Gina Harwood
In a state with over 200,000 licensed real estate agents, it’s rare to find one as driven and responsive as Gina Harwood. A full-time Realtor since 2017, Gina earned her Broker Associate license in 2022 and has built a reputation rooted in consistency, integrity and hard work. Her customers quickly learn that communication and follow-through aren't just promises—they're non-negotiables.
Gina lives out her values, drawing inspiration from Colossians 3:23 and Proverbs 22:1, believing that a strong work ethic and a good name are worth more than gold. She’s known for picking up the phone, following up promptly, and treating every transaction with professionalism, courtesy and a healthy dose of hustle.
Her dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed. In 2022, Gina ranked #5 in the "40 Under 40" at The Keyes Company for sales volume. Originally from Ohio, she made Florida her home in 2012 and has since become deeply embedded in the community. She’s an active member of BNI, an Ambassador for the Boca Chamber, and serves on their Board and as the PULSE Committee Chair for young professionals.
Gina specializes in helping clients buy and sell homes across Palm Beach and Broward Counties—including Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, Coconut Creek, and beyond. She also partners with trusted brokerages to connect clients with real estate professionals in other states and countries.
For Gina, real estate isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. She pours her heart into every deal, because she knows that behind every transaction is someone’s future. That’s the promise behind her personal motto:
Your Home. My Hustle!®
