Ratings & Reviews

Lucinda & Todd Louketis

Gemma is very knowledgeable and experienced. She is very thoughtful, and knows everything about all aspects of selling and buying homes. When the home was placed on market she already had all inspections and staging setup, and this made for a smooth and expedited sell of property. She has contacts for everything needed including moving companies. The listing and selling of our property was done in 22 days, so if you are looking for experienced, and professional agent, Gemma is the cream of the crop!

Karen & Jim Larkin

I want to tell you how much I appreciate you continuing to check in with us. I consider you a friend, as well as a sister in the Lord. Yes, you’re a Realtor and part of the “check in” is business, but I know your heart. I know you do what you do to help people. I’m glad Jim and I are two of your people. 😊

We saw your sign on Almaden & Redmond last Sunday, on our way to church and we cheered for you!

May the Lord bless you and Tim and your business. May He protect you during these lean times and keep you under the shadow of His wings.

Gema was incredibly easy to work with, even managing the transaction while she was out of the office. Communication was especially clear and timely

I appreciated the hands-on coordination of movers, cleaners, painters, donations, etc., since I was not local. When determining to sell my mom’s condo, I had been concerned about how to manage that process, given that I don’t live close and had other demands on my time, so her handling of virtually all of that was incredibly welcome!

Her team seemed to push things through and supported me well.

Luke Tillo

As we close this chapter of our lives and move to our next, in Sacramento, I wanted to leave behind a little gift/recommendation. We were blown away by the demand for this area, and our house, as SIXTEEN offers came in from prospective buyers.

We ended up selling our house for much more than we were expecting, while only being on the market for 11 days! This was due in large part to the agent we ended up working with, Gema Smith.

I highly recommend you talk with her, even if you aren't looking to sell your home right now. Her knowledge of the selling process and specifically The Ranch on Silver Creek is unparalleled.

She worked with us to get the house ready for sale in less than 2 weeks, coordinating everything from staging to paperwork! Once the offers came in, she went back and forth with the buyer agents and got us the best deal.
