ED GARDNER

As Broker/Owner of Gardner Real Estate Group in greater Portland, Maine, Top Agent Ed Gardner has helped shape the vision of the city and made major contributions to its vitality, economy, and character.

Ed Gardner's real estate career is not just about selling houses. It's about building successful community through real estate development. As Broker/Owner of Gardner Real Estate Group, a real estate company in greater Portland, Maine, he's helped shape the vision of the city and made major contributions to its vitality, economy, and character. "I try not to let a minute go by where I'm not involved in some way in this great community of greater Portland."

With over 35 years of experience, Ed has handled hundreds of successful transactions, from single family homes to condos to multi-family buildings to large development projects. He works mostly by referral and now has clients he's worked with for two or even three generations. "When I got started, I met a real estate developer who liked my style and knew that I understood the city and building and renovation very well. He gave me almost 100 listings for condo conversions, apartments that were being converted into condominiums. I was known as the Condo King for several years.

Eventually, the clients that I had sold condos to later graduated into either multi-family buildings or single-family homes--and the business just snowballed from there."
