What do Clients Say?

Gary took my wife and I through the entire sales/buying process (sale of home and purchase of new home). I can say with 100% confidence that I have never seen a person work harder for their clients. I've heard the term, "he makes you feel like you're his only client" before. In Gary's case, truer words were never spoken. He made the process (both of them) seamless and stress free. It is safe to say that you would be hard pressed to find a better person to represent your interests (and I have family in the real estate business).

Gary Gardiner was referred to me by a great friend 2 years ago when I first thought I was ready to sell my home. My situation was hard at the time and I really did not know where to start. That is where gary stepped in and lent a very supportive ear and such honest and heartfelt advice to me. After careful research, it turned out that I was not yet ready to sell my home. Two years later and a much brighter outlook, I contacted Gary once again. He never even blinked and remembered every part of my situation from two years earlier and we reconnected and Gary took charge of every aspect of listing and selling my home. I have never witnessed a person so dedicated to his customers!! He called on the July 4th holiday to update me and sold my home in one day!! Gary then quickly changed hats and represented us as buyers now. His staff, especially Bruce and Cassie were amazing and equally dedicated to not just my family but to the many others being served also. I never once felt like he had other customers but in reality are one of the busiest firms in our area. He put me in touch with the most professional and kindest mortgage brokers I have ever had the privilege of working with, Kathleen Sullivan from M&T Bank. This entire process and team work, including the settlement attorney's office of Shaheen Law Firm, are the most professional and friendly people I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Gary and his team will be forever talked about by my family and I and amongst many of my friends. Thank you Gary!!

Gary Gardiner has shepherded my family through the home buying process twice, and we put his skill to the test. He navigated our seller side through a default buyer and handful of contingencies within a short amount of time, keeping my family comforted and optimistic for resolution. This review does nothing to convey the ability Gary has to negotiate the obstacles that can present themselves during a home sale. After the first buyer defaulted, Gary nimbly reactivated, listed, returned our house to contract, returned us to the closing table within 30 days! Amazing! The patience and measured action demonstrated during some of the most trying times, was a testament to the intellect and wisdom of the real estate expertise held by Gary. We appreciate everything that Gary has done for us in the past, up to this current home sale and purchase of a new home, and look forward to a lasting friendship with Gary and his team. We would not only do business with Gary in the future, we also recommend Gary to anyone needing any type of real estate assistance. Thank you Gary.

We cannot begin to express how amazing Gary and his team were to work with! From our very first phone call with Gary, we knew we had chosen the most qualified realtor that was going to sell our home quickly and make buying our dream home a reality! Gary was exceptionally knowledgeable about the market and we were immediately confident he had the work ethic to put forth the necessary hustle and tenacity to take on what at the time seemed nearly impossible. I was 7 months pregnant when we began the process. With being on a very tight time-frame to make it into our new home before our newest addition's arrival, Gary and his team worked diligently to get us a contract on our dream home and were simultaneously proactive in getting our home on the market quickly with professional photos and aerial shots that were breathtaking. Gary was always enthusiastic and we always knew that our needs were his top priority throughout the entire process. Gary always maintained a superb level of communication with my husband and myself. Gary listened to our requests and was personable and patient with us every step of the way. He made the process of buying and selling a home seem effortless and as stress-free as possible while not only exceeding our time-frame but also bringing in multiple offers above sales price. We are now settling into our new home with just two more weeks until little one is due and we could not be more grateful to Gary for making it all possible. Whether you are looking to buy or sell, there is no better choice than the Gardiner Group. I would never hesitate to recommend Gary to anyone. Gary is undoubtedly the best realtor out there and he is someone you can trust to represent your personal investment and future needs.
