Cindy is a "New Yawka" transplant who has called Gainesville home for the last 13 years.  If you are looking for a boring experience, then keep looking because Cindy is anything but boring. High energy, informative, caring, and most importantly, armed with a sense of humor, Cindy will work with you every step along the way during and even after your closing. She is the only Realtor® in town who carries a mini-business card that reads, "When this CRAZY market changes I can afford a larger card."

 

"I help people find homes or sell their existing homes to assist them in moving their lives forward," says Cindy. Sometimes she finds homes for four-legged friends, like Bailey, a 5 year old Sheltie she rescued last year (whose former family lost their home to foreclosure), Benjamin, a now 12 year old cat adopted from the Humane Society, Talley O'Malley, a 4 year old orange cat rescued by her Vet and adopted at 10 weeks old and, lastly, Floozy, a cat that was left behind from the previous homeowner 2 years ago where Cindy currently resides. Cindy is aware "families" come in all colors, shapes and sizes and she is honored to work with all of them.

 

Cindy holds the prestigious GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute) and CSP (Certified New Homes Sales Professional) designations. She also holds the AHWD (At Home With Diversity) designation and is passionate about Fair Housing and "Home Ownership For All" (which is proudly displayed on her license plate).

 

Here's what her customers say about her:

 

"You were always on top of the small details that, at the end of the day, make a real estate transaction successful.    When the deal was about to die, you looked for solutions outside the box."    - Jorge and Maria S.

"As first time home buyers we needed a realtor we could trust. Cindy certainly was the one! Cindy, Thank you so much for your incredible support on this adventure of finding and buying our very first home. It could have been the start of sleepless nights and marital conflicts, but thanks to your guidance and your wonderful advice it was a pleasant experience." - Andreas and Stephanie

 

"Cindy is outstanding. She is attentive in a sincere, business-like manner which was greatly appreciated. She will extend herself to stay in touch. In fact, we used Skype from France to actively acquire the home that we desired. She gets you what you need, when you need it. She knows the market well. In addition, she has a wonderful network of local contacts for just about any need. She comes across as a reliable friend who has your concerns in mind." - Claire G. and Stuart B.

 

"Thank you for making our home here in Gainesville a reality. You were terrific to work with and went the extra mile(s) to help us with our home inspections, closing, and so much more." - Jeff H.

 "You are an incredible letter-writer and honest realtor."  - Diane Childs

"Enjoyed the process very much. Cindy was great." - Bruce

 

(From a Seller of a short sale)..."Thank you, Cindy, for sticking with us to the end! We could not have completed our short sale transaction without your diligence, professionalism, integrity and competence. As we live in California, it was essential to a have a Realtor whom we could trust and who would advocate for us until it was time to hand the keys over to the new owner, and you did just that! You have helped us turn a page and for that, we are extremely grateful."  - J. and P. Patterson

 

"Cindy, we can't thank you enough for all your help in our first home buying process. Your referrals and advice were all very helpful and we appreciated it so much."  - D. and L. Blanton 

 

"Potential home buyers should know that their expectations will be exceeded if they have the good fortune to work with Cindy. At no time, whatsoever, did I feel pressured in a manner that we're all familiar with when purchasing a new car. Instead, Cindy took the time to explain "how things work" in an entirely professional, courteous, yet totally relaxed and comfortable manner. Her demeanor inspires trust and confidence immediately, and her expertise in real estate is highly appreciated by folks like myself who are new to making one of the most important decisions of their lives." - Joe Perlette

 

"A note about this deal and your performance. I believe that professionals need to be on top of their game all the time and always looking for innovation and technology to grow business. Your communication with me after your astute finding of my posting on Craig's List and putting the two sellers together was great and an example of progressive thinking. This made money for you and your company that otherwise would not have happened. Also, staying up late last night to get the paperwork in perfect order to make the transaction go smoothly showed lots of dedication to your customers." - Jim Pledger

 

"Cindy, I can't thank you enough for helping me get a house! I know I'm small fish compared to most people that are looking to buy, but you treated me like I was looking for a seven figure home. Thank you for sticking with me." - Nick Miller


"Whenever I had a question or concern Cindy was always available and addressed my concerns. Awesome to work with." - Traci Taylor

 

"Cindy was wonderful...always willing to help and always lots of fun. Any problems that arose were solved very quickly." - Judy Catches

 

"Cindy did an awesome job helping me find the perfect home in the location and for the price I wanted. She's great!" - Leigh Williams

 

"Cindy was SPECTACULAR in every way, a real estate agent like no other; she orchestrated a closing on our home in what everyone was referring to as the quickest closing in HISTORY. Thank you, Cindy Harrington, thank you Bosshardt - we will absolutely rely on you again for our future real estate and property management needs!" - Maria Croke
