North Carolina is a relatively new home for me, and the eight state I've resided in. You may find my perspective and accent a little different, along with my approach to real estate. A sales background has taught me the importance of integrity, effective communication, follow-up, and customer service. Helping you achieve your real estate goal is my priority.

Gerri Mckinley | |
Gerri McKinley Welcome to my hometown, Washington. My name is Geraldine Bennett-McKinley but most people call me "Gerri". As a Beaufort native, I have always enjoyed working with the public. For many years, I worked with the local schools as a substitute teacher. I retired from H & R Block as a tax consultant after twenty four years and now I am able to concentrate on my Real Estate career and look forward to helping both new and former clients. I am a North Carolina licenced Realtor and obtained my Broker’s licence in 2000. Because I feel that a Realtor should be knowledgeable in all aspects of Real Estate, I enrolled in special classes where I obtained my Certified Buyers Representative (CBR) designation, the Graduate of Realtors Institute designation (GRI) and most recently, the Certified Residential Specialist designation (CRS). I have been fortunate to receive "Rookie of the Year" in 1998 from the Washington-Beaufort County Board of Realtors and have been a member of the Million Dollar Sales Club from 1999-2004. In 2005, I received recognition for being a member of the Ten Million Dollar Sales Club. During the time I was working at the local Century 21 office, I was the top listing agent and top producer. I was honored to receive the Master Diamond Sales Award for 2002 and the Centurion Award in 2003 and 2004 where Century 21 recognizes their top producers at their national convention. 2005 was an exciting year. I am now at Coastal Rivers Realty where I am looking forward to even better things to come. From first time home buyers to those looking to retire here, I would love to hear from you. | |

Gina Amaxopulos | |
Gina Amaxopulos A little information about me...I moved to North Carolina in 1999 with my family. Shortly after arriving we discovered Washington while riding around one day and the rest I guess you can say is history being made. We fell in love with the water, the quaintness of the town and very soon the warm folks that live here. I am the proud mother of two wonderful children. I have a 12 year old daughter and a 10 year old son. Our family is very active in the community and we love outdoor activities and sports of all kind. Being the true southern girl that I am as I was born and raised in Mississippi, hospitality, strong ethics and the desire to do the best job that I can has led me in my adult years to have a real heart of service to others. I have served as PTA President and on the PTA Boards of both of my children's schools for many years. Six years ago I organized a volunteer reading program through our church to help children in school who are behind in reading to receive one on one tutoring. I am also a Certified Housing Counselor and I work with a nonprofit that allows qualified residents to receive down payment assistance on their first home. As a counselor, I also offer ways to improve credit scores as well as credit repair. In college I became hooked on Real Estate after taking 4 classes in this field. It was a given that one day I would get my Brokers license so that I could work in the industry that I love! So, I am honored that you looked me up and I hope that you will call me with your Real Estate needs. Whether you are relocating your family and need information on schools, looking for properties to enjoy your retirement years or if you are a first time homebuyer I have the expertise to help you in any of these areas. I enjoy meeting new people and I hope to meet you! -Member of the Washington-Beaufort County Board of Realtors -Member of the National Association of REALTORS -Member of the North Carolina Association of REALTORS | |
