Patrick & Howard

When my husband and I started looking at condos, we realized pretty quick that we were in over our heads and needed some help. Gina came highly recommended from 3 close friends, two of who had recently purchased new homes with Gina as their agent. When we first contacted Gina, we knew right away that she was right for us. She asked all the right questions and spent time getting to know us, our lifestyle and what we were looking for. She also took great care in making sure we understood every step in the process. As first-time buyers we were nervous and admittedly naïve about many things. She made us feel comfortable about asking questions and checking in with her anytime. It seems like the planets simply aligned for us because we found the place we wanted and had our offer accepted within a week. But we know that this is a testament to Gina’s hard work on our behalf, first finding…

As first-time buyers we were nervous and admittedly naïve about many things. She made us feel comfortable about asking questions and checking in with her anytime. It seems like the planets simply aligned for us because we found the place we wanted and had our offer accepted within a week. But we know that this is a testament to Gina’s hard work on our behalf, first finding a place she intuitively knew would be right for us and then putting together a solid offer quickly that the sellers could not turn down. We are so happy in our new home and feel so fortunate to have found Gina. We had heard horror stories from friends about their first time buying a home, but ours was so seamless. With Gina, we truly felt taken care of by someone who had our best interests at heart. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

"I met Gina Covello 2 years ago when she represented a friend with the purchase of his home. I reached out to Gina when the time came to sell my condo in Studio City. Gina gave me wonderful advice on how to get top dollar and my unit sold in one week for over asking while 2 other units in the building stayed on the market. Gina also represented me in the purchase of my new home. Gina was such a pleasure to work with. She responded quickly to my many emails and texts. Selling and buying a home during Covid was not easy but Gina made the process so much less stressful for me. Gina's years of experience and professionalism truly show and I can't think of a better agent to represent me during this entire process. I will be sure to recommend Gina Covello to anyone looking for a real estate professional for either selling or buying a home."

Gina is a master at the art of getting the deal done. We can't say enough wonderful things about her. She is a pleasure to work with, has an insatiable work ethic, is kind, tenacious and a has tremendous amount of experience. She knows how to guide her clients through every challenge that comes with the unpredictable nature of buying and selling homes. In an industry flooded with incompetence and unethical practices, Gina rises above and always manages to fight for her clients with morality and grace. We have bought and sold multiple homes in several different neighborhoods with her and she has brought us a tremendous amount of success every single time. Most recently, she sold our home in 3 DAYS with multiple offers over list while most of our neighbor's homes had been sitting stagnantly with no success. As service vendors, we have also had the unique vantage point of working alongside …

I closed today on my beautiful home thanks to Gina. I wanted to write this review while it is all super fresh in my mind. In the very beginning, I was working with this really, really awful real estate agent (just an order taker) when a friend recommended Gina. She said, "Gina is the only person I would trust buying and selling a home." Work with Gina first and save yourself some stress and headaches. In today's HOT, HOT, HOT market, you need someone who is super skilled, understands the nuances out of the market, and knows how to help you make an offer that will get you the property. That is Gina. For my part, there were a lot of emotional ups and downs in the house buying process and Gina was always extremely patient and more than understanding. Gina even helped me win a bid to a house that I later backed out of and she never gave me a minutes' grief and even understood my concerns. He…

Gina even helped me win a bid to a house that I later backed out of and she never gave me a minutes' grief and even understood my concerns. Here's why I love Gina: She was having an her own open house one Sunday and so she couldn't come with me to see someone else's open house. I called her from my open house and told her "this is the one," and put her on the phone with the listing agent. We talked after and decided what bid amount to put in. We had also learned a key piece of information from the listing agent. He told us he was going to show offers to the owners as they came in and not do multiples. Gina dropped everything, got someone to look after her open house and wrote the offer and submitted it to the agent within one hour before the open house ended. Now that is someone who is really working for you. And at no additional charge you get her no pressure, no drama, super welcoming personality. I feel real lucky that my friend had recommended Gina. And now I am happy to do the same for you.

Gina helped me with purchasing my first condo and she made it sooo easy for me! She helped guide me through everything, got me the best deal and I cannot thank her enough for making the process so streamlined! Thanks Gina!!!

Gina sold my mom’s house within one week and significantly over asking! My husband and I needed to sell my mom’s house which was my childhood home where my mom lived for 46 years. Considering the situation, selling was emotionally daunting and Gina understood that. She was not only our realtor, but also our counselor throughout the process. While this was an older house she appreciated the care my mom put into it over the years. She was thoughtful in terms of what updates to make considering we needed to sell quickly. Gina’s marketing and pricing strategies resulted in multiple offers driving up the sales price well over asking. Gina provided thoughtful advice throughout the process. We were astounded by her professionalism, honesty and easy demeanor. She made the entire process easier and can’t imagine going thru this with any other realtor.

Ruby & Danny

All that I can say is WOW! My husband and I were very impressed with Gina's professionalism, personal attention and knowledge of the real estate market. We understand that the market changes often and a lot and by listening to Gina and understanding how to price our condo to sell was very important. We had a target date of moving to Palm Springs and we hit it. She made sure our home was staged to make a seller feel at home, she held open houses, our home was on multiple websites for great exposures and Gina made sure that every step of the way we were in the loop and felt at ease. We highly recommend Gina Covello...

Michelle I.

Gina is the best in the business! As a first-time home buyer, she was incredibly helpful in our home buying process - we wouldn't have been able to close without her. She's extremely professional, knowledgable and accessible - I would highly recommend her!!

Melissa

Gina is as good as it gets- Had a loan process that was a nightmare, and she was extremely patient and understanding- It was a tough & long process, and anyone else could've made it worse- She was amazing and we are very grateful to have worked with her- She is professional, caring, & meticulous. When one is going through this process, it's so important to like, enjoy, and have confidence in who one's working with- I would certainly recommend Gina with total confidence!

Carmen Arenal

Gina Covello was a pleasure to work with while selling my home this year. Gina was one of three agents I interviewed before selling my home and the only one who definitely thought I could get the asking price I wanted for my house. The other agents I interviewed told me I needed to do extensive renovation and remodeling work if I wanted to get that same price. I am glad I listened to my gut and went with Gina. She was so right...

Anna D.

Gina is professional, communicative, honest, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. She helped us buy and sell our first house and was there every step of the way to explain things, give guidance, listen to our needs and take the time to understand our situation both times. When we decided to sell, we had moved abroad so I was stressed about the complicated situation of trying to sell a house while living internationally. Gina went above and beyond to work with our schedule and even helped us with some house tasks while we were unable to be there. She took care of all the marketing and knew the right price to list it at, which led to a sale way above asking price. I can’t recommend Gina enough!

Layla Payan

Gina was our agent several months ago when we sold our house in Sherman Oaks. She was very professional, experienced and particularly knowledgeable about the L.A. market. She was also up on all the regulations pertaining to California real estate transactions. She treated us like good friends and was always there when we needed her. During the negotiations, she was well mannered and calm, cool and collected. Because of her experience, successful marketing techniques and beautiful photography, we ended up getting more than the asking price for our house. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Gina Covello!

Mary S.

Gina has been my realtor for ten years now and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. In 2009 Gina patiently showed me properties while I narrowed down what I was looking for in my first condo. She taught me how to boil down each listing to what was most important to me and look deeper at HOA health before falling in love with a property. When we found the perfect place, Gina wrote the winning offer among several other interested buyers and was with me every step of the way until closing. I lived there ten years, got married, had two kids and now she helped us sell that condo to move into a house in a new development being built. She got us top dollar on the sale, guiding us to the perfect asking price that had us in escrow less than a week after it was listed. When unexpected hiccups arose, she kept us calm and had solutions ready to go. For our new drea…

When unexpected hiccups arose, she kept us calm and had solutions ready to go. For our new dream house, she helped us move fast on the new house when a price drop made it an unbeatable deal. Gina’s market knowledge and years of experience makes her the ultimate ally and advocate in every transaction. She is full service and has contacts for everything home related. She’s also just a grounded person who is easy to be around. I am genuinely glad to know Gina and she makes the serious business of real estate fun and exciting like it should be.

Josh Weide

Gina is the perfect agent. She crafted an excellent, unconventional strategy to get us the high asking price we wanted. She pre-marketed our home through her mailing list and had 2 offers competing within a week. We never even had to put out a "For Sale" sign, hold an open house, or market through the MLS! Talk about painless! She walked us through everything, enlisted a pro photographer to take magazine-ready photos of our home (which she ended up not using because she sold the home so fast), and made us feel like we had a friend, not just an agent. She even advised us on our next home purchase for which she had no personal stake, and checked in with us repeatedly to make sure it was going well. I can't recommend Gina enough!

Mark B.

Gina was amazing. She helped me find the right house for myself, despite the fact that I am rather picky. She helped me through the process, which can be a bit arcane, even for an attorney like me (albeit I don't do real estate law), and kept me calm and matter of fact despite the fact that we dealt with both overly aggressive and, separately, semi-absent owners. If you are looking for an excellent, knowledgeable, and experienced agent, Gina, is someone you want to talk to.

I can honestly say that you will not find a better realtor, and all around good person, than Gina Covello. I decided to list my home and went with a realtor who had been recommended to me by a friend. This gentleman had the listing for 6 months during which time I saw no strategy. We simply had open houses every weekend except for holiday weekends. He said to me halfway through that we needed to do a big price drop because he was no longer getting calls about the property. When that listing expired, I called Gina. She came in with guns blazing. We hired a stager and did a bit of repainting and Gina was always mindful of my budget. The changes we were able to make were astounding. And there was a strategy and a plan. This was a welcome change for me. While we had a lot of bad luck in that many accepted offers fell out, Gina stayed the course no matter what. She always continued to market …

I never heard from her that no one was calling because she kept doing her job. And she maintained a positive attitude throughout, even when I could not. I’m pleased to say that finally we got the offer that closed. Gina never gave up and at the end delivered a sale that was greater than I could ever have imagined. I’m so grateful to her for sticking with me. Thank you Gina!!!!!

Gina Covello is one class act! From beginning to end, she is professional, thorough, passionate, compassionate and caring. She truly cares about you and your home. Her photographer is beyond amazing, and they work together to present your home in its most flattering light. She comes to the table with a marketing plan and a vision. We sold our home after three showings and no open houses! My husband and I could not have been more pleased with the entire process, and would highly recommend Gina to our family and friends. If you want to sell your home, call Gina. She is amazing!

Mirael

Gina is an amazing realtor and my wife and I cannot say enough good things about her! She really knows her business, inventory, procedures, policies and always follows through. She really made us feel like we were her only clients. Her attention to detail, professionalism and integrity made her a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Natalie Z.

Gina is hands down the best Real Estate Agent with whom I have ever worked. I spent nearly a decade in the mortgage industry, and both of my parents were real estate agents, so I have a considerable amount of experience working with realtors. Three things set Gina apart: 1) Her depth of knowledge about the market and what is required to buy or sell a property; 2) Her creativity in marketing, negotiating and solving issues that come up in a transaction (because they always do!); 3) and lastly but probably most importantly, her ethicalness – Gina puts the interest of her clients first and foremost, period. Trust is key when hiring a real estate agent, as buying or selling a home is quite possibly the largest financial transaction of one’s life. But it is also a very emotional one, since it is your home, not just a house. Working with Gina alleviated so much anxiety. She got us the b…

Sally F

I recommend Gina Covello highly! She is an amazing professional and I would trust any listing to her. Gina represented me as the seller right as we were getting into the 2022 downturn. I was very worried, but Gina took control of the difficult negotiations and made the sale as stress-free as it could have been. Gina was there for every appointment and every open house. I got a great price for my condo, and I am so thankful to Gina for her kindness, competence and skill.

Neal M.

Gina is an absolute real estate Pro! Although I had friends in the business, she came highly recommended and she didn’t disappoint! Her partnership throughout the sale of my house and her attention to every detail, made a stressful time an absolute breeze. Her competitive analysis and marketing prowess, helped me to sell the property quickly, while getting over asking. I highly recommend Gina to help anyone selling or buying a home!

Tony M. & Aaron T.

We interviewed a few agents before Gina walked into our lives. She was the perfect balance of friendly and professional. Gina knew when to hear us out and when she needed to do the talking. She immediately understood we were selling a home, not just a house, and to get the best offer we had to find the right buyer. Every part of her marketing was well thought out and of the highest quality. After a week, we had multiple offers and accepted one over asking price. Gina gets it. Now, go get Gina.

Yael A.

Gina helped us find the home of our dreams! We are so thankful to have found her. She was great at communicating with us, answered all of our many questions, she was very knowledgeable and professional. Gina guided us through the process 100%. She also worked very hard to make buying a home in a very competitive area and market achievable. I would highly recommend Gina to my family and friends!

M. S.

Gina Covello has been my realtor for over 10 years, helping me sell and purchase multiple properties. Gina's extensive background, coupled with tenure and a fine art for negotiating, I've always been beyond satisfied. Gina has assisted me with both home real estate, in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, but also a piece of property in the Santa Barbara area that is dual zoned for agriculture and residential usage. The consummate professional, Gina is kind, honest and a joy to work with. I highly recommend Gina for real estate abilities.

Ali M.

Gina is great! We have been working with her for a few years now, and what we like most about Gina is that she is really good about understanding and staying focused on the clients' needs/goals. She is great at providing input and guidance, and we always feel like she has our best interests in mind. Knows the local area very well too! Super easy to work with!

Evan and Tammie B.

Gina helped our son sell his townhouse in Sherman Oaks after he moved out of state. We met her through a referral from a trusted realtor we know in Colorado. From the beginning, she worked with us in terms of prioritizing worthwhile improvements in the weeks leading up to the listing. We set the price based on her recommendations. Once we vacated the property, Gina did a great job staging the townhouse, including use of furniture that we decided not to move. The photo album for the listing was outstanding. The townhouse was under contract in 8 days and above list price. The process and outcome exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Gina!
