Prudential Gardner Realtors

As the #1 real estate company in the Metro New Orleans, Southeast Louisiana and Southern Mississippi Region, Prudential Gardner Realtors has a long historical tradition of excellence. Gertrude Gardner Realtors, founded by Gertrude Gardner in 1943, through her commitment to integrity, reliability, exceeding customers' expectations, and always practicing "The Golden Rule," attracted many other quality real estate companies such as Martha Ann Samuels Ltd to join Gertrude Gardner. In 2001 the largest merger of all took place when another quality locally-owned regional company, Prudential Louisiana Properties, merged with Gertrude Gardner Realtors to form Prudential Gardner Realtors, to become the Gulf South largest real estate firm. Glenn M. Gardner, President of Operations, remarks, "over 60 years later, Prudential Gardner Realtors carries on this fine tradition of outstanding service and results while remaining home grown, locally owned and internationally known!" Barbara Blades, President of Residential Services adds, "we have the most comprehensive new and innovative ways to do real estate today. "Whatever real estate needs you may have," says Norris Songe, President of Financial Services, "we have the most convenient one-stop shop of full services available to our Customers and Sales Associates. "We also have the most professional and experienced Sales Associates and Support Staff in the business, making us more successful each year," says Sharon Gardner, Vice-President of Corporate Services. Today, our company has 28 locations and over 1,300 Sales Associates. Prudential Gardner Realtors offers Residential, Commercial, Builder/Developer/New Homes', R.E.O. and loss mitigation plus individual and corporate relocation, Property Management and National/International Referral Network services. The company is ranked in the top 50 largest real estate companies in the nation and in the top 20 largest Prudential Real Estate Affiliates in its multi-national network. Prudential Gardner Realtors has also developed a family of services for our customers and Associates, so they can enjoy the added convenience and excellent value of one-stop shopping for home loans, title closings and home warranties. These affiliated companies include Best Mortgage Resource powered by Countrywide Bank and Best Title Resource. Prudential Financial's strong commitment to the well being of Southeast Louisiana and Mississippi's Gulf Coast residents was strongly demonstrated when on a national basis it contributed over $5,000,000 to non-profit organizations for our area's recovery. Prudential Gardner Realtors continues to work together with local and national leaders who are involved in the rebuilding process after Hurricane Katrina. Southeast Louisiana (Metro New Orleans, Baton Rouge, etc.) and Southern Mississippi are all called "Home" for our real estate family for over 1300 Sales Associates and support staff and is a great place to live and work.
