"Absolutely blown away by Brian's expertise! He made selling my unit a breeze (even though I know he… Read More put in tons of work behind the scenes). Here's the proof: it sold within days of listing, with multiple cash offers above asking price!

Plus, he has a fantastic eye for design and a great network of folks who can help stage a home for maximum impact.

"When it came to the idea of selling my home, the thought itself was a bit overwhelming. Many people… Read More sell houses but this wasn’t just a house it was my home.Quickly, my thoughts went to the person who introduced me to the home 12 years prior, Brian Spain. Brian during that 12 year period was more than simply a real estate agent or a real estate broker. He was a dedicated professional who provided viable information throughout that time. He was someone whom one can and should trust. My wife and I surely did, not once but twice.Brian developed a plan of action to sell our home as quickly as possible. He helped us to establish a price range and handled the process of selling our home from beginning to end. He is an effective and responsive listener. He was relentless and tireless in the efforts to sell our home. At times, he took on the task of being a motivator. Not a dreamer but a person who provided a realistic point of view for the sell of our home.Because of his skill level, our home sold and we were so pleased we recommended Brian to others in our neighborhood who were considering the sell of the homes as well. Brian Spain is a person you should consider if you are buying or selling a home." Read Less
"Simply put, Brian is an exceptional real estate professional. When we were being relocated to Orlan… Read Moredo from out of state, he provided us with valuable guidance on the Orlando market. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the different neighborhoods and how the city lays out. When we made a home finding trip to Florida, Brian was so generous with his time. He had multiple showing appointments set up and everything was super prepared and organized for us. When we found a home we wanted to make an offer on, Brian was absolutely on top of it. He went above and beyond to remotely tour us through the house, and got every one of our questions answered. Best of all, Brian's guidance during the negotiation and inspection processes was top-notch. We were thrilled to get the home we wanted!Two years later, when we needed to sell, there was no question we'd be hiring Brian again. He has the most excellent taste, and really guided us on how to prepare the house for the best and easiest sale. He helped us see who our home would most appeal to, and created a staging and sales strategy from that point of view. As usual, he went above and beyond with service and advice. His marketing materials are stunning, and his pricing strategy was spot on. Many similar properties in our neighborhood were sitting on the market for a year or more. As a result of Brian's experience, we had multiple offers after the first weekend of showings, and were under contract, above-asking, in the first week. We are so grateful to Brian and his team at Lakeside Realty. Buying and selling are always daunting, especially with relocation thrown into the mix (which he navigated flawlessly). We are certain we were in the best possible hands throughout our Orlando experience, and would highly recommend Brian to anyone in need of real estate services. Thank you Brian!" Read Less

Our search was further complicated because we then lived 3 1/2 hours away. Brian was so patient and listened so carefully that he never wasted our time with inappropriate properties.

"Brian helped us find a house in Orlando. We didn’t anticipate the difficulty of finding a house that… Read More was a good fit for us in a housing market with limited inventory. But the search was made significantly easier by Brian. First of all, Brian was very reliable and quick to set up viewings when we saw a listing that appeared promising. And we visited a fair number of properties to help us better understand the market and narrow down our search. Brian was always on time, and made himself available when we were, generally in the evenings and on weekends. I was impressed by Brian’s commitment, we even visited a property the day he had just moved himself, and he was visibly fatigued. Brian has a keen and discerning eye developed through years of experience in the business. He notices details that are not readily apparent to the untrained eye – a flower pot strategically placed to obscure an improperly installed power socket, or a beautifully renovated kitchen that is in fact impractical. We learned a great deal visiting properties with Brian, which was not only useful, but also fun. The closing went very smoothly and Brian helped steer us through the details of the process. All in all, we had a great experience working with Brian and we wholeheartedly recommend him!" Read Less
