Gina Popowicz

Gina has an established and unrivalled reputation for delivering quality service and achieving outstanding results for her clients.


“I've always operated on the philosophy that you treat people as you would like to be treated yourself,” Gina says. With over 25 years of experience in the real estate market, she has a unique ability to deal with both vendors, purchasers, rental providers (landlords) and renters (tenants) – something which became apparent very early on in her career. Her ability to foster and develop relationships with clients and achieve results beyond expectation has forged a reputation in the industry that is second to none. Totally dedicated and with a diligent approach to her work, Gina believes that real estate should be fun and has a natural talent for establishing relationships with her clients based on trust and respect. “The greatest compliment you can receive is recognition from your client for a job well done. This is illustrated by the many testimonials and referrals I’ve received from my satisfied clients,” she says.


The current time, however, is far-removed from the time when Gina was ‘advised’ by several Real Estate Agency principals that as a mother of four young children, she would never make it in the industry. Making her even more determined to succeed, Gina went on to become one of the most respected and sought-after agents in the Geelong region and numerous agencies subsequently attempted to entice her to their own agencies. However, after eight years working for other agencies, she decided that it was time to establish her own boutique agency which delivered exceptional results for clients whilst providing a service that was second to none. Through her caring approach, Gina has earned a richly deserved reputation in real estate for her ability to work closely with clients to achieve their real estate goals.


Prime Real Estate was born and commenced operating in June 2006 after Gina completed her Real Estate License. The agency’s tagline “Prime Agents. Prime Service. Prime Results.” embodies a unique way of going about business which other agencies can’t replicate. An abundant number of testimonials that willing clients are happy to write are testimony to this. “Our philosophy remains simple – treat people the way you would like to be treated”, says Gina, “and make sure we uphold the principles embodied in our tagline.”


Gina also supports the local business community by being a member of various business groups in Geelong including the Chamber of Commerce and the Geelong Business Club. Community involvement has always been a focus of the business, sponsoring and supporting various causes over the years, the biggest being a supporter of the annual breast cancer fundraiser, the Mother’s Day Classic, an annual fun run around the Geelong foreshore. In March 2011, Gina was honoured by the Belmont branch of the Westpac Bank, selected as winner of the “Ruby Award for Women”, celebrating the contribution of women in business and in particular, Gina’s contribution to business in Geelong. In 2012 Prime was also selected as a finalist in two Award categories of the Geelong Business Excellence Awards. In 2021 Gina Popowicz, was also nominated as a finalist in the Business Leader of the Year category, to recognise her outstanding leadership abilities.


Due to the ongoing demand in both Sales and Property Management, Gina continues to thrive and is looking at opportunities to further grow her business. “By delivering exceptional service through listening and responding to your needs, you'll be delighted with the results.” Gina Popowicz, the Agency Principal of Prime Real Estate, is a Licensed Estate Agent and a licensed member of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) and can be contacted on 03 5229 8899 or by email at ginap@primere.com.au

Outstanding Experience Working with Gina! “We had an outstanding experience working with Gina from Prime Real Estate. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication made the process of selling our property seamless and stress-free. From the initial proposal to the final closing, she provided invaluable guidance, and negotiated a great deal on our behalf- it exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend Prime Real Estate.”

Mairead

From our initial meeting with Gina from Prime Real Estate, we were made to feel as if we were top priority in our search for unparalleled service regarding the rental of our apartment. We were unfamiliar with the rental market being first time landlords and Gina took the time to explain the rental process of our apartment in a manner which was clear and very easy to understand. Upon meeting other members of the PRE team in Orest and Amber, we felt extremely comfortable and confident that we had met with the most personable and professional real estate agent team that had our best interests at heart. Gina and the team provided a customer service platform that was second to none as they actively listened, offered expert advice, were creative in their thinking and were able to effectively communicate with us throughout the entire rental process with a sense of calmness, trust and assurance. Prime by name means to be ‘of first importance’ and the ‘main centre of attention’ and Prime by nature is exactly the type of first class service that Gina, Orest and Amber abide by and offer their clientele in the property industry. Thank you so much for your guidance, patience and assistance…

Donna & Paul

Hi Gina, Thanks again. I can say Prime Real Estate is always professional and hard working when it comes down to looking after my properties. I’m a very busy person and having Prime Real Estate looking after my rentals takes the worry and stress out of managing my properties. Prime Real Estate go out of their way to make it just work and make it simple for me. This includes making sure the rent is paid on time and the premises are maintained to the highest of standards during the tenancy and when it is time for the tenants to vacate. It all comes down to Prime Real Estate knowing the real estate market, market conditions and more importantly people. It can be tricky knowing what to do, but I can trust and have confidence in Prime Real Estate to do the right thing for me. Thanks again.

Max

Great Effort Gina, We really do appreciate your awesome effort in selling our property – the whole process went smoothly. We had our reservation that the sale of the property may take some time, but little did we know that the property would sell this quickly thanks to the Almighty one who has orchestrated you to do this truly amazing job. Would highly recommend your service – top notch!

Joel & Rachel

We've worked with Prime Real Estate for over 7 years now. They were the agents when we purchased the property in Geelong West and we decided to stay with them as we rented the property out as an investment and finally, when we recently sold the property. Gina, Orest and the team at Prime exemplifies the meaning of professional, personal and friendly service. Gina took the time to understand what we wanted as investors and as vendors. We were kept informed and were consulted with throughout the process and are thrilled with our sales result. I happily recommended Gina and the Prime RE team to friends and family in the Geelong property market.

Mt & Mrs Le

Having purchased my first investment property through Prime I continued to use their service to manage the property  as I was impressed with Gina. Gina made both processes easy and straight forward with her great communication. Any questions or queries were met with a prompt response. Having recently sold my primary residence, Gina did a fantastic job getting a price I was happy with, even in the current market . Through the selling process I trusted Gina completely, as her friendly nature, professionalism and expert knowledge put me at ease. Thanks for all your hard work Gina and team , I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone Belinda

Belinda

Hi Gina, Thank you so much for all your hard work!!! Even though it wasn’t the easiest property to sell in the current market, your professionalism, determination and dedication got me a sale and at a price I was very happy with. It was so great to deal with such a lovely, genuine agent that listens and communicates every step of the way. I really appreciate the fantastic job you did and will definitely use Prime again.

Lucy

Property Angel!!!! We didn't think it was going to be easy...but we were wrong. As soon as i spoke to Gina on the phone (from Sydney)  i told my husband, " I have found our property angel". From our first conversation Gina made me feel at ease. Gina went above and beyond to meet our every need - her knowledge and her confidence in buying and managing our property is nothing short of amazing. Gina, Orest and the staff and Prime have been excellent. We have trusted Gina through this whole process - she is warm, honest and straight forward. I wouldn't trust anyone else. Happy Happy Happy..... Can't wait for our next project with Prime. Romina & Sunny

We would like to acknowledge the professional and friendly service of Gina Popowicz of Prime Real Estate.  Buying a new home is always a big decision; especially when you are buying in a location a fair distance from your existing home.  It was a pleasure to deal with Gina, who was happy to assist with viewings both pre and post contract signing and also assist with any inquiries and make helpful suggestions.  We would have no hesitation dealing with Gina again as a buyer or vendor based on her professionalism, interpersonal skills, courtesy and dedication to service. Gina takes pride in her work and strives to excel. Thank you Gina. Tony and Debra

GINA YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN!! From the time we met you Gina we have had full faith in your abilities and are so thankful that we came across you at Prime Real Estate all those years ago. You have since sold two of our properties in Geelong which have both exceeded our expectations.  We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our business and we would like to thank you and your team for all your hard work and dedication. We would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking at selling. We have always found your services to be so professional and proficient whilst still having a very personable approach. You definitely go above and beyond and we love that you sold our properties as if they were your own.  We are so grateful that you went the extra mile for us!! Sincerely Lindsay and Amber

Lindsay & Amber

In a word “WOW” Gina and the team have now sold 2 of our properties. The first time Gina was recommended by a friend and we were not really sure what to expect. We were in fact blown away by her professionalism, dedication and eagerness to help us get the best price for our property. Coming back to Prime Real Estate for us a 2nd time was really a no-brainer. We knew what lay ahead but we could not predict the speed in which Gina and the team could actually get a great price and sold our home in less then a week!! We have since been running trying to catch up with organising our life. We highly recommend Gina and the team and should we ever need a real estate in the future – Gina is certainly the one we will be relying on!! Thank you Gina for a wonderful job – we greatly appreciate your honesty and help during this time in our lives. We wish you continued success and look forward to working with you again in the future. All the best Damian and Mary-Anne

Dear Gina, Peter and I can't thank you enough for your professionalism and expertise in selling our property. You made the process very easy, from advice prior to listing, keeping us informed during the sale campaign, right through to auction day. The result was outstanding and reflects the work you put in. Peter and I have now experienced all of the services offered by you at Prime Real Estate. We purchased our property through you, rented out our original family home with Prime managing the property and have now sold that family home. It is a testament to the level of service you provide that we turned to you for each of these services. Thank you again for all of your help and advice. Rest assured, we will highly recommend your services to family and friends. Kind Regards, Jodie

Gina recently sold our house in Armstrong Creek, achieving a price at the top of the selling range and doing so within 2 weeks. She has always conducted herself in an extremely professional manner, not only in her excellent selling approach, but also in her reliability, promptness and qualified expertise in all areas of the real estate industry. We highly recommend Gina as a real estate agent. Adrian and Vesna

Adrian & Vesna

Hi Gina, Prime have managed our rental properties now for many years. The staff have been a pleasure to deal with, they are very efficient, professional and great communicators. With the recent sale of our Poplar Crt, we have been extremely pleased with the great work Gina has done and her assistance in getting the property prepared for sale. Her experience and advice have been very valuable. Her auction skills and rapport with interested buyers, her personal attention to details and the warmth she displays is a credit to her and makes the process a pleasurable experience. We have no hesitation in recommending Gina and the Prime team to anyone looking to use their services. Bry and Jeff

Bry & Jeff

Hi Gina, Thank you so much for your great assistance in selling our second property with you. Your advice, professionalism and market knowledge has been outstanding. To reach a sale within a week is an amazing achievement. We were kept up to date throughout the process after inspections, follow ups and negotiations. Your communication with us was fantastic, we knew exactly what was going on at all times. We can't wait to do it all again with you later next year. We highly recommend Prime Real Estate for getting the best results by far. Regards, Jeff & Bry

Dear Gina & Orest, Thank you very much for your attentive nature and incredible helpfulness throughout the process of buying our home. Many thanks, Lauren, Dave & Paige

Lauren, Dave & Paige

Dear Gina, We are and will be forever grateful for your dedication & support throughout our selling journey. You are a gem! With lots of love, Sue & Emily

Sue & Emily

I originally met Gina when I purchased a Newtown property from her some 8 years ago. Whilst I was the purchaser and not the seller, the experience was extremely helpful to me, including ongoing advice. There was never a phone message or email not returned promptly. Due to this, I then asked Prime to manage the property, which has now been 8 years. Their vetting of incoming tenants is amazingly thorough, and efficient, which has created longevity with tenants. At times when tenants have vacated, the amount of documentation and photographs are so well detailed. Inspections are thorough , tenant advice on maintenance is dealt with urgently , some with or without quotes, of which I am always given an option. Every invoice for work is always presented to me for sign off. Impressive. My second property in Newtown, has also been managed by Prime for over 6 years.  The service on going on both is amazing. Other experiences with agents I have for Melbourne properties are average. Failure to report maintenance issues, but even if advised, failure to report outcomes or invoice values. I only see values on end of month statements, without any detail . Over the years Gina has given me great advice re the market and also with real estate law. Overall the Prime team headed up by Gina and Orest is the most professional I have ever dealt with along with their friendly nature, and I highly recommended Prime over and above others in Geelong. Regards Paul

Dear Gina & Orest, RE: 15 McMahon Ave , ARMSTRONG CREEK We would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for your assistance & personal touch by looking after our Investment property initially through your Property Management department & finally the recent sale of the property. After my initial contact with Prime Real Estate, I felt confident that I had found a company which could be trusted. A family business which actually cared about their clients & I felt an instant rapport had been established from day one. Our overall experience with Prime Real Estate has been first rate. We can’t thank you enough for all your help & assistance. Nothing was ever too much trouble for you & you treated us as though we were part of your extended family. We would not hesitate engaging Prime Real Estate again in the future & would highly recommend your company to anybody who is looking for either a Property Manager or Sales Agent. We wish you & your staff all the very best for the future. Julie and Adrian

Julia & Adrian

Coral & Alex

Our experience of ‘selling a house’ has been an absolute pleasure with Prime Real Estate, and Gina Popowicz as our agent. Complete professionalism, hard work and efficiency on Gina’s part, has resulted in no stress for us during the sale. Gina’s friendly and caring nature, gave us the feeling of working with a friend, or trusted family member, who was always representing our best interests, under constricted time frames. We would have no hesitation in recommending Gina and Prime Real Estate, to anyone who wants a job very well done.

The Holowka and Olijnyk Families

Gina was absolutely fantastic and very professional to deal with. She worked with us every step of the way. She kept us fully informed at every step and of costs in preparing and listing the property. Her communications on everything happening with the property, any offers or enquiries was the best we have ever dealt with. The property was sold within days of listing, and at a price that exceeded our expectations - this was very much due to the professionalism of Gina and her team. We would certainly have no hesitation in using Gina from Prime Real Estate for all our future property dealings. Thank you, Gina for making this sale so seamless.

Peter & Natalie

Prime means - “of the best possible quality, and or excellence.” By that definition, we have again achieved “Prime” all round results in the Listing and Sale of our home with Gina Popowicz at Prime Real Estate. This is our second experience in listing and selling with Gina.

A+ Her outstanding commitment to selling our home was clearly demonstrated in her offering her services….. Gina has a genuine passion for real estate and works diligently and tirelessly to achieve excellence. Thank you Gina for another positive experience.

Amanda and Nigel

My experience in selling and purchasing properties over many years has been quite extensive. This current sale of my townhouse in Highton has been a unique experience, thanks to enlisting Gina of Prime Real Estate’s assistance. Her ability to instil confidence and detailed information, as well as her delightful personality, make such integral attributes in her position in dealing with the public and managing real estate. Congratulations Gina, I wish you every success with your endeavours.

Ann

On our decision to sell our home of 10 years, Rose and I spoke with a number of Real Estate agents. We signed with Gina Popowicz due to her open and honest appraisal of the real value of our property and her engaging personality that left us with a high level of confidence that she would do the best for us. The energy and enthusiasm that Gina put into our set up to sell and her positive approach to ourselves as the clients with weekly online summaries and one on one communication ensured we had a clear vision of of the progress our our sale hopes. The stand out success of our final sale is due to the high level of commitment of Gina to engage with all that took some interest in our property.

Barry and Rose De Kook

I would like to praise Prime Real Estate for their professionalism from start to finish of our purchase of a property. In fact Prime Real Estate and the team were so good they even now manage my investment property. So if you are looking for a professional real estate team I would recommend Prime.

Max and Ingrid

To the team at Prime Real Estate, Thank you, particularly to Gina for selling our rental property and Suzi for managing it. Your hard work and effort has made our first experience as an owner and landlord a positive one. Gina has walked us through the process of selling the property ensuring each step has been easy and uncomplicated. Our trust in her has been verified as there have been no surprises and she has been true to her word in all aspects of her endeavours. Suzi has been nothing but professional and courteous in all of her interactions. She has liaised between our tenants and ourselves on a regular basis and ensured that both parties have been completely satisfied with all outcomes. We will not hesitate to use your services in the future. Thank you again. Kind Regards,

Madeleine and Simon

We would like to thank Gina and the team at Prime Real Estate for their assistance in purchasing our new house. Gina was friendly, very knowledgable and promptly followed up on all questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble and the process of buying and settlement was made much easier thanks to her assistance. We would not hesitate to recommend Gina in the future. Thanks again for all your help.

Tim & Anne

Dear Gina, I just wanted to thank you and all at Prime Real Estate for the exceptional work in selling my unit. I would never have believed that my unit would sell so quickly (one day!) and I owe it all to you! You made the selling process seamless.It was clear from the moment you walked through the front door that you have a passion for real estate and treated my unit as a much loved home rather than just another house to sell. Your guidance, enthusiasm and encouragement was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Prime Real Estate to anyone who is looking to sell their property. I really appreciate everything you have done for me, thank you again!

Alison

Both I and Janos would like to thank you for the hard work you have done and professionalism you have shown towards us in our dealing to date. We have been extremely happy with your dedication as our agent which has made the sale of our house a lot more enjoyable than it could have been. Over the years we have sold 5 houses through various agents and have never been this satisfied. The speed that you sold our house was astonishing and the price we got for our house was above and beyond what we expected. Any time we have needed you, if you were unable to see us the same day you would be around the next day first thing in morning. All we can say is that you are a GREAT AGENT not only to sell with but also to buy with. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommended you to anyone. Thank you so much.

Bozica and Janos

Dear Gina, After what felt like endless 'less than pleasurable' dealings with other agents while searching for a new home to purchase, we found a home we loved in one of Prime Real Estate's listings. Gina's professionalism and honesty was a breath of fresh air. She made the buying process streamlined, simple and exciting. Needless to say we engaged Gina to sell our previous home and her communication was exceptional. Not to mention she sold it within 8 days at a price we were overjoyed with. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Gina and her team at Prime Real Estate as a purchaser and as a seller.

John & Lisa

Dear Gina, I would very much like to thank you for the great job you did managing the successful sale of my property. I was impressed by your professional, friendly and efficient approach. The feedback after each inspection was valuable and much appreciated. I would highly recommend you and your firm to others when selling or renting their homes.

Kathy

Dear Gina, We could not have been more pleased that we chose you as our agent. You really are the best in what you do. For all that you have done in the sale of our property, your kindness and professionalism shone through. Ever grateful.

Barbara and Kevin

Dear Gina, I would like to thank you and the team at Prime for all your hard work over the years. You have helped me to sell a number of properties and also to purchase a property. Each time I was impressed by the great passion, enthusiasm and commitment you showed. You exceeded my expectations every time, particularly the last time as it was a difficult time with quite a lot of emotions attached to selling the property. You showed care and compassion with each dealing I had with you and my best interests were always your priority. You promptly responded to any queries I had and I truly felt valued as a customer. I continue to highly recommend you and the team at Prime to anyone who wants excellent service, experience, great results and professionalism.

Vesna

Dear Gina, Thank you so much for all of your hard work in selling our house. We are really pleased with the level of service that you and the staff at Prime Real Estate provided. We are amazed how quickly you were able to sell the house for us. Your immense knowledge of the market trends, along with your kind and caring demeanour, made our experience working with you such a pleasure. Your excellent communication and always keeping us informed throughout the process is greatly appreciated. We highly recommend you and Prime Real Estate to anyone buying, selling or renting a home. Once again we would like to express our sincere gratitude and thanks for all your help and assistance.

Michael, Gene and Irene

We were impressed with the service we received from Gina and her team at Prime Real Estate. As we are not local to the area, we felt that the team accommodated us in attending inspections that suited both our time and our daughter’s. We felt very secure and comfortable on the hands of this professional team, especially the lovely Mundy, who is a lovely asset to the business. Whilst as purchasers, we understand Prime was primarily acting for the vendor, we would be happy to enlist Prime to sell any of one of our investment properties in the future.

Pauline

Dear Gina, Just a quick note to let you know how happy we have been to deal with you at Prime Real Estate. Being the first time we have attempted to sell a property, we were in the dark. You and your company, have been both professional and personal, in helping us to move forward. Your service was excellent, and you kept us up to date at all times through the whole process, until after a very short time the house was sold, and we had the price that we had agreed on. We are very happy to have dealt with 'Prime', and would at any recommend you to anyone who would ask. Thank you once again.

George and Jennie

Dear Gina and Orest, We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for your courteous and professional yet down to earth service which resulted in the sale of our property in Leopold. We especially appreciated your infectious enthusiasm, attention to detail and excellent communication during the entire process. You were absolutely tireless in your efforts. It is quite easy to see that you take pride in delivering exceptional customer service, and for that we thank you and your team sincerely. We found the entire process a very positive experience. We wish you all the very best in the future and be rest assured that we will offer great feedback to family/friends and acquaintances and hope that they too will choose Prime Real Estate for their buying/selling needs. Kind regards,

Rick and Marie

Dear Gina, I would like to personally Thank you and the team at Prime Real Estate for selling my property in Highton.

Dear Gina, We would like to say a sincere thank you for your assistance with the recent sale of our home and with the purchase of our new home. You made the purchase of our new home an absolute pleasure. When we first made contact with you to discuss organising an inspection we were so impressed with the prompt service we received. As soon as you arrived, we established an instant connection with you and we felt very comfortable in your company. You answered all of our questions, maintained a high level of communication and we appreciated your honesty and sincerity throughout the purchasing process. Thank you for everything.

Briana and Joel

Dear Gina, Thank you for your professionalism and outstanding service. Your attention to detail, regular communication and integrity kept us up to date and lead to the speedy sale of our home in East Geelong. We truly believe that the clarity of service and empathy you personally provided was 'over and above' our expectations. Marg and I would happily recommend your agency to family and friends.

Rick

Diana and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally and the team at Prime Real Estate for the endless dedication, patience, integrity and genuine sincerity in selling our Highton property. We are not only grateful for the tireless work but we appreciate the relationship that has developed between us. During the sale of our property we were grateful for the communication through your continual updates, not only on how the market was trending, but how this affected our sale, and importantly, how our property was perceived by the market through your seamless open house inspections. Since the day that we both met you, we knew that we made the right decision in nominating Prime Real Estate to sell our property. It was evident through the professionalism, positive nature and genuine interest in selling our house that Prime Real Estate had great market presence and experience in selling properties. Best wishes to the team at Prime Real Estate.

Diana and Bill

Dear Gina, Just a quick note to thank you most sincerely for your fantastic service when I recently sold my property in South Geelong. Your personal service and professionalism are outstanding attributes and were really appreciated. You are truly a credit to the real estate industry and I'm certain you will continue to enjoy the great success you have already experienced. I gues the greatest compliment I can pay you is the fact that I had no hesitation in choosing you to be my agent - even though I worked for a rival real estate agency for over eleven years! Having already purchased my investment property through your agency...I already knew how lovely and friendly you and your associates were and how easy you are to deal with. It had been such a positive experience, I had no hesitation in engaging you to be my agent... You were all lovely to deal with and I will certainly recommend your agency to anybody I know who wishes to sell or purchase real estate and also for property management. Thank you most sincerely.
