She was accommodating given our tough schedule and desire to see as much as possible. She was helpful in not only helping us find homes to look at that met our specifications, but took the time to walk through each of them and tell us about the homes, the areas and provided us detailed booklets for each property that we could use for reference as we went. Even after selecting the property, she helped with all aspects, from forming an offer, sourcing funding, setting up inspections and even setting up utilities after close. She made the entire process, from start to finish, both easy and worry free. I'd not only use her again if ever we chose to move, but I'd recommend her to anyone I knew who needed realtor services.

Linda Gardner was fabulous to work with. Even though we were ove 1000 miles away she made the process as easy as she could.
Linda was wonderful and patient with me . There were times of stress and unknown if I would even get the home but she was able to help make the transition easier.
Linda is so great to work with, we worked with her a number of years ago and really enjoyed it, and we just keep going back to her. This is the now the 5th time we have used Linda for either a purchase or a sale and it was as always a good experience.
Over the years we have dealt with many brokers and Linda Gardiner sits at the top of our list. She helped us negotiate with the owners of the house we now live in and made helpful suggestions of people to provide services such as home insurance, home inspections, etc. The home she recently helped us sell had been a meticulous, 30-year effort at restoration of a 200-yr-old cape and Linda was sensitive to the importance we placed on the buyer found being someone who would continue stewardship of this important piece of Orono's history.
Having no idea what I was doing as a first time home buyer, and having been out of the area for over 24 years, Linda's knowledge and experience were critical in getting me through this high stakes, long term investment process. Having an answer to my questions and concerns quickly and being informed of what steps came next in the process gave me the space and peace of mind to focus almost exclusively on the parts of the process that were important to me, like selecting the home itself. Without her experience it would have been a lot more difficult to take the time I needed to make decisions I was confident about. There's a lot involved with the process and having an experienced agent helps tremendously, especially if you have no knowledge or experience with the process yourself.

I was impressed with Linda from the beginning. She was personable, knowledgeable and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. She made the entire process easy!
Linda was excellent. She had extensive knowledge about the market, making competitive offers, and pointed out considerations while touring homes. Under contract, she was amazing in negotiations and took care of many things behind the scenes, but with great communication throughout.

About two months ago, my partner and I found ourselves in a situation in which we were abruptly faced with changes to our future living situation. The apartment that we were planning on moving into unexpectedly fell under, and we were unable to find another apartment that allowed us and our pets to move in. We were faced with a short timeline of needing to secure a place to live before I began a new job in the Bangor area. My partner and I began discussing our options and decided that buying a home was the best option for ourselves. We first contacted Linda Gardiner to find out about a property that she was the selling agent for. Linda quickly informed us that this house was not available, but took a few hours out of her Saturday evening to develop a plan for us and set up viewings of a few other homes that we were interested in. Due to COVID-19, we had to facetime Linda to do our "showings". Linda was extremely thorough and excellent at utilizing this platform to make sure that we saw the good and the bad of each home we viewed. We were nervous about not being able to physically "see" a home in person, but with Linda's attention to detail, we quickly realized that she had our best interest in mind. When we found our home, Linda was proactive and notified us of a pending offer that had yet to be reviewed. Thankfully, her prompt action gave us the chance to put in an offer on our home before it was too late. Throughout the time that we were under contract, Linda worked diligently on our behalf to gather reputable contractors from the area to gather quotes on repairs to address with the sellers. Thanks to Linda's quick work, we were able to make address these issues with the sellers and renegotiate for a mutual commonplace. Without Linda's attention to detail and organization, we would have bought a home that needed thousands of dollars worth of repairs. Linda's negotiating saved us a huge amount of time, money, and frustration. The process of buying our first home has been stressful enough, but Linda made this process flow as seamlessly as possible and made sure that we were educated and aware of all aspects of the sale. We couldn't' be happier in our new home and will definitely use Linda as our broker if we buy or sell in the future!
This is our third home purchased with Linda Gardiner as our realtor. Also the third time Linda did not disappoint. Her experience and expertise is invaluable whether you are a first time home buyer, or have purchased several homes. We may have settled into our dream home, but we will continue to refer Linda whenever anyone is looking for their own.

Linda is professional, helpful, knowledgeable and understanding. She worked with me on many levels to finally get to the point we found our "next home". Even after closing she has remained in contact and helpful. Linda turned out to be a great choice on the next step in our journey.
Thank you!

LINDA GARDINER IS ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMENDED BY MY FAMILY TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A PROFFESSIONAL AND DOWN TO EARTH REALTOR. LINDA'S WORK ETHIC AND CARE IS WHAT STOOD OUT TO US AND WAS MOST IMPORTANT. LINDA'S CONCEPT OF WORKING WITH A CLIENT AND CARING FOR THEM LIKE FAMILY IS WHY WE WILL UTILIZE HER AGAIN AND ANYONE WHO DOESNT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPURTUNITY WILL ONLY MISS OUT ON A TRULY ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE.
Linda Gardiner was a wonderful realtor and I would most definitely use her in the future and refer to others. Despite the neverending questions I had, she was so patient and clear to explain anything. She was kind, respectful of my opinions, open and honest with her thoughts or concerns. It showed her ongoing commitment to getting her clients the house they want. I was so grateful for her transparency! Linda made the homebuying experience everything I wanted it to be - with minimal stress and an outcome I had longed for - the perfect house!

Linda stayed with us through the 2 years it took to sell a special property to the right buyer. Thanks
Robert Brown, Terryville, CT, a buyer from Bangor, ME
Linda was the best agent to support our needs. She worked tirelessly to find a solution to our housing needs. Although I was in CT Linda coordinated multiple showings with my daughters to narrow done the options before I made the trip to Bangor and she then made herself (and her husband/driver) availabile over the weekend to show me the options we selected. She did all this while nursing a broken shoulder back to health, talk about commitment! Incredible agent! Thanks to all her help and support!

Linda Gardner listened carefully to my needs. She completed a CMA, and helped establish an appropriate price. Linda put together and executed an effective marketing plan that had the house under contract in about 6 days. Linda worked with the Buyers Broker, and other stakeholders to get the sale closed. Linda did an incredible job selling my property. I would highly recommend her.
We knew Linda for years and had recommended her to all of our friends and relatives. When it came time to sell we didnt consider any other agents. Linda is upfront and honest and most importantly professional and she knows the market.
Linda was there every step of the way! She soothed nerves when needed and was always honest. We have worked with Linda in the past and recommend her highly.
Linda helped facilitate an accurate deck of homes and scenarios for us. As we are new to the north east Lindas local experience and knowledge of critical path items for a successful purchase and smooth transition was great. Would rev one day Linda to anyone in the area.
Being that this was my first purchase and it was a VA loan, Linda was the perfect person to help me through the process. She knew what I was looking for and always had great feedback on the houses I went to look at with her. I overall enjoyed looking at different houses with her and she was not shy with her insights. The process had a lot of paperwork but Linda walked me through every step of the way. I felt well informed about everything that happened through the purchasing process. Overall, I am excited about my new purchase, and had no big surprises along the way. Linda let me know what I had to be prepared for from the start.
Overall, I would highly recommend working with Linda!
Linda Gardiner was so helpful to myself and my husband. Being first time home buyers she really helped us to navigate the real estate process of home buying. She was supportive and helpful through out our experience. We would absolutely recommend Linda to others and ask for her assistance again for any real estate needs in our future.
Linda is so down to earth and delightful. She isn't all about how much money she will get from the sale. Our place was not worth much so she hardly profited for the time and energy she put into selling it. I will definitely go with Linda the next time we buy or sell. She is amazing. We actually thought we would never be able to sell it. Linda got it on the market, advised us what to sell it for and just kept marketing it. We couldn't be happier that it actually sold. She worked so hard and it was just a crappy sell that wasn't worth much money wise for her. We are so thankful that she was the person we worked with. Her knowledge and effort are far better than anyone we have worked with before. 2018
