Bob Gardner - Beverly Hanks And Associates

BEST. AGENT. EVER. It took me some time to coalesce my thoughts about Bob Gardner. I almost feel as if referring to him as strictly as a ?real estate agent? is inadequate. He is a modern-day Renaissance man who brings all of his talents, skills and professional business experience to his work as a seller?s agent and buyer?s agent. I had the great pleasure of working with Bob for both the sale of a home and the purchase of a new home. It was a ?given? that I would choose to work with Bob again because I had absolute confidence in his expertise in providing real estate services and knew that he would strongly advocate for me as his client once more. Bob was professional, knowledgeable and all-around exceptional!!! He knows the market well, he knows how to price and promote and he is a skilled negotiator when it comes to the offer phase. He has an excellent command of all things business-related and can answer practically any question about any field of study that you throw at him. He is intellectually brilliant and extremely proficient and competent in so many disparate areas. He wrote excellent copy for the listings for my home and put together attractive and eye-catching ads. As someone who used to work in the advertising industry, I had to comment on his ability to create effective marketing and promotional pieces! What I appreciated the most was Bob?s high level of integrity and commitment to me as his client. When I was selling my home, there were times when he would tell me that what I was being offered was too low. An agent who had different ethical standards would just want to get the job done quickly even if the client weren?t getting the best price for his or her home. But Bob did not work that way. Not once did he rush me to sell but he found me a buyer with a very fair price. I couldn?t have been more pleased with the outcome of that sale. As a buyer?s agent, he kept in mind the criteria that were the most important to me in a new home. He has a keen eye and an impressive knowledge of all things related to construction and he would point out to me potential weaknesses or strengths of a home of interest. He worked so hard for me both times, addressing my many questions throughout the process. When a house that I had expressed interest in but was under contract suddenly became available again, Bob gave me a ring late that evening to tell me the news. He had been savvy enough to stay in touch with the seller?s agent and this was the only way he was able to get this news before the house officially went back on the market. As stated before, he is ALL about the client and this is another way he really stands out as an agent. He always gave great advice and never stopped advocating for me until well after the closings were finished. On top of all of this, Bob is a genuinely nice person. He took care of nearly everything for me with an enthusiastic attitude throughout. It is clear that Bob loves what he does. He truly excels at his work and a potential client benefits all the more because of this fact. When you?re ready to deal with a sale or investment in the 6-figure range, why would you put the process and final transaction in the hands of someone who?s just ?average?? Bob Gardner is hands-down the best seller?s and buyer?s agent ever and not only did he meet my expectations, he exceeded them.
