Gena B. Van Tries - REALTOR at Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene

Best Realtor ever! She made sure we found exactly what we were looking for and was accommodating to our needs when purchasing a home. We were first time home buyers and she walked us through every step we needed to take. She is a local Realtor so was able to make accommodations quickly when a house came on the market. Highly recommend her as a Realtor!

We LOVED having Gena as our realtor! She always put us first and guided us through every step of the process of buying our first home. She is very knowledgeable and it is clear she knows what she is doing. I would use her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Gena is awesome! Called the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene office as I found a house I wanted to inquire on. Finding out if had already gone pending I was invited to the office where I ended up meeting with Gena. Her personality just clicked with me from the start. She helped me through the rigors of finding a house that met my criteria and was kind enough to point out things to look for, as this was my first home buying experience. She let me know what houses were good and what I should avoid and eventually we found the perfect house for me. She then helped with providing recommendations for financing, helped with the closing, and provided help in getting the utilities turned on. Her positive upbeat attitude provided an enjoyable experience and working with her quickly came to feel like I was house hunting with a good friend. I would definitely recommend working with Gena as she is an amazing realtor who will look out for your best interests and help you find a house that you can make a home.

Gena is amazing! This was our second time having her help, this time as a seller, and the experience was straightforward and easy. She gave us very clear instructions that enabled us to get our house show ready, and did a beautiful job staging the house! Gena is open and honest, and she is on your side. Buyer or seller, I highly recommend choosing Gena as your realtor!

We highly recommend Gena Van Tries as a realtor. We sold our house in the Clear Lake area of Houston through her. She worked really hard at promoting our house, getting professional pictures, organizing an open house (and almost organized a second open house the next weekend which turned out to be not necessary as we had accepted an offer by then). She also made sure the house looked gorgeous by reorganizing some of the furniture and adding her own decorations (fruit bowls, flowers, pillows, bed cover) to make sure the house looked like out of a catalogue. She kept an eye on the house after each visit as we were gone at the time to make sure the house was locked and in order. She spent a fair amount of time talking to other real estate agents representing potential buyers who were asking questions about the house. We had an offer within a few days, and the contract and signing went smoothly within a few weeks (this was June 2022). Gena is very honest and no nonsense and we trust her completely. Moreover, she is boisterous and fun to be with. It was a pleasure working with her.

Gena is a wonderful realtor! She has lots of energy and able to make things happen. It was a wonderful experience having her list our home. Gena loves what she does and it shows in her actions. She is sweet, caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. We were truly blessed to of had Gena as our agent and look forward to using her again in the future.

I had the pressure to have Gena as my agent. Thanks to RealtyPlus for connecting me with her I was able to find our home within two-three months, as soon as we found our home we closed within 30 days. She was on top of my emails, texts and was always had her eye out with any new listings in the area I was looking for. She is knowledgeable in this filed and is great at it. Gena guided me all the way even on things she did not have to. Great eye to spot things I would not have noticed on houses. (even if it was a picture) Come on who takes their work with them when taking a mini vacation... Gena does. Shes your girl.

Gena was the BEST. She saved me 20k on my house. I was very excited to get my new house and I was willing to go way too high. Gena, with her market knowledge, was able to keep me from making a bone headed mistake. She was amazing at communicating with us and was available all the time, heck she was at my house on easter. We are very grateful we were able to work with Gena, If we move within the city we will be sure to use her again.

Gena was AWESOME and BEST REAL ESTATE Agent. I used her to sell my home when I moved out of Houston in 2020. It was through a relocation company and their representative had the following feedback, “never had they seen a sale go through this smoothly. The paperwork was perfect, timely, and Gena was in the top three agents, if not the best they ever worked with”. Bare in mind this representative moved people nationally, not just in Texas... I likewise enjoyed the process and throughout, I could tell Gena was on top of everything. I did the closing remotely across three time zones and EVERYTHING went off without a hitch. When I moved back in early 2022, I used Gena as a buyers agent. In the rat race of the sellers market, Gena worked with me across time zones as I moved, through several failed bidding wars, and her level of knowledge & detail was PHENOMENAL! An example, I was interested in a home, she pulled comps to find out it was overpriced, she called the listing agent to understand the other side, AND when she looked through the pictures she noticed issues with the house & a high tension power line cleverly hidden in a picture (I didn’t see it even after she said which picture it was, it was that cleverly hidden; she described exactly where in the picture it was before I saw it). All of this was on a house we had not put in an offer or seen in person since she does not want to waste client time on an overpriced house. Another house she researched to find out it was tied up in some legal issues, and on another, knew the neighborhood well enough to mention only one way in and out, which was off 45 south frontage road so if coming north, or wanting to go north, would have to go an additional exit down and backtrack. I mean really, that level of detail she was not only knowledgeable about, but was willing to share with a client? Gena is a top agent and no doubt, willing to do the extra work for a client.I used Gena again again to sell my house (bought in early 2022) in recently in Q3 2022. Same level of phenomenal service, knowledge, and competency. Knew my submarket so well, we listed above what I thought was possible, had multiple offers at list and above. Once again all went off without a hitch. Paperwork was so clean, even with a mortgage from the buyers, closing occurred in less than 18 days. All of this in todays market.Look no further, Gena is the agent for you as a buyer AND a seller.

Seriously the sweetest person you will ever meet. Gena does her job amazingly but at the same time you make a friend for life. She helped us buy our home in TX and was so incredible we came back to her to help sell it ten years later.

Gena was super helpful throughout the whole process. I made clear that I needed her inputs regarding the location and market evaluation and she provided all the information I needed so I could make my decisions. She was always fast on her responses and very good creating the connections with all third parties that I had to interact with. I couldn`t be happier with my experience with Gena.

If you looking for a realtor Gena is your gal! Goes above and beyond to find you the dream home you have been searching for. Very knowledgeable and professional.

I’ve worked with Gena professionally and she as good as they come! All around professional with good market knowledge that goes above and beyond. She is a gem to work with!
