Gina Made a Complex Multi-Owner Sale Look Easy

When my two siblings and I inherited a Waldorf Astoria vacation ownership from our father, we quickly realized that the three of us agreeing on anything — let alone a sale timeline, a price, and a process — was going to be the real challenge. We live in three different states. We have three different financial situations. We had three different opinions about how urgently we needed to sell and at what price. Gina Reid managed to work with all three of us without losing her mind. I say that with genuine admiration and a small amount of astonishment. She established a process from the very beginning: one primary contact per decision (we rotated, honestly), clear communication to all three of us in writing after every development, and specific benchmarks that we all agreed on upfront before anything was signed. That structure was her idea and it was exactly what our chaotic three-way ownership required. She was patient with our disagreements in a way that never felt condescending. When one sibling wanted to hold out for a higher number and another wanted to accept the first real offer, Gina provided market data and honest context without pushing us in either direction. She let us make our own decision with real information, which is the right approach. The sale closed at $39,800, which satisfied all three of us — a minor miracle given how we had started. The buyer Gina found was a single owner who wanted the full interest and was not deterred by the three-party transfer requirement. Our father would have been relieved that we handled it without a family dispute. Gina Reid deserves considerable credit for that.
