Gary Cardillo

YOUR WATERFRONT AND LUXURY HOME SPECIALIST

What do Clients Say?

Having lived in six different states over the past 30 years we have bought and sold eight homes. We have dealt with numerous Realtors from showing us homes to buy and assisting us in selling our homes. Gary helped us sell our last home in an extremely depressed slow market and assisted us in locating our retirement home. His aggressive marketing strategies and frequent updates on local market activities truly aided in the sale of our last home. He helped us close our home one day and move into our new home the very next day! Even after the closing of our retirement home, Gary went beyond the call of duty and continued to assist us with any issues we had. Working with him was the best experience we have ever had with a Realtor and I will always appreciate his professionalism and always recommend them highly.

Gary Cardillo is a tremendously knowledgeable, articulate, and effective agent. He successfully sold four properties of mine in a difficult market. Yet he was upbeat, professional, persevering, efficient and completely trustworthy throughout the process. If you are lucky enough to get Gary to represent you then listen carefully to his advice and appreciate his high integrity and honesty.

I have had the pleasure of working with Gary and Gail Cardillo over the years and can affirm their professionalism and dedication to the real estate industry. They are consummate professionals who work diligently to ensure each client receives personal service and that every transaction is handled honestly, effectively and thoroughly.

Thank you very much for all your help in selling my house. You are a true professional. I liked the way you guided me thru the process and your follow up on the other agent and the buyers. You will be my number one recommendation for real estate transactions.

Larry E.

Just a note to express our sincere gratitude for your service in assisting us in the purchase of our home. We have been very pleased in your response to any issue we may have had in the process of selecting the home we desired to purchase. It all began approximately 6 months ago when at our request you began sending homes that fit our criteria. I am a broker in Indiana, and know the difference between a good Realtor and one not so good. You and your wife have been all that anyone could expect and more, to Shirley and I. Should there be any of our friends that wish to locate in your area, I will give you the highest recommendation it is possible to get.

About Gary

Born in New York City and having worked in the city's fast-paced apparel and special events industries, Gary has always had the ability to work in demanding and high-pressure environments. With a keen eye for detail and design, Gary's vast background included territory development, national sales management, product design, and implementation of branded and private label product lines for major chain and specialty stores. Transitioning into the special events industry, Gary took his eye for design and organizational skills to one of New York’s largest floral and event design companies whose clientele base included corporations, politicians, media and sports figures, and members of high society in such landmark establishments as the Waldorf Astoria, Plaza Hotel, World Trade Center, along with a host of prestigious country clubs. He was recognized for his attention to detail and his unique ability to quickly address each client’s needs and concerns in the 50-60 major events performed each weekend.

Having graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Psychology, Gary’s educational background has given him the ability to listen and place his client’s needs, desires, and best interests before his own.” Despite what some may think, buying or selling a home is based on emotion, and you have to get to the person’s “why” to ensure their long term satisfaction with their decision.”

Gary’s attention to design and detail helps people visualize the potential of any property they are purchasing, or recognize the flaws that could compromise them down the road should they decide to resell. When it comes to staging a property for sale, that is where Gary’s vast experience is invaluable. “Removing the clutter and showcasing the property’s architectural features brings the highest return on investment.”

Gary's clients have often said his insight, honesty, and knowledge of the vast geographical area he services are enhanced by his keen marketing and negotiating skillsets. He's a great communicator, responds quickly, meets with inspectors and appraisers, and together with his wife Gail, who is multi-lingual and a former Portfolio Manager on Wall St., are with you each step of the way to ensure a smooth closing. They live by the motto, "We are stewards of our client's monies, and our relationship doesn’t end at a closing table.”

Throughout the years Gary and his wife Gail have served on various charitable boards helping generate hundreds of thousands of dollars for organizations that included C.A.R.E., American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, YoungLife, and the Homeless Coalition. They continue to actively support Habitat for Humanity, Tunnels to Towers, and the Wounded Warrior Project. Gary has been a featured real estate columnist for the Charlotte Sun and is proud of his RE/MAX Hall of Fame status along with numerous Platinum-level recognitions. As a waterfront and luxury marketing specialist, Gary is very proud of his CLHMS Guild status.
