In the latest episode of Housing Matters, we sit down with Ed Gardner, owner and broker of Gardner Real Estate Group, one of Portland’s most respected real estate firms. With over 35 years of experience, Ed has been at the forefront of Maine’s housing market, navigating everything from single-family home sales to large-scale development projects.
Ed shares his incredible journey into real estate, starting from his first property purchase at just 17 years old to leading major developments, including a ten-story office building on Congress Street, affordable housing initiatives, and a 160-unit condominium project. We also discuss the biggest challenges facing housing development in Maine, from rising construction costs and labor shortages to regulatory hurdles and zoning changes.
Beyond real estate, Ed is a dedicated community leader. He co-founded the Equality Community Center and has played key roles in organizations like Greater Portland Landmarks and Friends of the Eastern Prom. His passion for historic preservation, affordable housing, and city planning makes for a compelling conversation about the future of Portland’s housing market.
Tune in for an insightful discussion on market trends, policy changes, and valuable advice for homebuyers, sellers, and investors navigating today’s evolving real estate landscape.
