ZillowVERIFIEDLinda is an exceptional and experienced realtor who went above and beyond throughout the entire process of selling our property. Linda was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and always kept us informed every step of the way. She truly worked tirelessly on our behalf, including hosting multiple open houses and doing everything possible to generate interest in our property. Linda made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and reassuring. Thanks to Linda's endless efforts, strategic approach, and positive attitude, our property was ultimately sold. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome gave us complete confidence throughout the process. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a realtor who is trustworthy, hardworking, and truly invested in her clients' success.

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda made the sale very quick and painless, providing expert advice and local resources to bring the sale to a close. There is a lot you need to know for a home sale and it was nice to have someone to take the worry and uncertainty out of the process so I could focus on the decisions that needed to be made without disrupting my life otherwise.

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda was great to work with, I would have no hesitations with working with her again. She provided helpful ideas and suggestions for repairs/upgrades that were needed to make the condo more marketable.

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda was so helpful and responsive throughout our entire home buying process. She was very accommodating, considerate, knowledgeable, and reliable. We were first time home buyers from out of state and had plenty of questions! Linda was able to answer them all. We definitely recommend her services.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with Linda multiple times over the years. She has helped us buy two homes and sell two homes. She has also shown us several properties when we were considering moving. She is very patient working through the process and the many issues you confront with what is probably the biggest investment of your lifetime. We never felt a hint of pressure from her and would always recommend her first for anyone, buying of selling.

ZillowVERIFIEDShe got my wife and I our dream home and never gave up along the way. She worked through the paperwork tirelessly and helped motivate us and direct us to resources when we needed them. She always was upfront and honest with us and gave us good feedback about every house and decision we made. 110% score for her, she hit it out of the park and was there for us every step of the way! Would recommend absolutely!

ZillowVERIFIEDUnfortunately I didn't have a good experience with her from the get go because she spelled my name wrong and when I corrected her she apologized but continued to spell my name wrong in our correspondence. I wasn't aware that once you sign paperwork with a realtor that you are contracted to work with them for a year (or something) otherwise I would have worked with someone else. At one point I was venting about the stress of home buying and the anxiety I was having because it was my first time and she said "well you signed up for this" which is INCREDIBLY unprofessional. She was not very responsive via emails or texts, there were many houses we didn't get to see before they were sold. She also was not present at our closing and we haven't heard from her since we moved in- no congratulations or check up, nothing. She seems to have gotten too comfortable with her position and is unprofessional and not serious enough to find you the home of your dreams - I wanted to warn any other first time home buyers to go with someone else.

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda was truly excellent to work with! In our initial meeting, she outlined everything we needed to know about the process. She had in-depth knowledge of the entire region. She was extremely responsive and patient with all of our inquiries, and she was always positive and friendly. We ended up with the perfect home in less than one month from start to finish!

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda was great to work with. She met with us on several occasions on short notice and worked hard to find us the right home. With the market as hot as it was, living three and one half hours away made it particularly challenging for her.

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda is the total "buyer and seller" agent package. In early 2018 we lived in the Midwest, wanted to buy a home in the Bangor, Maine area and had to do it long distance. Linda helped us do that. Four years later we decided to take advantage of the market and downsize. Linda helped us do that. She was instrumental in making both events very successful. She began each event by truly listening to our desires, expectations, and budget constraints. Then she went to work with the absolute drive and determination required to research, identify, and present solutions to meet our expectations. Her knowledge of the real estate market, the buyer/seller process and local area/economic environments ensured her success. We selected one of the homes she found for us during our first house hunting trip to Maine. Our downsize experience was a duration of three days from day of listing to contract. Failure is not an option for her. Linda is personable, realistic, honest, and a nice person. She is the ultimate professional. I would not hesitate to enlist her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone, either buyer or seller.

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda Gardiner took care of our family a few years ago when purchasing our first home. She explained everything and took the time to ensure we found the ideal home for our family.As a military family we recently had to relocate and go through the selling process for the first time as well. We didnt want anyone besides Linda to take care of us and she absolutely did. Linda Gardiner is; personable, professional, and knowledgeable. We hope to work with her again and highly recommend anyone in the market to utilize her.

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda worked with us for nearly two years on a house that belonged to my late sister. It was a difficult process with a lot of crazy plot twists. Linda was a class act throughout the process and never pressured us in any way. You will not be sorry if you work with Linda. She was the only stability during a very difficult time. Our family is so thankful to have found her!

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda was extremely personable and knowledgeable to work with. She even took a lot of time out of her day to drive us around the local area before we even moved there when we were considering moving to the area. So we of course went with her when we began house shopping. She did several over the phone tours with us when we were trying to buy a house before we moved up there. She was then with us every step of the way when we found a home even when we began running into issues which always seems to occur in the house buying process, no fault of her own. She has great recommendations for other people to work with in an area that we weren't familiar with such as a mortgage lender, home insurance, and local repair men which we all loved working with as well. I will continue to go to her for advice and local recommendations.

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda was very helpful, especially as we bought the house from out of state. She took care of everything that needed tp be done. She attended the walk through and kept us fully informed every step of the way. If her schedule made it impossible for her to attend an event - the home inspection, for example - she made sure another agent from her office was able to attend. We were altogether satisfied with Linda and her services.

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda helped my husband and I every step of the way. It was our first time buying a home and admittedly I had my fair share of questions. Linda was kind and patient in answering them all. We truly would not have been able to buy our dream home without her help. She referred us to so many great businesses, mortgage companies, and helped guide us in such a way that I would recommend her to everyone! Don't hesitate to reach out to her, I wouldn't have changed having her as our realtor for anything. She truly is a gem in the real estate business.

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda helped make my first time buying a house, especially in a difficult market, a tremendously easy experience. She is very knowledgeable about all of the ins and outs that go into the home buying process from beginning even until after closing, including a trusted contractor for just about any job you could need done to your property. She's great!

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda was absolutely amazing! I was a first time home buyer, anxious to get out on my own. So, I would have jumped into the first thing I saw. But she was so knowledgeable, and caring about making sure we found the right fit for me and my family! I could not have asked for a better person to be working with me on this. I am truly thankful for everything!!

ZillowVERIFIEDWorked with Linda to find a new home in the area. Being from out of state, luck connected us and I was very happy to find Linda had a good deal of experience. She was able to help my partner and I through the whole process of seeing a home, getting our offer approved, and all the little details that lead up to closing. Her knowledge about the area made me feel comfortable with my decision and it was a great experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot say enough about how amazing Linda was to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable, and as a first time home buyer, she took the time to guide me along the daunting process of buying a home. She is well connected and assisted me with the financial piece all the way down to utility providers. She is a true professional in her field and I would recommend anyone in the market to purchase a home, has to work with Linda. Absolutely amazing.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I were planning a big move from Texas to Maine and knew we wanted to purchase a new home in Bangor. It was a scary undertaking and as it was our first home buying experience, we didnt really know where to start. Linda was the first realtor to respond to our inquiries and we couldnt be happier with how it all turned out. Linda was always responsive and patient with us. She made sure to explain everything in a way that newbies like us would understand about the process. She was willing to show us houses remotely and braved the cold and snow to make sure we were on the right time line to have a house in the final stages of purchase once we arrived in Maine. Linda was always honest with us about each house we saw and would let us know if it was not something we should pursue. We finally found the perfect fit and Linda was with us the whole way! We are so thankful that she responded to our initial inquiry and cant thank her enough for helping us find our new home!

ZillowVERIFIEDHonestly, I cannot say enough positive things about Linda! We recently relocated from out of state, and Linda has been our touchstone through it all. She was always extremely responsive and willing to do facetime tours during the holiday season. When we traveled to Maine to tour in person in early 2021, we found our DREAM HOME thanks to Linda! Even in this insane market, she was able to use her vast experience and contacts to find our hidden gem. Additionally, she made the purchase seamless for us, as we were still out of state on closing day. Do not hesitate; if anyone can work miracles in this market, it is Linda!

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first time home buyer, I was relieved to have Linda as my Realtor. She truly made the process simple and stress free by guiding my husband and I through each step until closing. Throughout the entire transaction she looked out for our best interest and served as our trusted advisor. She was always east to contact and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we may have had. I would encourage everyone to use her as their realtor, her extensive experience and wealth of knowledge makes the process a breeze!

ZillowVERIFIEDVery poor response time and little sense of urgency. As an out of state buyer I felt Linda didnt care about me as a client and would often take too long to gather information. In my experience with her there also seemed to be a lack of communication between her and the other agent. I would recommend going with a different agent if you can.

ZillowVERIFIEDLinda made selling a challenging home so easy. She was a great guide along the way when we had some interesting offers and ultimately sold the home before our goal of December. She was incredibly responsive, practical, and straight-forward and made the process for these first-time sellers smooth.

Review for Member: Linda N Gardiner
ZillowVERIFIEDAbout 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 very 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 very 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!

ZillowVERIFIEDOur working experience with Linda was exceptional! We needed housing in Maine (we live in Connecticut) for a second home. She was able to find properties matching our needs and she spent hours coordinating showings that would fit our schedules. She knew the market well and was well versed in the neighborhoods that would be suitable for us. She took my calls at all hours of the day and all days of the week! I couldn't imagine getting this service from another agent. When we look for our next home in Maine we will certainly consider her for that process too!
