Gina Shumway

Gina’s prior experience as an acute healthcare provider fostered a desire to advocate for and serve others. Her introduction to real estate began with the short-term renting of her basement, which enabled her to acquire long-term rentals. Shortly thereafter, she founded an investment business where she specializes in BRRRR and “flips”. Gina has a passion for sharing knowledge and assisting others in finding financial independence through real estate. This aspiration drove her to earn a realtor license and empower her clients in building wealth through buying their primary home and investing in real estate.

Gina is gregarious, driven, and thrives on a challenge. She resides in Chattanooga, Tennessee with her husband, four children, and a dog. She loves working out, hiking, playing games, and cheering for her kids at sporting events. She is an avid reader, sings when no one is listening, and believes jamming out to music in the car is good for the soul.
