Robbie Gardner brings more than 24 years of experience in banking and financial services, including six years in the mortgage industry. Serving clients throughout Northwest North Carolina and Southwest Virginia, Robbie believes a great mortgage experience starts with education, communication, and a well-defined plan.
Rather than simply quoting interest rates, Robbie takes an advisory approach to one of the most important financial decisions his clients will make. He focuses on understanding each client’s goals, clearly explaining their options, and structuring financing that makes sense for their unique situation. Through his H.O.M.E. Method™, Robbie emphasizes preparation and planning, including fully underwritten preapprovals when appropriate, so buyers can shop with confidence and compete more effectively in today’s market.
His expertise includes helping first-time homebuyers navigate the mortgage process, structuring financing for move-up buyers, and developing solutions for borrowers with more complex financial situations. Robbie has extensive experience with Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA financing, as well as helping buyers evaluate seller concessions, temporary rate buydowns, and other strategies to improve affordability. He also works closely with real estate professionals to help position buyers for success through early financial planning and comprehensive preapproval strategies.
A proud resident of Mount Airy, North Carolina, Robbie and his wife, Jennifer, have built their life there while raising their two children, Jackson and Camille. When he’s not helping clients, you’ll find him spending time with family, playing golf, boating at the lake, and staying active in the community. He is passionate about supporting local youth and athletics and has coached numerous teams and served on a variety of community boards over the years.
Family, faith, and community are important parts of Robbie’s life, and he believes the relationships we build and the impact we make on others are what matter most. His goal goes beyond helping someone obtain a mortgage. He strives to be a trusted resource for clients and real estate partners, simplifying complex mortgage topics, providing straightforward advice, and helping people make informed decisions long after the transaction is complete.
