G. J. Gardner Homes offers the complete package
G. J. Gardner Homes has now strengthened its local service offer even further with the appointment of local financial adviser Louise Ledger to its affiliated Onion Home Loans and Insurance Company.
Onion was established three years ago to assist clients wishing to build with all their financial requirements.
Local G. J. Gardner Homes franchisee, Mike Fraser, has witnessed first hand how effective the service can be.
Louise has managed to get finance deals in place where traditional funding lines had proved difficult.
‘‘Our job is to make building a home as easy and stress-free a process as possible for our clients so for us it was a logical extension of the services we offered.’’
Onion provides a brokering service between the banks and the clients and, because of their relationships with the financial institutions, they will ensure they get the best possible terms, which clients will often not get by going direct.
Onion also manages the administration process throughout the build, thereby minimising any hassles or administrative work required by the client. Again this helps makes the process as stressfree as possible.
‘‘Add to this that there is no charge to the client for this service, it really is a ‘no-brainer’ as far as we are concerned,’’ said Mike.
Although primarily focusing on new-build finance, the Onion team also do all general finance and insurance requirements.
If you are looking to re-mortgage a property or need additional mortgage facilities then they are definitely worth a call.
This is just another phase in the growth of the local G. J. Gardner Homes franchise.
With three offices and now four showhomes spread conveniently throughout the Canterbury North region, prospective clients certainly have the opportunity to make easy contact with the G. J. Gardner Homes team and to ‘‘touch and feel’’ actual examples of their product.
Mike commented that G. J. Gardner Homes has an extensive range of house plans to suit the needs of all kinds of families and lifestyles.
‘‘What makes them different is that our plans don’t just look good on paper, they actually work incredibly well in practice, designed to maximise living spaces and optimise living flow,’’ he added.
If a client would like a unique design then the G. J. Gardner team are more than happy to modify a standard plan or indeed do a complete new design.
Alternatively, G. J. Gardner is happy to build other designs and to work with your architect or designer to achieve the most costeffective solution to intricate designs or challenging sections.
Simply bring in your wish list and see how flexible G. J. Gardner can be.
They strive to bring unbeatable service and value to the Canterbury region. Franchisees Andrew McCarthy and Mike Fraser both say that the company vision - ‘‘to have every customer recommend us to their closest friend’’ - very much aligns with their own personal philosophy on customer service.
‘‘We pride ourselves on the service delivered to our customers, ensuring quality workmanship and a quality end-product.’’
