Bob Gardner

Sale of this house involved numerous hiccups. Bob was always available to deal with these even when I was not. I could not beleive the extent to which he went to make sure everything was finalized and the sale consumated. He arrived at a fair listing price so house sold within days at the list price. In addition, he proved extremely knowledgeable about such things as HVAC , plumbing and electrical systems. This was was invaluable in dealing with tradespeople the buyer insisted perform inspectons on top of the basic home inspection. He found excellent, reasonably priced firms to do work I needed done to correct a few things found in the home inspection. Bob more than earned his commission on this sale. He invested many hours making sure everything went smoothly including the paperwork, dealing withmy lawyers, etc.

Bob more than earned his commission considering the handholding I needed throughout the process. When searching for the right property for me, he never pressured me to make an offer till I was certain I found the right place. He did not "sell" any listing. He judged each property we visited based on how well it met criteria I'd given him at the outset of the search.. This was greatly appreciated.

Bob Gardner was very helpful directing his ideas (when asked), while listening to ours. Everything he advised actually came true, so confidence grew during the transaction. We left town when the home came on the market, Bob handled all the showing contacts allowing us to avoid all the early market activity. I met Bob during a visit to Asheville; we returned home receiving new listings in our price range, our site wishes, and gardening opportunities. He stayed in front of us with local gifts during the seven years we were living in our home. From our introduction purchase, through our sale transaction we both appreciated the smooth finish this time. Glenda Shalley and Barry Miller

I have been working with Bob for some time and he is fantastic to work with. I could not ask for a better broker to help me learn the Asheville area, he was on it and found the property we wanted and we jumped on it, and won! I have already referred someone to Bob We both knew we could not make a non-aggressive offer to get the unit, we both worked on the right price and term and tied it up immediately. I only worked with Bob, he did it all!

SUPER knowledgable and a VERY good listener. After our initial meet-and-greet he came up with a list of homes that was about 70% on target. After one day together looking at homes his revised list the next day was better than 90% on target. Took less than a week for him to find us the nearly perfect home. We are from California. Our plan was to spend five weeks exploring the area. Come back a few months later and explore more. But after ten days, as I said, the decision had been made. So we just relaxed and enjoyed the remaining month we had booked. He has been with us 100%, every step of the way. We are telling everyone Bob Gardner is absolutely wonderful to work with.

We've known Bob Gardner for several years and he has always freely provided his expertise on the properties and workings of the City of Asheville regarding real estate. Communication is one of Bob's great strong suits, and he is supremely knowledgeable about his profession and the area. Very simply, Bob Gardner is the one we trust. When we began to look for a second property in Asheville, Bob Gardner was the one we turned to. He was always responsive to our calls and showed us every property we wanted to see. When we found The Perfect Place, we did not have to worry about a single aspect of our purchase, from making the offer to closing on the property. Bob took care of it all. It didn't matter if it was on the weekend or late at night, Bob Gardner stayed with us every step of the way.

Bob was so very instrumental in making the selling of my home as easy as possible. I had lived there for nearly 40 years so the process was emotional but with Bob's empathetic and caring manner I had a good experience. Bob was so kind that by the time the home sold I felt I had new friend in himm and even his family The overall experience was excellent - whichis saying a lot because this was during the rage of the pandemic ! I have known Bob from the community and knew that he was a wonderful person with a wonderful family and wholesome values.

Bob made us feel comfortable with ever step of the process, even as out-of-state purchasers. Bob brought us to very qualified prospective properties, not a laundry list of of broker's listings.

Bob Garner is an exceptional broker. Being a real estate agent myself in the NY Metro area,; and having dealt with many agents in our search for a retirement town in several cities in NC/SC, Bob stands out. His communication skills, responsiveness to calls, texts or emails is excellent. And, his level of patience and calm manner in our somewhat complicated transaction are to be commended. I already recommended him to someone I met in the airport on the way home who wanted to switch her agent in the area.

We were extremely impressed at a number of skills Bob possesses in his work as a residential realtor: the level of technical and local market knowledge, the skill and instinct he has during negotiations and the dedication to the deal he showed. He was always available, communicated with us whenever there were developments, consulted thoroughly with us whenever needed and seemed to sincerely care about us and our real estate needs. We loved the flyers and online promotion of our home. Design, color, quality and content. We were impressed at the high level of teamwork and collaboration shown by the S. Avl. office. We needed to sell a washer and dryer quickly and Bob found a realtor right away who helped us sell and get machines out of basement before closing. We also had two deals fall through, and Bob used the Beverly Hanks teamwork systems in place to make sure all realtors knew what was going on with our home so that their clients would know when our home was back on the market.

Within a matter of a few showings, Bob knew, better than we did, exactly what we were looking for. He asked us to look at this one particular house more than once and we would not even go in the driveway because it was "Not our preference of style on the outside because it clung to the side of a mountain"... After many homes and days upon days of showing us houses we had picked out, he said, "I have a home I want you to see." Without letting us knowing where until we arrived. When Paul saw where we were he, thought Bob had lost his mind; but Bob asked that we "indulge him" because he had already made the appointment. From the moment we walked in it was, "Honey, I'm Home!" Thanks to Bob's intuitiveness of his clients' requirements and desires, the house that merely clung to the side of a mountain is now the home where we will spend the rest of our days. If ever you decide to move to Asheville, NC or surrounding area and buy a home you shouldn't do it without having Bob Gardner as your agent!

Bob Gardner went above and beyond what I had expected from an agent. He listened to my needs and then found me the perfect home in the location I desired. He was very helpful in all aspects of the offer and closing of the contract. Since I was moving from out-of-state, without me asking, he furnished the links to the utilities so that could be handled prior to my move. Bob was also very knowledgeable of companies in the area that could handle upgrades I desired. In my opinion Bob Gardner is a top-notch real estate agent.

I guess if I would list all of the many positive things about my experience with Bob Gardner it would take awhile but in summary I was treated with the utmost respect and professional care I could imagine. He was competent, helpful, thoughtful, informative and when one situation didn't work out he would tirelessly move on to the next thing. I was nervous and inexperienced in the arena of real estate but Bob walked me through every aspect right up to the closing. I also had him list my brothers property. I commend Beverly Hanks for employing agents like Bob. I will certainly recommend him to anyone I come in contact with and in fact have already done so. I could go on but will leave it here. Additionally Bob contacted me on numerous occasions before I was ready or even knew I was going to sell my property. He was the main reason I moved forward. I have just about said it all on the previous page. I realize I have marked most all in the "excellent" column but I am just being honest. My property took a little longer to sell because it was not as desirable as others. Pretty, neat and clean, comfortable and convenient. Nice, helpful brokers on floor duty. Previous comments say it all other than "over the moon". Thank you!

Bob Gardner was recommended to me by two friends who he helped find their condo. From the very beginning of my interaction with Bob, I knew he was the right broker to work with me. He was patient, professional, concerned to help me find just what I wanted and needed. He was always very professional, but at the same time,personable and personal. As I learned more about the area, my tastes changed a bit. For a while I was interested in the new WNC Green homes in West Asheville. I always liked the residential areas in Haw Creek areas. For a short while I was interested in townhouses and condos. I actually had Bob create two carts for me, one with homes and one with townhouses and condos. I looked around east Asheville in the Swananoa area and down in Arden, as well as the Montfort area. I put an offer on a house in craftsman circle, but someone outbid me. But when Bob showed me 7 Oakhaven Terrace- he knew, as did I, that it was perfect for me. I got scared about buying it a couple times, but Bob Gardner was always there to help me think things through calmly. He is terrific at what he does and the way he does it. I am going to miss interacting with him and will, and have recommended him to my friends.
