"Brian helped me sell my home in one of the most difficult market conditions Cleveland has seen. He stuck with me to be sure that he found excellent buyers for a smooth transaction. I received updates on showings and inquires to constantly keep me posted and he never failed to either answer my calls or return them in a prompt manner. I will recommend Brian to any friend or family member as he is the most professional, tenacious, and accommodating realtor I have ever worked with!

Thank you SO much Brian for getting my house sold at such a critical time!!"

Adrienne Randol, March 2008

"I have a very busy work schedule and often I'm out of town or out of state. Imagine trying to sell a house in those circumstances. Having a realtor helped out a lot, and Brian kept on top of things for me. I was comfortable and confident enough with Brian that I essentially let him handle it without worry when I was busy in Michigan, Wisconson or New Jersey. Brian and I could work as well face to face as we could via voicemail communication. It was a bad seller's market at the time I sold my house, but Brian's honest advice in staying competitive with the market helped me to sell, when so many houses couldn't be sold. One more item: When Brian had a long needed vacation, he was courteous enough to "assign" me another associate who had the same interest in me that Brian had, even though we would only work together for a week. I thought that was pretty exceptional."

“For over two years the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce looked for the "perfect" building to house the Chamber office. We had so many parameters -- location and cost being the two biggest ones. Brian Salem did a terrific job helping us to scout out possibilities and showed tremendous patience in dealing with the Chamber's Real Estate Committee. He offered sound advice throughout the process and worked well with the committee members. I believe he did a very good job negotiating for the Chamber and I would  feel very comfortable recommending him to anyone looking to purchase a home or even a commercial property."

“Brian was wonderful to work with on the selling and closing of this home. He responded to all our calls immediately and was most helpful with any questions we had. He went above and beyond in assisting us with anything that was requested of him. We would highly recommend Brian to anyone, and truly appreciated working with him."

Nicole Green, Hospice of the Western Reserve, September 2007

“I met Brian while looking at one of his listings.  I had a great first impression of him and I instantly knew I wanted to work with him.  He's such a patient and pleasant man.  For the next 3 months Brian guided me through the entire process and answered the millions of questions I had.  I truly enjoyed working with him, seeing the sincerity he expresses and the pride he takes in his career.  And thanks to his guidance and diligence, at the age of 28, I became the proud owner of my first home!  Thanks Brian!”

Janet Smith, August 2007

“This was our first homebuying experience.  We cannot say enough about how wonderful Brian was to us throughout the process.  Since neither of us are originally from Cleveland, we weren't sure what suburb we were interested in.  Brian was so patient and helpful as we looked in suburb after suburb before finding our perfect home.  We looked at alot of houses but Brian remained patient with us!  Each week, Brian contacted us with new homes that fit our specifications and he was easy to contact and set appointments with.  When we finally decided on a home to purchase, Brian explained every step of the process and made the whole process less intimidating for us.  We would recommend Brian to anyone looking for a home.”  

Mike and Staci Szugye, August 2007

"This being my first home after making my first big move away from my hometown, Brian made the process very calming. He worked with me thru several different homes, even braving a very heavy snow to show me several homes. He was extremely attentive during the process and ended up finding the perfect home for me. Brian was referred to me by previous buyers and you can rest assured I will be referring people I know looking for a house to Brian."

Joseph Basden, May 2007

"As first time home buyers, my boyfriend and I were new to the entire process. I happened to cross Brian's number through the Realty One website, and immediately was put into the good hands of Becky. She took the time to listen to what I was looking for, and we were going through homes by the next week. Everything was quick, easy, and very professional. We couldn't have stumbled upon a better realtor. I've already begun recommending Brian's services to friends, and will make a point to keep his business information to contact him again when we go to sell our place in a few years!"

Nicole Riva, April, 2007

“Moving from Charlotte, NC and buying a home in Cleveland seemed like a daunting task. That was until we found Brian. After our first meeting, we knew he and his team would clear the path to an easy closing. He changed his schedule to accommodate our trips from Charlotte. We had issues arise throughout the process, but Brian's team would step in and resolve them. We could not have asked for better communication. We were constantly updated through phone calls and emails. Rest assured, any real estate transactions in the future will only take place with Brian as our agent. I have already and will continue to refer my friends to Brian."

Keith Garrett and Chris Richardson, January 2007

"This was the third home we have sold, and by far our experience with Brian was superior to anything we had experienced prior. Our calls and emails were promptly returned. The overall experience was far above our expectations, and we are very serious about offering our opinion about Brian and his team to anyone who might be interested in the excellent level of service and follow through that we enjoyed."

Bill Powers, December 2006

"I was very happy with Brian Salem and his entire team at Realty One. Everyone who was involved in this transaction was professional and understanding of my needs. Brian did not make me feel like "just another client". I felt he was aware of my personal interests and did his best to accommodate me. My hats off to everyone, and I look forward to working with you again in the future."

Ronald Klimko, October, 2006

“I have purchased two homes with the assistance of Brian, the first was my first purchase ever and Brian made it so easy I decided to purchase an investment property! Brian has always made me feel that my business is important to him regardless of the dollar amount of my purchase. He has consistently responded to my phone calls and emails in a timely manner and negotiated diligently on my behalf. I have yet to put a home on the market myself but when that time comes I will certainly contact Brian again. My fiance and I have recently decided to purchase our first home together and Brian was the first person I called. I highly recommend hiring Brian to represent anyone interested in receiving a top notch home buying/selling experience and will refer all of my friends and family to him as well."

Travis Wachter, October 2006

We live in Columbia, South Carolina. Last spring we found ourselves with a big problem. My husband's mom and dad needed to move out of their home because of health reasons. I flew up to Cleveland to help with the details. Time was at a premium as I only had two weeks before I was to return to South Carolina.
I contacted Brian and before I left for home I had an offer on the house. But that wasn't the end because then all the paperwork had to be done long distance. Brian got me everything I needed to close on the house.
It was a very trying time for our family. Brian helped make it easier and I thank him for that."

Barbara Talley, July 2006

"I've lived in the Cleveland area for a couple of years and spent a majority of the time renting a home in Lakewood. Soon enough, I was in the market for my first house and luckily Brian Salem was referred by a close friend. The process of buying a home can be daunting without someone guiding the way. In a matter of days Brian found a terrific home I had been looking for and was able to negotiate the perfect team to make the dream possible. Since then, I've passed on the good word about Brian's excellent market knowledge and amazing service (he returned my phone call on a holiday!) I will definitely be using Brian again in my search for a second purchase!"

Cody Tyler, July, 2006

"After finding the perfect house, Brian did some great negotiating, and, I bought my new home at a very fair price. On the day of the closing, we had an issue with our plumbing--it was gone! I called Brian in a panic, and within a matter of minutes, he stopped the closing process, spoke with the seller, and managed to get all the copper plumbing replaced at no cost to me. Between the closing of my old home and the purchase of my new one, things couldn't have been handled any smoother. If you're looking to buy or sell, I would highly recommend Brian and his team!

Roland G. Rehburg, March 2006

"After saving for a few years, I was finally ready to buy my first home. I had no idea where to even begin the process of finding the right place for me. Brian was more than willing to show me numerous listings that fit my criteria. In addition, Brian was always easy to contact and extremely prompt in following up any requests. I'm sure that without his help I wouldn't have been able to find such a great place to live. I would absolutely refer Brian to any of my close friends and family."

Andrew Powers, March 2006
