Ginette, l'm just writing to say a huge, big thank you for helping us with our home sale. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your professionalism and your ability to execute. Thank you so much. I adore you. Big big hug.

Laura Z.

I couldn't have been happier with Ginette as our realtor! We were relocating to Long Beach and had decided on a specific community/area and chose Ginette as an expert! She was super responsive, knowledge about the area, and struck the perfect balance between providing guidance and letting us decide. It was a smooth and pleasant experience from start to finish, and Ginette also had lots of local recommendations and ideas for our new home city. Highly recommend!

Tiffany E.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE Selling our home Long Beach with Ginette and Janel was a wonderful experience. They are very professional and had our best interests in mind, each step of the way. Our experience was truly white glove, both on the sale of our Belmont Shore home and the purchase of our Park Estates property. Thanks, ladies, you are the best!!

TRUSTEE

Ginette did a great job selling my Father's house. She made things easy and kept it simple. I would definitely recommend her.

Kevin L.

Trustee

Ginette was a dynamo as she guided us to the successful sale of our family home in Cerritos. All of the things that had to be done happened quickly and competently, to the point I didn't need to worry or supervise at all. My childhood home was a tarnished gem and Ginette polished it up and saw to a sale that exceeded all expectations. She also saw to my gaining an understanding of market factors so that I felt assured of the home's true value. A good real estate agent is vital and I couldn't recommend mine more highly.

TRUST SALE

I became the Successor Trustee to by mother and father-in-law’s estate. Ginette Skelton was referred to me by their lawyer. After interviewing her and other candidates as Realtor® for their home, I along with other family members decided she would best represent the family based on her knowledge of the area, her professionalism, her ideas for best preparing the home for the market, and the services she offered. The task of getting the home ready for market weighed heavily on my mind. With a reverse mortgage on the home things needed to move quickly, but there were many complications including the home being quick deeded out of the trust, home improvements needed to reflect current styles, repairs needed, and a huge number of items left behind that needed to be sold or disposed of. All of this while I was dealing with the multitude of people, organizations, and financial institutions that…

All of this while I was dealing with the multitude of people, organizations, and financial institutions that needed to be contacted/dealt with and very little time in my busy schedule to do so. Ms. Skelton provided referrals to local estate sale companies, painters, flooring experts, plumbers, and everything needed to keep to prep the home for sale. She handled all details such as scheduling appointments, taking estimates, supervising all work, and keeping me informed of all progress along the way. She was instrumental in getting work done for the best price, at a quick pace, and helping the trust realize a much higher profit than expected through the estate company she recommended. The large number of hours she put in coordinating was greatly appreciated, especially since I live at a distance from the home and would have spent countless hours commuting between locations. The suggestions she made for preparing the home for sell raised the selling price $70,000 dollars over what other Realtors® quoted after their recommendations for marketing, with less expense to the trust. Her efforts continued through open house and escrow, helping the home to sell in a timely manner. I also greatly appreciated that Ms. Skelton made herself easily accessible for any questions and worked diligently to make sure the interest of the family was considered at all times. Her warm demeanor makes her easy to approach and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home and would not hesitate to call on her services again.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

I consider myself very lucky to have been referred to Ginette and her partner. As an out-of-area Trustee, selling the family home could not have been handled with more professionalism and dedication. In what could have been a very stressful situation, requiring many, many hours of time and many miles of traveling back and forth, these real estate professionals were always willing to take the extra step to keep me informed and provide me with all of the needed resources, referrals, and information to sell this property for top dollar. I would highly recommend Ginette Skelton for any and all of your real estate service needs. I truly feel they went above and beyond, from handling all of the large details like multiple bids from estate salespeople, painters, handymen, and landscapers to marketing the property aggressively and ultimately a smooth sales transaction and coming in above the ask…

OUT-OF-STATE ADMINISTRATOR

I heartily and without reservation recommend Ginette Skelton for realty services, including probate and estate matters. I had the occasion to retain her services for the disposition of estate-owned real property in Long Beach, California in late 2013. Despite how problems might have arisen due to my location out of state, any such problems were avoided entirely by her sterling service, industry, and excellent communication skills. I found her responsiveness to matters as they arose to be both outstanding and timely. Ms. Skelton offered useful guidance and advice during the sale process and displayed honesty, loyalty, and meticulous organizational skills.

PROBATE SALE SUBJECT TO OVERBIDS

After looking at a ton of homes, as first-time buyers, we needed help and guidance in the process of buying a home and needed some extra insight to understand the legal documents and court proceedings as we choose to bid on and win a Probate sale that was subject to overbid. Ginette made herself available for any questions I had and walked me through the paperwork so I fully understood what we were signing and what the ramifications were of "going to court subject to court confirmation and overbid". She was with us every step of the way, including at the courthouse. She made sure we were comfortable and was always honest in her assessment of the value of properties when we asked. It was a tough market and I decided to buy at that time really paid off. We plan on working with Ginette in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

EXCEPTIONALLY DETAIL-ORIENTED

Ginette Skelton assisted me with a difficult probate sale located in Pico Rivera. She was a very knowledgeable Realtor® and I appreciated her genuine interest, compassion, and desire to help through what we both recognized upfront would not be an ordinary sale, and one that could have ultimately been a trying ordeal. The property was sold quickly and for top dollar. In addition, she managed estate sale services, clean-out, and a tradesman for repairs. The beneficiaries of the estate were also very pleased with her results and regular communication. Throughout the process, Ginette and her team were exceptionally patient, professional, and detail-oriented. Ginette is blessed with a good sense of humor, which was especially appreciated with this transaction. I highly recommend Ginette Skelton if you are thinking of buying or selling real estate.

INVESTMENT PROPRTY

Having dealt with other Realtors® in the area when I bought my house, I didn't have the highest of expectations when I first contacted Ginette with an investment property I own. However, Ginette was totally amazing in helping me in every way. Working with her was efficient, easy, and most important of it all: drama-free. She responded almost instantly to every text no matter what time of the day or night, and only had my best interest in mind when giving advice regarding various issues. She had my best interest at heart, and because I was out of the area she was able to make a difficult process much easier. I have the utmost confidence in her judgment and would not hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family. Ginette is a true professional and knows her stuff. I will definitely be dealing with her in my future real estate needs."

PROVIDED TRULY EXPERT SERVICE

Ginette Skelton provided truly expert service throughout the sale of two residential properties in Long Beach a condominium and a duplex. This was an estate sale for which I am the trustee. Because I don’t reside near the properties, Ginette was my liaison in the community, always willing to be on-site when needed. She was an invaluable resource to me, always taking time to answer my many questions and provide help. She also provided the names and contacts of numerous local businesses that I was able to use for various repairs and services. Throughout, she was cheerful, buoyant, informed and had my best interests and the best interests of the trust at heart. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She was a delight to work with. I feel I’ve found a new friend in Long Beach.

Lois & Tommy S.

COURTS ORDERED SALE

My wife and I are writing to recommend the professional services of Ginette Skelton Realtor®. Ginette became our Realtor® when the courts ordered the sale of the home we jointly owned with family members who were less than willing to sell. We had no prior relationship with Ginette prior to the courts appointing her as our Realtor®. We were both very impressed with Ginette’s thoroughness and professionalism in a very difficult and sometimes hostile situation. We feel very confident in recommending Ginette Skelton to anyone who is in need of a Realtor® as well as a caring person. She was always just a phone call away and was willing to make the time to discuss our concerns and respond to all of our questions. Ginette will be our choice of Real Estate Agent in the future.

Ginette’s manner was always professional. Ginette’s integrity was always impeccable. Ginette’s communications were always clear. Ginette’s service went above and beyond our expectations, consistently. Ginette embraced a complex situation for a client over 2000 miles away and handled it with grace, optimism, and expertise.

OVERCAME CHALLENGES

Ginette Skelton helped my family and I buy a second home in the desert. There were six of us popping in and out of open houses and scheduled appointments in the 100 + degree heat. Ginette made it fun, providing water and snacks and making sure my senior mom and dad were always comfortable. We saw many homes and Ginette was always ready with the important information and valuable tools we needed to make the right decision. In the end, we found a home we all love (no easy task for six people), overcame some challenges, and are very happy with the decision we made to have Ginette Skelton represent us. I would definitely recommend Ginette and would not hesitate to use her again in the future.

Tim T.

HIGHLY LIKELY TO RECOMMEND

Ginette handled the sale of my income property after I had been transferred out of state for a career opportunity. She is very thorough and handled all of the details seamlessly. This included hiring and supervising the painters, handymen, landscapers and plumber as well as coordinating the cleanup and some minor staging. Ginette was completely hands-on. We had a few challenges and Ginette handled them all successfully and with a positive attitude. She had some very creative approaches to finding the right solutions for me. She was a pleasure to work with, never overly aggressive but yet resourceful and firm. I would highly recommend Ginette Skelton, she is an amazing Realtor®.

Elena J.

AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE

Ginette assisted me in purchasing a property for my aunt and her husband, both senior citizens. It was a challenging situation because of the logistics of me being out of state and because of their health issues and language barrier. She went above and beyond by far exceeding my expectations. I found Ginette to be a trusted adviser and invaluable resource under somewhat difficult circumstances. Additionally, I found that Ginette focused on our needs, was always available to answer any questions, and negotiated a great value for the purchase. Overall it was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend Ginette.

James S.

TRUE PROFESSIONAL

Ginette was recommended to our family Trust by our Attorney as an agent who was knowledgeable in the sale of Trust property and would be very helpful in “holding the hand” of a very difficult person. She is a true professional who not only held successfully held the hand of a truly difficult client (should have warned you about her) but went “Above and Beyond the Call of Duty”. Thank you Ginette for helping the Trust receive the best possible net out of this transfer. If you have an exceptionally difficult and testy real estate transaction I would highly recommend Ginette’s service to you. All the Best, JP.

Mallory L.

PROBATE SALE

I have had the pleasure of working with Ginette in the process of selling my late mother's rental property through probate. She was very knowledgeable regarding the complicated process and extremely hands-on. Ginette took the liberty of overseeing the property's repair and remodeling process and for that, I am very thankful. Ginette was very careful yet efficient with her decisions and the advice that she gave me. She was extremely thorough with every step of the selling process and communicated everything very well to me. I highly recommend Ginette to help you list your property, you won't regret it.

Judy K.

NEGOTIATIONS WERE HANDLED BEAUTIFULLY

Ginette handled the sale of my parent’s home, a very special place to our family. She made recommendations to freshen up the space while maintaining the home's character. She was very respectful of the home and of our family’s attachment to it. She had wonderful suggestions for estate sale people who really knew what they were doing. Negotiations were handled beautifully and things were explained thoroughly. She made a difficult situation easy with understanding and skill and found a buyer that loved the house. Our family is very happy and I think my parents would be happy too.

Judy C.

INSIGHTFUL AND PATIENT

I had not met Ginette until it was time to purchase my home in Leisure World. This was a difficult move, and Ginette was very insightful and patient. We just kept looking until I found my home. I never felt rushed and she listened to what I wanted and we stayed the course until we found the house that was right. It was the hottest summer on record and we were looking in over 100-degree heat and we were pretty miserable at times. Ginette was always there at the appointed time and has a great sense of humor. It was a pleasure working with her.

Sylvia Q.

Not only was it difficult losing both parents, but selling their home was even more difficult. Ginette is a blessing in disguise. Her professionalism, sense of humor, and personable approach made this time bearable and easier to handle. Ginette explained the process to me and was true to her word. She kept me in the loop in person and via phone, text, and email throughout the selling process, and escrow. My siblings and I appreciate everything she did. I highly recommend Ginette and will not hesitate to use her services again, when needed.

Vichea C.

VERY PROFESSIONAL OPEN HEART

LONG BEACH TRUST SALE

Ginette was fantastic. She provided sound advice on preparing for the sale, such as having my trust lawyer review all contracts. She also had great ideas on where and how to market/advertise the house in Long Beach to get the best visibility. And she was thoughtful, didn't rush me, and allowed me space and time to think things through. In the end, she did a great job, and got me top dollar for the house in a short period. Thanks, Ginette.
