Brian Black

While interviewing realtors to help me sell my house, I met Brian. He provided me with real-time current data for the houses in my surrounding area. He was analytical and mathematical. Once the decision was made to move forward the house was sold in 4 days. If I had the choice again I would choose Brian.

Working with Brian was great! Brian was able to set up house visits whenever I had time to see a house. It could be during the morning, day, or night. He was very flexible with me and worked with my schedule. We worked together for about 5 months. He did not rush me to buy a house that I did not like or when I thought I liked a house he gave me pros and cons. He even set up house visits multiple times so I was able to show my family many different houses. He was very patient with me and I appreciated all of his feed back. I also learned a lot working with Brian. He would point out potential hazards on homes and was able to tell me if the house was treated for termites amongst other things. I also learned what a foundation retention plate looks like and that it's there to ultimately pull the wall back. Brian and I had a few good laughs looking at some homes that were just not for me. He is very smart and has a great personality that makes him easy to work with. He is very professional with his work and would always have a bottle of water for me while we saw multiple houses. He would return calls and emails within a timely manner. I never felt like I was left in the dark about any issues at hand. I did buy a house finally and would work with him again on selling my house down the road.

We found Brian through a friend that had worked with him in finding her new home. We originally met with Brian to establish an asking price for our current home which we were selling on our own but needed a price point. We were so impressed we hired him to find our new home. You have many realtors to choose from, yes. But what makes Brian stand out is his background, his personality, his commitment, and the fact he makes you think you are his only client. We had many laughs working with Brian and he made the process very comfortable, fun, and enjoyable. He also has a construction engineering background which sets him above his peers. He would walk to the front door of the home to view and already have scanned the yard for drain problems, issues with the yard, exterior issues, many things we didn't notice at all. There was one home where we were only a bit through the house, he was in back yard. He came in and he said I think it's time to go. I can't let you buy this one as it has some strange things going on in the backyard. By looking at the backyard he just knew there were going to be issues and he didn't want to see us fall into a non solid purchase. It was a lake home that he had us walk away from. Could have been lots of dollars in his pocket but he looked out for us instead. When there was a question about structural changes to a home, he knew exactly what the answers were with his construction engineering background. So, we knew going into a home if something was doable or not and estimate of costs. I personally don't know much about the house purchasing process and Brian always was very professional even if giggling under his breath, at my very silly questions. I'm pretty sure I drove him crazy but it never showed. He gave me clear and simple answers to all of the madness. With his help we purchased an amazing home that is perfect for us. The house has so much character. Brian appreciates architecture, warmth, charm, and the character a wonderful home offers and he will help you see that if you normally wouldn't notice. During the negotiation portion of our adventure, he would advise us, but in the end he would do whatever we asked him to do. It was our money in the end and he knew that. He went over and above to close the deal on our home that he knew we wanted so badly. There was a point when us and the seller were at an impasse. The deal looked bleak after inspection as the seller wouldn't budge and it was a safety issue. All I will say is Brian stepped up and took action that I've never heard of a realtor doing before. He was so fun to work with and we miss him being around. He was like a part of our family day in and day out for a few months. Highly recommend and advise anyone that wants an educated professional to help them find their next home, call Brian! He will be our go to go in the future if we find ourselves needing his line of work again.

My wife and I had a great experience working with Brian in purchasing our home.He was extremely responsive to all of our questions through out the process. It didn't seem to matter on the day or time (including weekends).His background in construction allowed him to give us advice and provide options regarding potential renovations at every house we visited.He also provided us a lot of good information regarding various contacts during the buying process (lenders, inspectors, etc.) as well as for ongoing future home maintenance (lawn care, general contractors, etc.)We closed in almost exactly 2 months from the first time we spoke with Brian. Our process went very smoothly and much of that can be attributed to his advice and guidance from day 1.On a final note, aside from his professionalism and knowledge, he is personally just a pleasure to work with.

I was shopping for my first home and needed an agent I could trust. Brian came highly recommended from a friend and he definitely delivered. After a brief initial phone conversation Brian was able to setup a custom search that emailed me listings that fit the criteria I specified. When the home that I later ended up buying went on the market Brian was able to get a showing lined up right away. Once it came time to put in an offer Brian provided me with a full list of comps and, along with his guidance, we were able to get an offer accepted very quickly ahead of several other interested parties. Brian's extensive background in real estate and construction was very helpful when viewing different properties. Brian was there as an expert and consultant, not an agent telling me what I wanted to hear to make a sale. I ended up buying an old home in Fountain Square from the 1890's that had been renovated. The home inspection was very thorough and the resulting report was a bit overwhelming. Brian was able to pull out the critical findings and break down the report in a way that was easy to understand. Brian was then able to successfully negotiate all repairs to the home outlined in my inspection response.When all was said and done, Brian was there to help every step of the way. From the initial showing, to the closing table. He possesses a high level of integrity and wins over his clients very early on with his knowledge and expertise. I had worked with realtors in the past that were pushy, untrustworthy and prioritized the sale over my best interest. My experience with Brian was the complete opposite, which is why I made my first home purchase with him as my agent. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking to buy a home in the Indianapolis area.

Brian is incredibly easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the real estate industry. He is very focused on knowing the area in which he's doing business and he backs up his opinions with data, which I love. We were able to make very informed decisions with all of the data and expertise Brian provided. One thing that stood out to us about Brian was his extensive knowledge with regards to home building and construction. This helped us in a lot of areas which included getting the house ready before listing, post-inspection repair guidance, and with the construction of our new home. I would recommend Brian to anyone who is looking to sell, buy, or build a new home.

Brian is simply incredible. He's very professional, patient and thorough. He took the time to show us 10 houses before we finally decided on the perfect one. As first time home buyers, Brian walked us through every step and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to find their perfect home. Great guy, great realtor.

Brian has not only the technical skills for smooth transactions, but also offers a personalized plan to meet buyers and sellers needs. My husband and I used Brian when we were clueless buyers from Chicago, and as sellers in the Indianapolis area. His advice and expertise helped us negotiate a fair and timely offer during our purchase. When we were ready to sell, Brian took the time to make our house stand out among the rest. Because of his great attention to detail, timely responses, and personal touch, we had almost 15 showings in two days and accepted an offer in less than 48 hours. Brian took care of everything and we were able to close in thirty days--with an over asking price offer.

I can't say enough great things about Brian! He went above and beyond helping me find a house. I was looking for a fixer upper and he gave great insight on what I could do with a house. The first house I had an accepted offer on did not do well on the inspection and it fell through, but he was very good at protecting me and my earnest money. He was patient, worked very hard, even many weekends and evenings, and was always very aggressive on his negotiations. I finally found my house and he gave me great advice on getting contractors to look things over before we made an offer. I will recommend him to anyone looking for a hard-working, knowledgeable realtor!

Brian is honest, hardworking, and genuinely cares for his clients. He also has a construction background which was helpful during the buying process to help identify potential issues with a home or ones to avoid altogether. For various reasons, most of the real estate agents that Ive done business with over the years I would not use again. In fact, Brian and I are currently working on purchasing additional property together.

We had the privilege of working with Brian Black as our realtor. We were forced out of our mortgage free home of 23 years by the City of Westfield. The eminent domain case lasted 3 years. We were on a time crunch because the City had purchased our home and wanted us out! Brian showed us potential homes with so much knowledge of the areas and the construction of the homes themselves. Brian was ALWAYS available for showings and any questions we had. I learned very quickly that we could depend on him! After we found our new home a whole new set of events occurred. The sellers realtor ended up being VERY hard to deal with. Throughout this process the sellers realtor acted very inappropriate on many different levels. Brian was cool, collected, and professional dealing with this person. Brian corrected all of this persons mistakes and brought us into closing smooth and pain free. Brian also has recommended excellent help from roofing, flooring and everything in between. Brian still welcomes questions and help after we have closed! Brian paid money from his own pocket for unfair closing cost charges! You will never find a better realtor that has this much knowledge , compassion, professionalism and endurance. If you need a realtor please do not hesitate to go with Brian Black!

My fianc and I recently purchased a home through Brian and simply cannot say enough positive things regarding his professionalism and support throughout the process. When we learned that my fianc's job would be relocating us out of state to Indianapolis, we were worried since we knew very little about the area. Also, since both of us were still employed in Kentucky, this gave us very few opportunities to travel to Indianapolis to look at houses and a very short window to find something in time for the move. Our realtor, Brian Black, went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did he help us find the exact type of home that we were looking for but he worked with us around the clock. Phone calls were always returned within the hour, whether day or night. Trying to find a new home and working long distance with relocation companies, utility companies, home inspectors, etc. can be challenging and stressful, but Brian helped us through every step of the process. I can't imagine going through this transition without his help. Despite any other clients he may have been working with at the time, Brian always made us feel as if we were #1 and would stop what he was doing to listen to our questions and help us with whatever we needed. We would highly recommend Brian without reservation and cannot thank him enough for all of his help these past few months!
