"Sadly when I went to a second mortgage company , I was given a name and I tried that person, but she did not make me feel that she was working for me and kept showing me above my budget for homes! I got tired of her then I let her go,THEN I CALLED SIMONE! and I WISH I went with her when I started to look at homes! If you get a chance to go to her home buying class , GO!!! She makes it so so much fun learning ! and at the end of the day you are much wiser on how to go about in buying a home! You want a new house itch!..... If you start to get one about a new car go wash yours first! Back to Simone, she is very smart and she makes you feel at home when you are with her, the house I bought we stayed for over a hour for me to look around and at that time I was thinking about buying it, she did not rush me, she pointed out the good and the bad, what I was looking for, is this the house, I wanted outside city limits. If I was not feeling it , we can go look at more homes. It was like having "

"This is now our second experience working with Simone on purchasing a home and once again it was nothing short of amazing! Even though the pandemic created very interesting dynamics to viewing properties Simone made sure we had adequate amount of listings to view. She has worked with us previously and knew our guidelines and standards and worked very hard to make sure the properties met our expectations. Simone was always available with our busy and difficult schedules and traveled a great distance on numerous occasions to show homes, be there for inspections, and closing. At any point in time I had questions or concerns or needed to communicate with the builders she was always at my beck and call! Simone will always be near and dear to the Brooks family and if they need shall arise we will definitely be once again a returning customer. Thank you and god bless!"

"Simone's professionalism and knowledge is impeccable. I cannot say enough kind words about her and how she empowered my family and I throughout the entire process. As a first-time home buyer, I'll admit I was nervous about the process, but Simone provided a sense of peace that all would work out well. My family and I are enjoying settling into our new home. We are forever grateful for all your help, Simone. Thank you!"

  -Christy Ward, Client

"She really helped me being a first time home buyer. I learned a lot and appreciate everything you have helped me do in this process. I am so happy right now!"

  -Ebony Dillard, Client

"Simone is goal driven, hard working, and knowledgeable about the home buying process. She understood my desire for homeownership and made sure I recieved the best price. She worked hard to keep my lenders on track with my desires. She guided me through the homebuying process and ensured I was comfortable with my lender. I highly recommend her to any first-time homebuyer or saler looking for an agent that goes the extra mile. She will guide you through the process and she will make sure you accomplish your dream. Thanks Simone!!!!"

  -Katrina Brown, Client

"Working with Simone made it a very easy process to buy my first home. She is very kind and up front. There were a couple of homes I was looking at, and she helped me find the one that best fit me and my needs. I felt very comfortable asking questions and she had very quick, honest responses. I would highly recommend her to any friends or family searching for their own home. Thank you,"

  -Miranda Igl, Client

"Relocating to a new state is stressful, to say the least. Simone was nothing short of amazing and was able to set my mind at ease. She was helpful, knowledgeable, responsive, and very personable. Simone has a genuine desire to help people and it shows. I would highly recommend Simone for any and all of your real estate needs."

  -Nicole Humphries, Client

"Simone did a great job walking me through the process of home buying. She was very accessible no matter when I reached out to her. She began by giving me tips to improve my credit store and explained the process clearly. Her slogan, "it doesn't have to look like its coming together before it comes together" made much sense through the process. In the end, It came together. I am very appreciative for her service to me. Thanks again Simone!"

  -Bobby Wilson, Client

"We absolutely loved working with Simone!!! There were several obstacles that we encountered getting our new home, but Simone was there every step of the way and fought for us. Anytime we needed her; be it a question or concern, she was quick to respond. Simone makes dreams come true! We've already referred her to close friends of ours in their search for a new coastal home."

  -Judy Lane, Client

"My entire experience with Simone from initiation to completion was exceptional. Simone anticipated needs I didn't know I would have and always answered the unasked questions. Never late. Never slow to respond. Reassuring while also providing thoughtful and realistic suggestions. She showed tenacity when other parties were not as responsive while assisting me through the relationships she's already established and continues to maintain. What she didn't know about the area I was interested in, she learned, and then educated me. She then patiently and proactively walked me through the buying process without ever making me feel I was being bothersome. I would NEVER consider using another realtor for any personal or business real estate needs."

  -Kimberly Evans, Client

"I really enjoyed working with Simone Gardner. As a first time buyer she made this experience easy as possible. She was always there for me when I needed and explain things to me that I didn't understand. She was very professional and she did things that was in my best interest. I would recommend Simone Gardner to anyone. Again I would like to THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYONE. THIS WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE THAT I'M GLAD THAT I SHARED IT WITH YOU."

  -Erica Dixon Howard, Client

"Simone was great! She was always wherever we needed her to be! When it came to picking out our home, Simone helped us identify our needs and encouraged us not to settle. Great person to work with, my wife and I are thankful we had Simone on our side!"

  -Brian Cooper, Client

"..all I could think about was MY house. I sent Simone a message about clarifying some questions for me and then after the answers I could make a decision about an offer. At 7:51am I got a message about answers and before 2pm, the contract was sent. It was now that I was able to see Simone's true shining colors. She was quick, up handling business before I was awake, making deadlines for me so that I could be in the house by my desired date, advised me when I asked for counsel, and scheduled things that I didn't know needed to be scheduled. She was a first time home owners dream come true. I was able to say I don't understand, break this down for me; "if this was you, would you sign"; and "can we tweak this?" I slept as easy as possible during this process because I knew Simone and her team was on it. The waiting period was the worse for me. I am a worrier and there were days right up until close when I would message Simone and say "what should I be doing? What are we waiting on?""

  -Ebonye Brim-Kinte, Client

"I truly enjoyed working with Ms. Gardner. She was very pleasant to work with and knowledgeable of today's market and what it entails to prepare for and buy a home!"

"Simone is the greatest. One would think they are her one and only client. She is so kind, considerate, listens to your wants and needs, and sets out to find them for you. Simone stays in contact with you to give updates on the property or properties you may be interested in. She is always concerned and very considerate of your needs and wants. I just can't say enough kind things about her. She has been/is a blessing to and for me."

  -Barbara Thompson, Client

"4,000 characters for this review is not enough to explain how much Simone Gardner helped my wife and I. There was never a point where she was not available for any questions that we had during our home search. Simone's patience and business acumen were one of a kind in our minds. Trust me, I was not being over zealous when I made the rating or by having every single box checked below. If you give her a chance, I'm overly confident that you will be writing the same review. God bless!!"

"Simone was the best! We were looking to buy a second home in New Bern and Simone was right there and ready. Even when we came all the way from Raleigh on a Sunday last minute, Simone was right there waiting for us and showed us several places that day. If you are looking for someone dependable and ready to help at any second then Simone is the realtor for you!!! Thank you Simone for everything you did to help us find the right place for us!!"

"The day this happened my life changed!!! ?? I never thought that this would happen for me! Years of wanting it but never putting in any work to get it, had me at a standstill! After everything this year has thrown at me and my family I definitely didn’t see it coming, not this year, BUT GOD!!! ?????? On this journey I was referred to a new family member (insider ??) Simone E. Gardner my realtor! When I tell y’all she is awesome! From the moment I spoke with her on the phone I knew she was the one! Not even knowing each other we laughed and joked! We told her our vision for the home we wanted and after just ONE day of going out looking at homes I found my house!!! ???? I’m telling y’all her and her whole team is AWESOME!!! Stop doubting yourself, if I can do it, you can do it too!!! Inbox her and get your journey to homeownership started TODAY!!!!! ????????"

  -Ashley Mattocks, Client

"Absolutely, positively and amazing person and realtor. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Simone really went above and beyond for my family. Answered her phone any time of the day and night. Drove over an hour on multiple occasions to show my husband and I homes. Anytime we were having issues with anything she was quickly on them and getting the issues resolved. I definitely recommend Simone and as long as she continues her journey as a realtor she will always have our business."

  -Allison Brooks, Client

"If you are looking for a realtor, who's passionate, integral, willing to walk you through every step of the process, and is going to do everything in her power to make sure that you get your true hearts desire in your purchase, Simone Gardner is the realtor for you! Without hesitation, from the first phone call, she was an active listener, concerned about what we wanted, and started the journey of our house search...IMMMEDIATELY!!! She believes in her customers being treated fairly, also being well informed of the process by answering every question no matter the time of the day/hour, and her staff works with her diligently! She is what we would call our "PUSHER" b/c she was willing to fight for us every step of the way. Simone is respectful, timely, a hard worker and more importantly, she just didn't become our realtor, she became family!"
