About Gina

Your neighbor,
your agent.

I'm Gina Schramm, and I've been helping families buy and sell homes in Columbia for over 15 years. I grew up here, raised my family here, and I know this community the way you'd know your own backyard — because it is.

At Northrop Realty, I bring a personal touch that big agencies often miss. Every client gets my direct line, my honest opinion, and someone who actually cares about whether you'll be happy here long-term — not just whether the deal closes.
