Ginger Walker & The Give Back Team: Redefining Realty in Stafford & Beyond

Ginger Walker and the Give Back Team of Coldwell Banker Elite have redefined what it means to serve a community through real estate. Led by Ginger Walker, a REALTOR® since 2008, the team’s mission extends beyond helping clients buy and sell homes—it’s about making a lasting impact through community involvement and acts of kindness.


“Ginger’s philosophy in business is simple: always put the client’s best interest first and do good things,” explains Chardenea Tousley, Director of Operations for the Give Back Team. “Her biggest inspiration is the ripple effect—how one good deed can inspire others to pay it forward, creating a wave of positivity.”


Having relocated from New York City to the Quantico area for her husband's job, Ginger understands the challenges of moving and has used that experience to form deep, personal connections with her clients. Over the years, she’s cultivated a team culture that reflects her values—a balance of hard work, creativity, and community spirit. “Every day is something different; there’s never a dull moment with the Give Back Team,” says Tousley.


One of the team’s standout traditions is celebrating together. “We mark each member’s birthday, visit Santa in our pajamas at Christmas, and dress up for Halloween to surprise the B101.5 Radio Station. You never know what Ginger will have up her sleeve—some days, you just need ice cream,” Tousley shares with a laugh.


Beyond the office, Ginger’s impact shines in her community involvement. She’s a dedicated advocate for local causes, sponsoring annual events like Clear the Shelters, which supports the Stafford County Animal Shelter, and Fill Dr. Bear’s Closet, a toy drive for Children’s National Hospital. “This year, Ginger didn’t just donate toys—she went above and beyond with gifts like a Nintendo Switch,” says Tousley.


Ginger’s efforts extend to the media as well. She hosts a TV show on The American Dream, showcasing the best of Stafford and Fredericksburg. “She’s always highlighting the amazing places in our area and showing the world why this community is so special,” adds Tousley, keeping you updated and engaged with the local scene.


At home, Ginger’s life is just as vibrant. She’s a proud mother to Cole, a college freshman, and Taylor, a recent graduate. Her family includes her husband, Dave, two dogs, Bo and Stella, and four cats. “Her heart is as big as her household,” says Tousley.


Through her leadership, Ginger has turned the Give Back Team into more than just a real estate group—it’s a movement centered on generosity, kindness, and making every transaction a step toward a better community. As Tousley puts it, “Ginger’s nickname was once ‘Give Back Girl,’ and she’s lived up to that name in every way imaginable.”
