a smile and that great sense of humor. Despite our short window of availability, we were able to see multiple properties on each visit. She was patient and cheerful as our search dragged on looking for our perfect home. When we found that house, Gina made it easy for us as out of state buyers. We adore our new home and we adore Gina.
Joan Mirabal Albuquerque, NM, a seller from Ames, IA
Gina Very kind Went above and beyond expectations.
Janine & Daryl Tellinghuisen, Ames, Iowa, a buyer from Ames, IA
We already knew Gina so it seemed natural we would choose her to help us in finding a home.
Gina was knowledgeable and offered suggestions and comments regarding the homes we had considered. We relied heavily on her suggestions when it came to negotiating the price of the home we chose. Had it not been for her, we may not have chosen the home we fell in love with and purchased. Transactions were prompt and smooth. She stayed in contact with us throughout the whole process, never once being overly attentive or pushy.
Gina is a personal friend of ours. We did not hesitate to use her based on our previous personal experience. She maintained a good balance of friendship and professionalism. Never once, was it awkward working with her as a friend or professional. She goes above and beyond for her clients, extending a hand to help move, suggesting resourceful references and being appropriately attentive to our needs and questions. She added an element of joy during the process through her upbeat attitude and humor. She even went so far as to help us clean our home a bit! Anyone looking for a realtor should really give Gina strong consideration.
Thanks Century 21 and Gina! We love our home and wouldn't have considered it without your help and knowledge!
Jo Delle Tustison, 1100 Adams, #117,, a buyer from Ames, IA
Gina went out of her way to help us procure the right place for us to live. We think she is the best realtor in Ames. We highly recommend her as she is always professional and listens to the needs of her client. We feel blessed to call her friend as well as our realtor.
Like i said she got more for it than many thought it would bring.
Steve & Jessica Kroupa. Traverse City,, a seller from Ames, IA
I chose C21SRE because I know you are a company with great agents who know what theyre doing. I also knew that I could rely on all staff and brokers (if needed) for direction, intervention or questions that arose. I chose Gina because she has been a great friend over the years and I knew she would be able to help us accomplish our goal of selling and closing quickly and smoothly.
We were in a time crunch and needed to sell fast. I knew I could trust Gina to tell me what we needed to do and where we needed to be for price. Gina came in with useful advice on prepping for showings. We were a little hesitant to complete the painting she suggested but were grateful we followed her advice... Especially when we had a full price offer after the first showing.
Gina went above and beyond the call of duty as our realtor. She helped us find a great realtor out of state, helped us get items we no longer needed to Overflow, and helped with a few other details that came up after we had moved out of state. She is a genuine and thoughtful person and we consider ourselves lucky to know her.
If we could have had Gina as our realtor in Michigan, we would have! Our realtor here is great, but she, nor her C21 office hold a candle to Gina or C21SRE.
Janine & Daryl Tellinghuisen, a seller from Boone, IA
Gina is a personal friend of ours which made connecting with her easy. Doing business with her as a friend was never awkward. She is a knowledgeable agent that goes above and beyond to help her clients, friend or not. She is personable and answered all of our questions, reassured us when we were doubtful, and gave us hope that we would find something right for us when looking to buy and helped us determine what our house needed to sell. We only considered Gina and we made the right choice as she is now our neighbor!
Gina did a great job of discussing what our house had going for it already and what we should focus on repairing/upgrading.
We under estimated the value of our home, but needed to get out quick. Gina helped us determine a fair price for both us and the buyer.
We couldn't have picked a better person to work with on the sale of our home and purchase of our new one.
We did not realize how stressful the process of selling a home could be. However, Gina was there every step of the way reassuring us through each component and we always knew she had our best interests at heart. Not only did Gina sell our home faster than many homes were being sold in our price point, she helped us negotiate a deal that was best for our family. Despite the inherent potential stress of selling a home, Gina was able to make this process as painless and easy as possible. She marketed well, communicated well and was persistent in every aspect of the selling process. We would recommend Gina to anyone looking to buy or sell in this market!!
We couldnt have asked for a better broker to help us through the process of buying our dream home. Gina completely understood and appreciated what we were looking for and has helped us purchase the home weve been looking for for years. She is smart, knowledgeable about the market and most importantly, compassionate. We would hands down recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy in this market.
She performs at the highest levels on all aspects of the emotional process of buying as well as the professional- business side of buying.
Gina was on top of everything and handled all of the paperwork and necessary components of buying with great communication with us and the sellers.
Gina surpassed all of my expectations of a broker on this process. I will forever be thankful she was with us during this process and cant imagine trying to do it with anyone else!!! In fact, our two year old was so impressed with Gina as well that one week after we moved in she said, this is Ginas house! As much hard work as Gina put in there is a special part of this home that will always be Ginas!
I was dividing a property and didn't realize what all was involved in dividing a property to sell... Gina McAndrews knew everything that needed to be done and was my spokesman through all the meetings that I was not able to attend... Gina McAndrews understood a sensitive situation that was going on in my family and was extremely diligent to help me reach my goals... She was all about helping me in the most convenient way to accomplish my goal to sell my property without any stress... I plan on selling the other part of my property within the next couple years and I already plan on having Gina help me with that as well... Gina's honesty as well as her knowledge compassion and work ethic has made this transaction seamless... Without her ability this could have been a nightmare but she knew exactly what she was doing... In my opinion her commission should be higher than what she received... After my experience working with Gina McAndrews and Century 21 I know I made the best decision I could have made
Jesse and Natalie Randall, Escanaba MI, a seller from Boone, IA
Gina was an exceptionally fun and knowledgeable person to work with. She made the process of selling our house so enjoyable, it was honestly a great experience. Gina had a good handle on the acreage market and we especially appreciated her integrity, direct approach, and easy-going personality! 2018
Ron and Carol Helland, Ames, Iowa, a seller from Ames, IA
Gina made the first contact with us, as she walked in our neighborhood seeking a home such as ours for a buyer. She then met with us several times, had many good ideas for how to improve our property and make it show better. She "hung with us", as it was at least a year and a half before we finally made the decision to sell. She was consistently friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and just did a great job for us. We had several other realtors we know and could have gone with, but Gina was the most helpful, the most involved, the most interested in us.
Mickey Curran, Saint Anthony, a buyer from Saint Anthony, IA
Gina was great to work with and was always on top of things! We highly reccomend her to anyone.
Gina went above and beyond to help us get answers about the property during the purchase process, from arranging and being present during inspections to asking questions of clarification to the seller.
Gina was really easy to work with. We are first time home buyers and she took the time to explain everything to us and make sure we understood. She was easily reachable which I really appreciated. 2018
Buying my first home initially sounded intimidating but with Gina it was a wonderful experience. She was more than eager to show me houses and answer my many questions. Gina was extremely helpful and always quick to respond to emails, calls and texts. I felt informed throughout the whole process. I will be recommending Gina to all my friends and family! 2018
Joe Dinan and Amanda Crawford -madrid, a buyer from Madrid, IA
She did an amazing job and made the whole process so easy! Thanks Gina! 2017
Gina did a great job of finding us house while we were living across the country. Her expertise and availability made it a enjoyable process. I would recommend Gina to to others! 2017
Jo Delle Tustison, Des Moines, IA, a seller from Ames, IA
Gina always answered every question and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I have recommended her to others by name.
2017
Jolita Uthe, Bondurant , a buyer from Bondurant, IA
We had great experience buying our home with Gina Mcandrews. She is knowledgeable, helpful, cheerful and thorough. Always available for questions and any help we needed. Highly recommend! 2017
Gina McAndrews has a unique background and tons of connections in the local community that help get things done with purchase as well as afterwards. She also is willing to talk about other things beside real estate as she has a number of expertises. She stays in touch well, even when away, and responded to all of our last minute requests successfully. And all of our house showings were last minute requests essentially. 2017
Cindy VanGerpen-Henn, Freeland, WA , a seller from Gilbert, IA
We liked Gina McAndrews the moment we met her. It was like having one of our best friends to support us in a important life event! Gina gave us great tips to get the house ready to sell. She loved our house and was excited to share it's uniqueness to potent buyers!! Great realtor and owner a great friend!!! Thanks, Gina!
After meeting Gina at the open house I knew immediately I wanted to work with her. She was timely with her communication and willing to help out in any way she could. I would recommend Gina to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell their home. 2017
Gina was a pleasure to work with, friendly, knowledgeable and straightforward. Thanks to her hard work we got a purchase agreement signed the same night we found the right house, before other bidders could get involved. Gina was always helpful and responsive when we had questions or ran into issues--from house hunting to closing. 2017
Very professional, knowledgeble and helpful person working long hours so that you can reach her per your convenience almost 24/7. Helpet and consulted us at each step, from selection of a house to the closing. Certtainly, an excellent professional. 2017
We first met Gina through other mutual friends, and had interacted with her outside of searching for a house. We knew Gina is a person of integrity, and we felt we could completely trust her -- and that was critical to us. We never felt like she was pushing us in one direction or another, or trying to "sell" us a house, and we always felt she had our best interests and our financial situation at heart.
We weren't quick to decide on a house either -- we worked with Gina over a period of 3+ years -- and Gina never made us feel pressured or rushed. We were just waiting for the right house to come along -- one that worked for us, met our financial needs and our fundamental criteria.
She was always willing to organize visits to houses we were more curious about -- and give us honest feedback about what the realities of owning that house might be. For that honesty, we are grateful -- and again, the fact that we trusted Gina meant her advice always carried a lot of weight.
She never took advantage of that trust -- and as newbies to the house-buying process, Gina was extremely generous with her time and knowledge.
We also credit Gina with encouraging us to push for a lower starting offer ... Being wholly foreign to the house-buying process, and not particularly good at the price-negotiation aspect of business dealings, we really appreciated Gina's advice, and her time negotiating the original purchase price down to where we were hoping it would end up.
We would recommend Gina to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!! 2017
Nathaniel Richardson, Ankeny , a buyer from Ankeny, IA
We were pleased with the service Gina provided. She was patient with us while we were looking for our perfect home. She was knowledgeable and always willing to work around our schedule. 2017
Lynette Grady, Altamont, South Dakota , a seller from Fort Dodge, IA
Gina worked hard and traveled slot of miles to work with potential buyers an zoning commission an my lawyers. She spent a lot of hours on the phone talking with mining companys in surrounding area. She had to deal with unhappy selfish neighbors but thru it all her determination got the job done. 2016
Gina is obviously respected in the real estate community as she was able to find me exactly what I was looking for and helped me negotiate a good deal for both parties. 2016
I recommend Gina to anyone who needs to sell or buy a home. You won't be disappointed. 2016
Melissa Johannes - Zearing, IA, a buyer from Zearing, IA
I had previously been working with another real estate agent. He was looking for a quick sale and not listening to what I wanted. In frustration talking to a co-worker, they recommended Gina. She was awesome. She listened to what I needed, and helped me find the perfect home. She has been a huge blessing from the first meeting. 2016
Dorothy Masinde, Ames, Iowa, a buyer from Ames, IA
From the time that Gina was introduced to me in 2011, she has always sent me information on the houses that meet my criteria and always followed up with me to find out if I am ready to begin the process of purchasing a house. She also cares to find out how I am doing and kept in touch. When I made a decision to buy I house, she was the first person I thought of her and I never hesitated in selecting her because I felt comfortable dealign with her.
GIne did an excellent job in getting me the house I needed, explaining to me what was expected of me, negotiating a good deal for me (the sellers were tough), Gina negotiation hard for me, including working round the clock literary (she negotiated into late at night) to make sure I got a good deal, She did a good job of making sure I was able to identify areas to lay emphasis on when it came to inspections. She showed me houses that I had not even thought were within my financial reach. She was just awesome and O loved working with her.
Very nice person, extremely patient, knowledgeable and what she did not know she sent me to the right person to get my answers, she know everyone in the field and knew exactly where to send me to get what I wanted if she couldn't provide it. 2016
We would, without hesitation, recommend Gina McAndrews. She was fast, thorough, and diligent. We knew she was going to help us get into the best home and get us the best deal.
She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and went over all the complicated paperwork with us patiently. It felt like she was ready at a moment's notice to update signatures, show us a new place, and get offers out.
Gina was amazing. This was our first home-buying experience and it would have been completely overwhelming if she hadn't been there to help us every step of the way. She really knows the area and took the time to understand what we were looking for. She wasn't afraid to tell us no when we found a house that wouldn't have been a good fit. When we found a house we wanted, she got us in to see it the next morning. In fact, that was a hallmark of our experience with her- she put Jimmy Johns to shame in terms of freaky fast delivery. Any time we got off the phone with her we'd have new documents in our email inbox within hours. She patiently answered our every question and helped us understand the complex process. She helped us negotiate and fought for what needed to happen to make the deal go through. She really was an incredible ally for us and we appreciated her knowledge, determination, and patience. She's also just plain nice :) I'd recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in this area! 2015
Gina McAndrews was so helpful in recommending changes to be made before putting my house up for sale. Then and after the inspection she helped get bids for work to be done, opened the door so I didn't need to go back, and seeing that the work was done properly.
She has been so friendly and enjoyable to work with. I am happy to recommend her to anyone selling property. 2015
She was knowledgeable and quick. Our house was never even on the market, she knew buyers looking in the area and got us more than we hoped for. Offers within a day of showing. 2015
Gina did an outstanding job and I would recommend her without reservations. She went above and beyond the normal call of duty. I wanted to live in a particular location and she knocked on every door until she found somebody willing to sell. 2015
Gina McAndrews worked hard to find us the right house, and she's a natural negotiator that helped us get the best price and inspection items! She's honest, direct and works hard and we'd without hesitation recommend Gina McAndrews to everyone interested in either buying or selling!! 2015
Gina was knowledgeable about the area and was considerate about our needs. Gina helped myself and my family find the house that fit our needs. 2015
Silvia R. Cianzio - Ames, Iowa , a buyer from Ames, IA
Gina McAndrews was a wonderful help in locating the house I needed and would like. She was also extremely helpful in trying to find a property that would suit my needs, including the search on her own for properties that were not even for sale. She contacted owners and obtain permissions and agree-ability to sell.
I would strongly recommend Gina Mc Andrews to friends and family. She allows you the time to think thru the process, and decide on your own about the property. In comparing properties she points in detail and discreetly pros-cons of the different options.
Gina McAndrews is polite and correct with seller always looking for the best interest of the buyer (me in this case). In the occasions in which dealings were necessary with another broker (in my case the seller's broker was rude on her demands) she stood up on my best interest, correctly and assertively.
I would definitely recommend Gina McAndrews as a broker to purchase your home. 2015
Gina McAndrews was particularly helpful because she understood us and our needs. From her relationship with our buyers, I think she also takes care to consider the needs of those seeking housing. 2015
Gina is great. She made me feel like I was her only client (even though I know she was helping other clients.) She always made time for me and made me feel like a priority- never put off. The craziest of requests were no issue for Gina and she is down-to-earth and realistic about the home buying process. You are in good hands with Gina. 2015
When we purchased the house, she stayed hours working up offer, prior to leaving to go out of town. Which she delayed to take care of our offer. Gina will go that extra
mile for you !
Gina McAndrews was knowledgeable and patient throughout the entire home buying process. We would not have had such an easy home purchase if Gina was not by our side. I plan to use Gina again the next time we sell/buy a property. Thank you Gina! 2015
