About Murray Gardner

Murray grew up on the beach in Newcastle, Australia. Out of High School he entered the Royal Australian Air Force Academy, graduating with a degree in Physics and a Masters in Aviation in 1980. For the next 15 years he flew F/A-18 fighter aircraft operationally, including a five year tour of duty flying with the US Navy. During this time, he visited Park City on vacation, fell in love with the town upon seeing Main St on Day One, and purchased a condo on Day Two. He left the military in 1993, joined Cathay Pacific Airways in Hong Kong as a pilot, and has since flown the Lockheed L-1011, the Boeing 747 and Boeing 777. He has also been responsible for negotiating labor contracts on behalf of the pilots of the airline since joining. In 2005 the stars aligned and Murray, his wife Felicity, and their two children Alexia and Nick moved to Park City full time. They established Gardner Group, a high end residential construction Project Leadership and Interior Design company in 2011, and have had six homes featured in the Park City Area Showcase of homes. In 2017, his first full year as an Agent, Murray became the fastest capping new agent his market center has ever seen. He was also named Rookie of the Year that year. By 2020 he was the #3 KW Agent in Utah and #30 Nationally. Murray brings a wealth of real estate and negotiating experience to the table, and prides himself on his organizational skills and work ethic. For relaxation, he enjoys skiing, mountain biking, hiking, sailing and go-kart racing.
