Business Philosophy Take care of people the way you would want to be taken care of. Jeff Gardner has lived by this motto for over 20 years. He learned it while in the United States Air Force as a Recruiter in the same markets he currently works . The values the Air Force instilled upon me still live in him today: Integrity First, Service before self, and Excellence in all we do. These values translate directly in to the Real Estate industry today. Gardner Group Gardner Group is a husband and wife team, Jeff and Donna Gardner. By working with a team you have two people working for you, not just one. The Gardner Group focuses on helping you get the best house for the best price for you. Our approach is it is about YOU, not US. Jeff and Donna's common sense approach to business and real estate gives their clients the comfort and confidence they need when making their informed real estate decision. Areas of Expertise Military First time home buyers Relocation New Construction Buyers and Sellers Down-sizing Special needs About Jeff Gardner Having been in Real Estate a short time, Jeff is very lucky that he can rely on the training he has received while in the Air Force. Being a Veteran, Jeff has not only been through the VA process of buying a home, he has also helped others through this process. Jeff has given briefs to military members on the home buying process and has had the Illinois Department of Housing Administration brief with him about the Welcome Home Heros Program the State of Illinois is currently offering to current military, Reservist, National Guard and Veterans. He has also completed or have in the process Short Sales, Fannie Mae Foreclosures, Cash Sales, and Land Deals. Jeff feels his greatest asset is in his preserverence and negotiating to make the deal happen. Many times you have to think outside the box to complete a deal that might otherwise not happen. If you want to buy a house and someone wants to sell a house, then we just need to meet in the middle and make it happen. Community Involvement Member of the Chebanse American Legion.
