We had received a high recommendation from a family member who has worked with Gina in the past. She was very knowledgeable about the market, listened to our needs, was flexible with us as we were looking and buying from out of state, and ultimately found us an amazing house perfect for us and our growing family.

Coming from a small town I wasn't sure what to expect, but Gina definitely exceeded expectations! She was obviously busy but always offered friendly service and responded quickly to calls and texts! She even went to bat for us on a holiday weekend to make sure our deal succeeded. We will be calling her for future purchases!

Gina Swanson and Taylor Hird helped us find and buy our first home. We reached out to Gina after having spent considerable time looking, having made several offers that didn't work out, and having experienced great difficulty in finding the right thing. Gina represented a seller who refurbishes homes we were interested in, so we had hoped she would be a good fit. She quickly introduced us to Taylor on her team, and the two did not disappoint.

Taylor spent a considerable amount of time with us in the evenings going to see homes and helping us figure out what exactly we wanted. Once we had a better idea of what we were truly looking for, the two of them quickly helped us find it. 2021 was a very challenging time to buy a home, so Gina and Taylor sent targeted letters to neighborhoods we had identified and found something that was about to go on the market and that fit what we were looking for perfectly. The sellers had an interest in selling pre-listing, and we loved the home and had an interest in avoiding more bidding wars, waiving appraisals, etc... and what a match. Still can't believe they found our house for us under these market circumstances, and they put in an admirable amount of work and effort to make it happen.

Throughout the negotiation and contracting process, Gina and Taylor spent time with us making sure we understood the process and helped us effectively work through back and forth with the sellers to reach a mutually favorable result for all involved. The team is incredibly patient and caring, and we feel so fortunate to have found them and worked with them.

Gina and Taylor have a deep knowledge of the Des Moines housing market, and both of them put in considerable effort to help our family, something for which we are very grateful. They are both consummate professionals, and we would highly recommend either/both of them. If we ever sell our home, we'll go with them, and have already mentioned them to several friends and will continue to do so.

Nothing but good things to say. They'll work hard for you and get the job done.

She is highly in tune with the local market and has great resources for her clients to quickly, easily, and confidently buy and sell properties. She genuinely cares for her clients and we feel fortunate to have her in our corner. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering buying or selling. She's the gold standard!

Gina is amazing! Between us and our family we've bought/sold four homes. I would pick her everyday of the week. She takes the time to get to know you and what you're really looking for - both in buying a home and how you want the experience of selling a home to be. She challenges you to think differently without being pushy or over the top. Gina also has an amazing team. We knew we were in good hands from start to finish. Work with Gina! You won't regret it!

We have worked with Gina several times in the past years and are always pleased. She is a joy to work with and so knowledgeable when it comes to investment properties.

We never had any difficulty in communicating with Gina, she is always quick to respond when we had questions.

Gina's sales experience is what lead us to refer our 2 daughters to her when it came time for them to purchase investment properties.

Gina Swanson is amazing! She helped us purchase our home 6 years ago and carefully walked us step by step through the process. So when a new job required us to make a quick relocation out of state, we had absolutely no hesitation reaching out to her again to sell. I know Gina is a busy agent, but she was so responsive and thorough that we felt like we were her only clients. This was so important to us because we were now a busy family of five and very, very soon family of six! She definitely understood our needs. It was imperative we sold our home quickly, and she wasted no time giving us advice to get it ready and then getting it on the market within about a week of first contacting her. With her guidance, within about 24 hours of putting it on the market we got multiple offers all above list price! She and her team were also so instrumental in making sure inspections, appraisal, and closing went seemlessly, especially since we were back and forth between states. We continue to hold Gina and her team in the highest regard and recommend her without hesitation!

When we sold our house, a neighbor commented that we could have made more had we not gone with a real estate agent. However, we feel that the stress and paperwork and scheduling avoided by hiring a quality realtor was worth the price. We bought the house with Gina and her team's help, and we moved to a new home with their help again. She is patient, thoughtful, understanding, punctual, responsive, and hires people with the same values. More than other realtors, we felt she listened to what we wanted and took our needs seriously. We knew we were picky and we really appreciated having someone to help us who made time for the touch decisions while acting fast when necessary.

We're in a crazy market right now, but Gina made sure that I didn't pay an exorbitant amount. And the house assessed for signficantly higher than our offer. As a first-time homebuyer, her guidance was critical.

Gina came highly recommended from a friend and after meeting her I knew she was the perfect person to help me find a home. She asked what I wanted in a home and advocated for me throughout the entire buying process. I knew from start to finish I was in the best hands having Gina as my realtor!!!

Joey Lyons, Des Moines, | Buyer Rating
May 2021

Gina was far and away the best realtor I could've asked to work with. She ensured that everything moved forward smoothly and efficiently. One of the things I appreciated most was that she consistently advocated for me as a buyer. We had trouble getting the inspection completed as the power/water was not on the first time around. She coordinated with the sellers agent to get the problem fixed as quickly as possible. When the inspection company said they couldn't complete the sewer scope because of an obstruction, she insisted they come back and make a more thorough attempt. They knew to respect her request. They still couldn't get it done, so she worked with me to get the seller to have Smiths come out and scope the sewer properly. There were a couple problems like this, but with Gina leading our effort, they came and went. I've been in the house for half a year now, and I couldn't be happier with our deal. During this time, Gina has sent cards, Christmas ornaments, postcards, tax documents, and friendly notes just to check and see how things are going with me and my family. She is one of a kind, and I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell!

We have enjoyed working with Gina twice as we sold our current home to build new ones. We would refer her in a heartbeat to others considering a move. Gina is empathetic, genuine, and thoughtful. She was supportive of (what surely seemed like a crazy idea) to build a new house next door and worked alongside us as we negotiated and tweaked plans for our custom home. Gina is always responsive, quick to answer questions, and happy to give insight from her perspective. She made everything as smooth and easy as possible!

Tops! Tops! Tops!

Gina had a potential buyer for my house before the make-over paint dried! And her client made an offer, at a price over what other realtors were recommending I list! Gina is thoroughly knowledgeable about the market and all neighborhoods in Des Moines, and she listened to my needs with regard to timeline and finances. She and her team kept the transaction moving, day and night. She knew it was important for me to sell and get to closing quickly, as I needed to relocate out of state for a new position. I only wish Gina were in my new city! Highly recommend the Gina Swanson team.

The last house I flipped had every kind of problem come up. It had a cloudy title, lost abstract and a buyer walked .

. She located my abstract , got me a lawn care guy , and an electrician to do the work , found me a new buyer at a higher price and got the garage door fixed the night before closing .

.

I recommend her to anyone wanting a good negotiator, and an experienced realtor who can walk you through lots of fires and not let you get burned .

Gina Swanson is simply the best. She has helped us buy and sell a home in Iowa and both experiences have been outstanding. Her expert advice and unsurpassed dedication takes the stress out of the whole process.

With the most recent sale of our home in Des Moines, Gina handled everything because we were out of town. She went above and beyond to help us get the house on the market. She knew just what our home needed to ensure it hit the market looking its best. We followed every recommendation, and we were thrilled at how quickly it sold.

I have worked with other realtors in the past, and have had to buy and sell a couple of homes in my day. However, I can happily say, without hesitation, that Gina Swanson is a five-star realtor. Her high level of experience, honesty, and integrity makes it easy to recommend Gina to anyone buying or selling a home in the greater Des Moines area.

Gina is wonderful! She was thorough, friendly and communicative - as was the rest of her team. She took the time to understand our needs and what we were trying to do (which wasn't easy or straight forward!). She helped us sell my home and buy a new one - all while merging two households. My 3rd floor attic walk-up wasn't easy to sell, but she stuck it out with me and helped keep me on track with the paperwork, fixes, and moving. I will definitely work with Gina again - just not too soon. We're still unpacking!

I have recommended Gina and her team to family who are moving here from out of state. She's been a great resource for them as well as they start their home search.

Lisa Fernandez, Pittsbur | Seller Rating

Gina was recommended to us by a neighbor and we could not have been happier. Not only was she very knowledgeable, but she went out of her way to make the selling experience as seamless as possible. We were moving our mother out of state to live by us, and she took all the stress of the sale off so we were able to focus on the other side of things for the move, and also coordinated everything with our schedule when we were in town. 10 out of 10!!!

We first worked with Gina in 2015 when we were buying our first home. She wanted to meet personally and from there she was able to develop a portfolio of homes based on our interests and wants. By doing this, our home selection was done fast because she knew what we wanted and what we could do to the home to make it our own. 5 years later she still knew what we were looking for and knew that we would be contacting her because of the growth of our family. The day that we put our house on the market, we were able to post, sell, offer and buy a new home all within 12 hours!! She was fantastic when working with other agents because she puts her clients first because she has that personal but yet professional relationship. We highly recommend Gina to anyone buying or selling their home. She is a "no nonsense" agent meaning that she will do whatever it takes to make sure that her clients are satisfied.

We couldn't imagine working with anyone else but Gina and we will never have another agent besides her because of her abilities to have that relationship with us.

Gina is an excellent listener - she really got to know me and my needs and wants. I am probably the second most annoying buyer in the world, because I ask so many questions and push for what I want... like all the time, but Gina handled me exactly the way I need. I will use her again in a heartbeat. She is an excellent realtor and if you interact with Gina, you know exactly why she is absolutely one of the best realtors around.

We met Gina Swanson at an open house she was hosting in Waukee. We were not actively looking for a new home at the time, but she still went out of her way to learn a little bit about us what our timeline looked like. We were very impressed that she took the time to follow up later to offer her services, despite the fact we didn't currently live in one of the immediate suburbs of Des Moines.

She had our backs the entire way from listing our old home and closing on our new home in Waukee, and was very helpful and informative throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an active and engaging realtor that will prioritize your wants and needs from start to finish!

I had worked with Gina previously and she did such a great job for me that when I began to think about moving again I didn't even consider going through a different agent. Gina was extremely patient with me as I prepared and looked for the perfect place. When I was finally ready to sell my house and purchase another, she went out of her way to answer all my questions and line up resources for me.

Every time I had a question, Gina got back to me right away with the answers I needed. I would definitely recommend Gina to anyone looking to buy or sell.

We spoke with several realtors in our journey to buy a new home and sell our current home. We found several people who were certainly willing to jump in and do the job but never really found the right person for us until we met Gina Swanson. Gina listened to what we wanted and helped us take charge of our search. She found us the home that was perfect for our needs and handled all of the details professionally and in a timely manner. Gina's professionalism really paid off on the sale of our existing home when a major roadblock was discovered on another realtor's sale that affected our closing. When the other realtor failed to perform Gina stepped in and solved the problems that the other realtor couldn't solve and closed our deal. Hats off to Gina!

Gina was so professional and knowledgeable with the sale of my home. She priced it right and it sold within one week. She was always prompt and courteous in getting back to me with my many questions. She made a stressful situation much easier for me and I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

Gina helped us profit enough to put 20 % down, seamlessly managed a minor bidding war, and priced us perfectly to sell same day as listing! She was the perfect realtor. She is down to earth, efficient and thorough, super friendly, and the kind of person you want to go grab a drink with after to celebrate!

Gina as Ashley were great. Gina met with us first to talk about the kind of house we were looking and get to know what we like. It was very helpful as she was very honest with our expectations and directed us to the right direction. Also, they were very proactive in looking for the house we wanted and not just looking what was available in the market. They were always patient and helpful along the way, negotiation and closing.

Gina provided exceptional guidance throughout the home-purchasing process. She was prompt and clear with all communication, advocated well on our behalf, and listened and responded to each of our concerns with kindness and honesty. She is deeply connected to the community and has a strong base of connections for a variety of not only home-purchasing needs, but home-owning services in a range of prices. However, most impressive is that she continues to be a support system AFTER purchasing the home--she has answered several additional questions and continues to share her contacts and knowledge on our behalf. We could not ask for a better realtor and we will recommend her to any family, friends, and connect with her again for our next move.

As first-time homebuyers, we relied heavily on Gina's expertise. We loved her open and honest approach, and truly felt like we had an advocate with our best interests in mind every step of the way. When it came to closing day, we not only felt confident in our financial investment, but were so excited to have the perfect place to call home. Gina is patient, honest, knowledgeable, and an absolute dream to work with.

Gina Swanson was referred to us by a family member and now I know why! She was very patient with us as we looked at a ridiculous number of houses, and changed our search criteria along the way. We had some specific needs that Gina kept in mind when recommending certain houses and/or areas of town. She was always positive and respectful, never making us feel like we were wasting her time or taking too long to make a decision. She was very open to working with us on negotiating prices, and in the end helped us find just the right fit for our family.

If you need someone who will accommodate you, be both friendly and professional, and show genuine care for you during the stressful home buying process, Gina would be a strong choice.

Gina did an incredible job from start to finish during our 9 month build process. From guiding us through the extremely complex process of selecting a builder, to negotiating the ageeements, selecting our finishes, and handling many issues along the way, Gina was always there to lend a hand or ear. The expertise that she brings to the table coupled with her drive to create a customer first experience for the client is differentiator. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Gina and would absolutely recommend her to others.

Gina took us on knowing that we had a deadline of finding a home in just a couple weeks. She was confident, caring, and very communicative. We were able to trust her assessment of homes based on our needs. She sent us listings frequently and was very open to looking at what we found on our own as well. We were always able to make an appointment to see a home within 24 hours and often much less. When it came time to negotiate, she was an excellent advocate for us and worked hard on our behalf. She succeeded too! We love the home we are in, and we would recommend Gina's professional services many times over!

Gina was fun and personable and made the buying/selling process a great experience. She was task-oriented when needed and used her contacts in the area to facilitate required steps such as inspections, repairs, painting, etc. She was professional but yet made us feel like she was on "our team" so to speak going through the process right along with us. I would highly recommend her to others looking to sell or buy a home.

Gina is confident, persistent and professional. We ran into several potential setbacks and Gina pushed right through, involving the right people at the right times to ensure we would close on time, not only with the sale of our home but the purchase of another. Gina provided excellent guidance on when to list, how to stage the home and we received multiple offers in a very short amount of time. All offers were explained in a comprehensive fashion and detail. Gina ALWAYS kept us informed and truly acted as a project manager throughout the sale/purchase process.... Right down to the moving truck and even dinner plans for moving day! We finished unloading and suddenly had dinner delivered to our new home! With Gina as your real estate pro, you'll get peace of mind, a great negotiator, market exposure and follow through like no other. As long as she is available I'll never use another realtor, and I'm a fairly tough customer on most days.

Gina was so great and made my first home buying experience stress free. She was so responsive while I was searching. Her knowledge of older homes and the areas I was looking in was super helpful in identifying big problems I would not have seen. She always got me into houses I wanted to see and once I found the house, she moved fast to get my offer in and accepted. All during the closing she answered questions, recommended excellent service people, and in general talked me through the process.

I will be recommending her to anyone I know looking to buy a home!

After working with a realtor for several months without luck, I asked a friend for a recommendation and Gina started helping me. She understood what I was looking for and how little time I had to look at homes, and instantly became my advocate. Communicating with her was easy and fast. It only took 2 weeks to find my dream home, in the area I wanted to live, and in the price range I wanted. She helped me through the entire process, and had answers and resources very quickly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home!

I have no other experience with Century 21 other than Gina, who not only helped us purchase our first ever house, but then helped us turn around and sell it when family needs rose necessitating a quick move. She helped us find a new home then turn around and sell the home we'd just purchased which was a stressful ordeal to say the least. Gina was there every step of the way, and honestly through all of our interactions, she got to know our family and honestly cared about us. I know that's not always important when you're doing business with someone, but the fact that she took the time to understand who we were and what we needed - that is something she did because she wanted to, and not because she felt she had to. We love Gina, and I for one am thankful she's in our lives. I wouldn't recommend another realtor so long as she's in this business.

Natasha Drake, Des Moine | Buyer Rating
February 2018

When selecting a realtor, it was important for me to have someone who was personally relatable and conveyed a strong sense of being "on my side" versus simply being the broker for a transaction. After meeting Gina the previous year, she took me on as a client last minute for a FSBO purchase. With less than a day's notice, she joined me at my first showing and stayed by my side through the long process.

Working with Gina felt more like collaborating with a friend than just a realtor. I will be recommending her to anyone I know looking for or selling a home in the Des Moines area. Everyone deserves a realtor like Gina!

Gina Swanson was recommended to me by my insurance agent. My mother passed away recently and I needed to clean out, clean up, and sell the house. The cleaning up and out was a slow since I lived 40 minutes away. But once I contacted Gina, the process sped up a lot.

She recommended what to do and, maybe more importantly, what not to do in getting the house ready. I did a lot of cleaning, a little painting, and some easy upgrades. She recommended a flooring installer who did a great job in the kitchen. And then we put the house on the market. After that I had to do nothing.

Her target price was right on the nose. We got multiple offers the first day. We evaluated each offer and picked the best one. The inspections and closing went just as planned. She sent me status notifications frequently throughout the process.

Gina was very engaged in helping get the house ready for the market and getting it listed and seen. I would strongly recommend her to friends or family.

Gina's attention to detail and communication is always great--she's available when we need her and great at keeping us in the loop.

We were looking for a family home in advance of our upcoming relocation and decided we were likely going to end up buying something sight unseen. Gina made that process a lot easier by working with multiple family members in town to get opinions and making sure that she communicated all the positives and negatives of properties we "saw" (thank goodness for Facetime!) since we weren't there to discover quirks and ask questions on our own. I would not trust just anyone to handle that situation for us, but had absolutely no worries since we had worked with Gina on a previous buy.

We're so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with her over the last year and can't recommend her highly enough!

A trusted longtime friend referred Gina. My friend nor Gina didn't disappoint!

As a first time homebuyer, Gina helped me keep perspective and got me everything I wanted! Once I found my home and made the offer her guidance made the process incredibly smooth! She did a great job in this area.

Gina was incredibly patient and caring. Over ten months(!) she helped me really get to know and understand the inventory across several price ranges and neighborhoods. Ultimately I bought in a neighborhood that she had originally suggested after our initial consult! Her insight and appropriately direct feedback helped me find the perfect spot!! I've recommended her to friends of mine who will soon be house hunting.

Gina did a great job of simplifying the process without trivializing how significant this transaction was to me. She represented Century 21 very well.

Over the course of my home hunting she met friends and family of mine - they were all impressed! As was I.

Beings that we were first time home buyers, we were nervous on what to expect. After meeting Gina for the first time at Carribou Coffee, I left with a great first impression that she was definitely going to take care of us. She gave a personalized binder with the information we needed to have to purchase a home as well as homes that fit our interests. She was already doing her homework before we met! What caught my attention about her was her caring heart for her clients. She treated us as if we were her family. We gained so much trust in Gina and believed that she would deliver the best house possible for us. Once we were able to locate our first home, she was prompt on getting items to us so we were able to make this process easy. While talking with family and friends, I could not stop talking about how awesome our realtor was and how she needs to help others find their first homes or new homes.

For me it was how on top of everything Gina was in our process from the inspection, appraisal, bank communication and provided us updates and pertinent questions. I never had a moment where I felt I lost control or didn't understand where things were at.

I have purchased several homes elsewhere however the area, schools, neighborhoods were all new to us this time and Gina injected her knowledge where we needed it or were curious.

Ultimately, there were a few unforeseen hiccups along the way where I really learned the need and great benefit it was to have an agent that was on top of things and used her expertise to ease any worry we may have had and continue our smooth transitions.

Even after the sale Gina has continued to become an asset. Thank you so much Gina we would highly recommend your services!

Gina Swanson is an excellent real estate agent and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

In the beginning of the process she prepared a very informative portfolio demonstrating how she would market our property. It included helpful information about selecting a realtor, what she would do to represent us if we were to select her, examples of possible proceeds from the sale of our home, etc. She was well-spoken, well prepared and very thorough!

Gina is extremely professional, polite and knowledgeable about various aspects of her job. She helped us with MANY things throughout selling our home, such as helping us find a company to do our pest inspection, an electrician to ground our gas line, etc. She also has a knack for thinking outside the box when tricky or unique situations arise. She's quick to propose solutions to issues as they come up which helped alleviate any stress or anxiety for us as sellers.

Gina was also very prompt will all communications and information. She did a great job of keeping us informed every step of the way. We were first time home sellers with some apprehension and many questions about the process. Gina quickly earned our trust and was quick to answer any and all questions throughout the process. She was very good about communicating with us about showings, offers, our property inspection, etc. She also went out her way to bring closing documents to us at our convenience as well as our proceeds check immediately after closing.

Gina is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and we felt she did a great job helping us price our home which in turn brought several showings and multiple offers. We are very happy we chose her to be our agent and we will absolutely recommend her to friends and family!

Gina Swanson was fantastic and did all the leg work for us. It was great because I work 55 hours a week and it was nice that she handled everything. I will be happy to refer Gina to all friends and family that may be planning to move. She is easy to get along with and becomes your friend by the end of the process. She is available at all hours, day or night, and responds in a very timely fashion. Century 21 better keep Gina around, she is a great asset to the company!

Gina was everything we could have asked for in a realtor and more. This was our first time buying a home together and she helped walk us through the process step-by-step. Gina was patient and thorough in helping us first narrow down what we really wanted and then strived to help us find the home we were meant to grow our family in. She was encouraging without being pushy, yet honest with the pros and cons of each house. When we were finally ready to make an offer, she worked tirelessly to make it happen (even late on a Saturday night!). We looked at many, many houses, but Gina would not rest until we found just the right one. We are so appreciate of her time, effort, and expertise!

My husband and I cannot speak more highly of Gina. We meet her at an open house just days before my due date. While we weren't interested in that house, we found a gem in Gina and asked her to be our buyer's agent. She was easy to communicate with and did an excellent job of finding out what we wanted in house (especially since there were many things we had never considered). We looked at many houses with her, and with each house she helped us figure out what we were interested in and what we weren't. Our texts and calls were always immediately answered and if she did not have an answer to our questions right away, she was quick to find it. Just a few days after we had our baby, we were very motivated to find our perfect home and Gina was incredibly accommodating to our schedule. When we did find a truly perfect home, Gina was able to negotiate the best deal and help us through the home buying process as we were first-time homebuyers. We were able to get so much more home for our price range than we ever thought possible. During the closing process a tragedy struck our immediate family. Gina was there for us to help in any way possible. To us she is more than an amazing real estate agent, she has become a part of our new little family. We are so grateful for the care she has shown us, and how hard she has worked to make our dream a reality. I would not hesitate recommending Gina to anyone and will be sure to refer her to our friends and family.

I travel a lot for work, and it is usually difficult to schedule meetings, but Gina went above and beyond to make the home buying process much easier.

We met Gina at one of her open houses. We didn't have a realtor yet and she was more than happy to help us out. She was very personable and easy to talk to. She was very attentive. By that evening she had emailed us to see what we were interested in and not interested in and by the next morning had already emailed a list of houses. She showed us houses and was always on time. When we finally found the house we wanted she was aggressive in the negotiating and had an offer accepted the same night we put in the offer. All around she was great and I feel like we can call her a friend. I would recommend her to anyone!
