All parties in need of legal, accounting, tax, or real estate advice are urged to direct same to a specific licensed professional of their choice for review of all details.
Creating comfort and building relationships have been Brian Copeland’s forte throughout his diverse career. Brian jokes that he’s done everything from being a mall Easter bunny to running a successful music publishing company. Brian holds a master’s degree from UT, Knoxville in communications management and was chosen as Greater Nashville Association of REALTOR’s Rookie of the Year, selling more homes than any other like-agent in the metropolitan area. In 2007, he was selected by Real Estate Magazine as one of the nation’s Top 50 REALTORS on the Rise. He is a gold and platinum award winning agent. In the challenging 2008 market when most agents' business is down 5 to 50%, Brian business is up 58% from 2007.
Brian has appeared on multiple episodes of reality realty TV shows on HGTV and The Learning Channel, including "Flip That House," "House Hunters," and "Goodbuy/Badbuy" (which begins airing in 2009). He prides himself on his 18 hour average from the time he starts looking with a buyer to placing the contract on the perfect home. His home sellers are getting 98% of their list price with an average of 42 days on the market. Brian is also a 1031 exchange experienced agent for the tax savvy investor. Brian is a Certified Residential Specialist (the pseudo PhD of real estate with only 4% of all REALTORs holding the designation) and serves as the Middle Tennessee district rep. He is also known for his creative home listing marketing strategies. Brian is the creator of Real2Reel, an innovative way to tour and sell a home. He recently unveiled his latest marketing tool with BCTV. Brian has received national awards for his real estate marketing innovations and has been featured in Residential Specialist Magazine, REALTOR Magazine, Real Estate Magazine and Homes.com.
In his spare time, he enjoys graphic design, videography, technology, technology instruction and spending time with his family of animals.. three Maine Coons, on Chihuahua, two Banty chickens, two miniature goats and two bunnies.

"“Because of a ton of time pressures, I arrived in Nashville with a soft goal of finding a great place to live in 48 hours. Now, I wouldn't ever recommend this approach, but I would recommend Brian without a moment's pause. He is the reason that I now live in one of the coolest houses in the neighborhood that is exactly what I wanted. Brian is nothing short of amazing! If you'd like to talk or get personal confirmation, please feel free to email me at brian_haile@yahoo.com.”"

"“For anyone searching for a home in Nashville, TN or the surrounding area there is honestly no single individual that is better at his or her job than Brian. We had tried four realtors before we found Brian and he is by far the most professional, personable, and enjoyable individual. We felt that he spent the time upfront to listen to what we were looking for in a neighborhood, house, and price range and then went above and beyond to help us find our place in record time. In fact, we recommended him to several friends and I believe for one of them, Brian helped her find and close on a house in 8 days...He is wonderful!”"

"“Brian was great to work with for my 1031 exchanges, and he is the most knowledgable agent that I have found in Nashville for the communities in which I live and work. He understands cutting edge marketing and is excellent at it.”"
Greg Bullard Tue Apr 1
"“I am so happy I went with Brian in selling my house. He came in, told me what needed to be done, I did it. Then I left it up to him. Within four days of showing I had two offers. And closed within a month. Brian is the BEST!”"
Kim Armstrong Sat Mar 1
"“After explaining to Brian what I was looking for, he knew EXACTLY what to show me. I would have bought the first property we toured, but it was so hot that it contracted an hour before we arrived. I bought the second one we viewed...it was perfect! Because of Brian, the process was seamless. He's truly THE BEST!”"

Brian Copela…'s Questions (14)

I can only speak from my recent experience. Last month, I wrote a buyer's contract for a bank-owned property, they took 32 days to respond (Countrywide). Two weeks ago I wrote one with a local bank, they responded in two days. Last week I wrote two different buyer contracts with banks, one took one day to hear back and the other we are waiting on (we wrote it on Friday). Ultimately, I've seen them take anywhere from 1 to 32 days.
Patience and long suffering can be the order of the day. Hang in there, Shree! You're brilliant to buy now! - Sun Nov 23 2008, 19:42
The best way to find this information is to call the listing agent directly. This home is listed with a wonderful company here in Nashville called Zeitlin. The agents are Andrew Jackson (Ph: (615) 300-6932) CoList Agent Jeff Conyers (Ph: 615-481-1571).
I hope it works out for you!! - Sun Nov 23 2008, 19:36
According to your financial need on the home, any time can be a great time to sell. If you're wanting to sell in 2009, I'd recommend March, however don't be scared to put it IN the market any time. There is a difference in "IN" the market and "ON" the market however. We don't have a lot of snow here, so I'd put clearing snow low on the consideration list. A well positioned home on the market will sell regardless of time of the year. Last weekend, I did a special one hour special show for HGTV called "25 Tips for Homebuyers" and one of the tips was (and I'm cutting and copying this straight from the script):
"8. Winter is the best season to buy a house.
While there might be more inventory in the spring/summer, people are most motivated to sell their homes in the winter months, so it’s generally the time of year when you can get the best deals."
Don't be afraid...jump in there. Realize, however, in these times of high stock, not all of the top agents are accepting new listings...so ask around! - Sun Nov 23 2008, 19:29
You will need to check the terms of your contract and see what it allows. If you have your own buyer's agent, have them meet with their managing broker with the contract and advise you accordingly. If you did not have representation (or the seller's model home agent wrote the contract for you), you will need to have a contract attorney look over the terms and see what is allowed. If you need the name of a good real estate attorney, I'm sure several of us can steer you in the right direction. - Sun Nov 23 2008, 19:20
Latonya, A good first place to start is by searching the tax records in the city where the home is located. If you can't find an internet resource for the record, you can go to the county's courthouse and ask for the owner of record. Once you discover who that is, you can either search for them via google and find a phone number or send them a registered letter. Hope this gives you a start! - Sun Nov 23 2008, 19:15
