Blake Gardner grew up in Fairhaven on Sconticut Neck Rd ( an original "necker") until moving to East Fairhaven. He is a Fairhaven High graduate. He also spent a lot of time especially during the summer at his grandparents' home in Mattapoisett Village. He has very fond memories of places such as the Town Wharf, The Slip, Oxford Creamery, Ned's Point as well as "quahogging" off Camp Massasoit. Blake spent over 18 years growing a career in new vehicle automotive retail for companies in the Boston market including Herb Chambers and Prime Motor Group. Professional practice in sales, commercial truck sales, finance & insurance, and General Management. The experience Blake gained in these roles includes marketing, personal finance, credit, negotiation, acquiring and managing inventory, communication, finding solutions, and serving clients and employees. His passion for the car business was building teams with great character, no experience and training for skill while executing a process that changed client's perception of buying a car one deal at a time. After living in FT. Lauderdale for almost 3 years, Blake came to realize how fortunate we are to live on the Southcoast with its character, history, and spectacular coastlines. His interest in real estate grew further after navigating the sale of his first home while purchasing new construction and being new parents. Blake has a passion for unique and historic homes and recently completed an expansive renovation of an 1898 Dutch Colonial in the West End of New Bedford. He prides himself on being a great listener providing clients with high attention to detail and creating value for both buyers and sellers. When he isn't working for his clients or watching his kid's sports, he can be found on Buzzards Bay boating and fishing (southwest winds permitting). Blake Currently lives in North Dartmouth with his wife Christie and two daughters, Madison, and Mila
