the job done. Since 2003, Gretchen has partnered with clients

expertise to buyers and sellers alike. Consistently a top producer,
Gretchen is a Master Certified Negotiation Expert (MCNE),

Prior to launching her real estate career, Gretchen worked in retail sales management for over seventeen years which developed her strong skillset in merchandising and marketing. Gretchen believes her remarkable strength in sales and marketing to be an inspiration to pursue real estate. She says, My skillset in retail sales was merchandising. That carries right into working with sellers to successfully market their homes and with buyers to ensure satisfaction with their purchase.

Gretchen also brings compassion to her real estate business. She says, Being previously widowed, I have an understanding for a family sorting through an estate and the challenges that represents. My own experience prompted me to become a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist.

    Gretchen Umberger, recommended by Josh Hughes, helped lease a property on Mar. 1st, 2026

    “After trying to rent our home ourselves for six months with no success, we decided to reach out to Gretchen Umberger — and that was the best decision we could have made. She had the home rented in less than a month, and for more than our original asking price. That alone speaks volumes. Gretchen truly knows what she’s doing. From pricing to marketing to handling the details, she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We’re extremely grateful for her expertise and look forward to working with her again in the future. If you need a realtor, she is definitely the one. Thanks again, Gretchen!"
