Gina Carling, Realtor-David Lyng Real Estate - Scotts Valley, California

Stacy Ramsey

Gina is the best! I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment we started working together, it was clear that she was not just a real estate agent, but a true partner in helping me find my dream home. Gina didn’t just listen to what I wanted—she truly understood it. She saw the vision I had in my heart and made it her mission to find a place that felt like it was meant just for me

Throughout the entire process, Gina was there—offering guidance, and going above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. She treated every showing, every call, every appraisal and inspection as if it were for her own home. And when it came to negotiations, Gina fought for me like I was family, ensuring that every detail was perfect.

But what really touched me was the genuine kindness and warmth that Gina brought to the table. She celebrated with me at every milestone and handled any hurdles with grace and determination. Thanks to her unwavering support, I’m now living in the home I’ve always dreamed of, and it’s all because of her hard work and dedication.

If you’re looking for someone who will not only help you find a home but will make your dreams their priority, Gina is the one. Gina is a gem, and I’m forever grateful to have had her by my side on this home buying journey.

As a mortgage broker with years of experience in Santa Cruz County and the greater Bay Area, I’ve collaborated with many real estate professionals, but Gina truly stands out as the consummate professional. Her deep knowledge of the local market is unparalleled, and her ability to navigate the complexities of real estate with grace and precision is simply remarkable.

Gina has an innate ability to understand her clients' needs and match them with the perfect properties, ensuring that every transaction is smooth, efficient, and successful. Her dedication to her clients goes above and beyond; she takes the time to educate and guide them through each step of the process, always making sure they feel supported and informed.

Gina makes you feel like you’re her only client. She’s professional, listens deeply, gives her candid perspective when you need it most and best of all, she deeply cares about her clients. Gina helped us find our new home and sell our current one. Some bumps along the way were made smooth by Gina’s calm and steady expertise. She’s a gem and comes with my highest recommendation.

After interviewing several realtors, we are happy we chose Gina to help us sell our house. As a lifelong Santa Cruz county resident living in SLV for nearly 40 years, Gina has tremendous knowledge of the Santa Cruz real estate market. Not only is she a professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and stress free realtor with great advice, she has a lot of resourceful contacts and managed all our inspections. Gina’s husband Rob is an ICC certified building inspector and licensed contractor for 30 years and helped us address several issues in order to get the house ready for market.

I highly recommend Gina and Rob for anybody looking for a great realtor/contractor. Thank you Gina and Rob for your hard work and paying attention to detail these past months. You went above and beyond to help provide a positive experience selling our house. Thanks again!

We interviewed a handful of the top rated Agents and Brokers in the Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley area. It was clear from our first meeting that Gina had the most experience, a deep understanding of the Santa Cruz and Bay Area markets, and was very well connected. She was also very personable.

Gina understood strengths and weaknesses of our property and neighborhood, knew the type of buyer to which it would appeal, and developed a pricing and marketing strategy that ultimately resulted in multiple offers at our asking price. This, despite a very challenging market for sellers. We were also particularly impressed with how hard she worked for us. She worked on our schedule fielding offers, producing counter offers, and hosting conference calls late in the evening, early in the morning, and on weekends.

We feel very strongly that Gina is the best of the best in Santa Cruz County.
