Collaboration & Camaraderie

Gin Weathers, whose career began in commercial real estate in Los Angeles, never really thought about getting into residential real estate until 15 years ago, when she moved to the Monterey Peninsula. "I was in a world where we cut to the chase", she says. "Yet it turns out I have the qualities that are really important in residential real estate." One of those qualities is empathy, the ability to identify with others, to understand their sensibilities, to develop a sincere rapport with her clients. "I believe women are more empathic because we have the ability to understand both sides of the negotiation", she says. "When looking for a solution, we tend to use collaborative tactics to achieve a win-win. Our approach to the problem is "lets think about how we can make it work."

Collaboration is the cornerstone of the Weathers Gannaway Group, which includes administrative assistant-turned-real estate agent Martha Davis, giving additional direction to their Compass headings.

"Working together with Compass gives us the technology, the brain power, and the collaboration to be better agents", Gannaway says. "So, when we go out to do our job in this field, we can focus on building relationships, which is what our business and this community are really about."
