I have tried to sell my home two times with other realtors before I found Brian. The first two times were very discouraging and did not work out for me. When I decided to try a third time to sell the home, it took me a long time to get over the discouragement and I started to work with Brian. He was very professional from the start and answered every question I had throughout the process. At times when the process seemed to be taking forever, he kept telling me to have faith and it will happen. It was through his encouragement and confidence that I put my faith in him to get the job done and he did. He knew how badly I wanted this and really put knowing this before anything on his end. He did what he had to do to make the home sell. I appreciate everything he did for me to get my home finally sold and will be happy to tell others who are looking to sell or buy to contact him. They won't be sorry. Less

Brian was excellent to work with. He was able to lead us to the right house very quickly. He was able to help us process in very concrete ways why that house stood out above the rest and helped us see beyond initial cosmetics. He was also able to lead us to great people for the mortgage process, the inspection, and a general contractor. We are thrilled with our choice for so many different reasons. We had a fantastic experience and would recommend him to anyone!

If you are looking to buy or sell a home in West Michigan Brian is your one stop shop. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and professionalism was exemplary. He communicated any and all highlights and challenges along the way to ensure we understood the expectations and timelines. He gave us several recommendations for services and all exceeded our needs. I highly recommend Brian and will use him again when the time comes.

Brian was always available to us when we had questions, which was so helpful to a couple of new home-buyers. He even helped us negotiate a lot of extras into our purchase that normally would not have been included with the house, and had great connections that made the inspection and other transactions go smoothly. Thanks, Brian!! We love our new home!

Brian was great to work with. He listened to my needs and wants and provided me with several options very quickly. We found my house on the first day. Brian worked hard to submit my offer and handle interactions with the selling agent and the lender. Though the process was lengthy and not without rough spots, Brian was supportive, encouraging, and dedicated to doing everything necessary for the deal to close. It is now one week after closing, and Brian has emailed to ask how things are going. I will not hesitate to recommend Brian to friends, acquaintances, and even strangers. Less

As a young first-time home buyer, I was nervous about the whole process, extremely picky and indecisive. Brian kept me calm throughout the search and purchase. He was quick to respond to my ten million questions and always had my best interest in mind during the search. He was extremely patient and was always willing to work around my crazy schedule. When it came to negotiating, he absolutely got me the best deal. I ended up with a perfect home in a beautiful and safe neighborhood. He's extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic resource, I would recommend him to anyone planning to buy or sell a place in GR. Thanks Brian! Less

A few words to describe Brian: polite, professional, hardworking, patient and knowledgeable. Brian helped me buy my first home. And for nearly a year we looked at many homes and I turned down numerous listings he passed my way. I kept waiting for his patience to wear thin on me as I was(am) very picky in what I wanted. But, Brian just kept chugging along and say "we'll find the right house for you." And finally I think we did. And I got a great deal on a nice house (needs work but will be great when done.) I have to say after working with one realtor prior to Brian he did ten times the amount of work the other did. With him I did not feel like I was doing all the work. He was very prompt in responding to emails or voicemails and very thorough in researching any questions I may have had regarding a house. I was very happy working with him and would recommend him to any of my friends or family. Less

Brian, Was a consumate professional in all of his dealings with us. He was willing to spend the time needed to give us advice and help us prepare our home for sale. The opposing realtor was very difficult and not pleasant to deal but, Brian handled it with class and a level of dignity that in my opionion she did not deserve. I have and will continue to recommend him to my friends and associates who may need a realtor in the future. We have bought and sold four homes and his efforts were far superior to prior realtors we dealt with. We had never met him before but consider him a family freind. Less

After using 2 other agents in the GR area, the experience with Brian was above and beyond what was expected of a agent. Brian dedicate himself to my Fiance and I like we were his only clients. Brian always kept in contact as to new listings he found and what was going on after we put a offer on a property. Brian went well above what was required during the entire process, he even met us at 1130pm, 30 minutes from his home to have us sign a offer acceptance, so the closing could be set up asap (we were kind of under the gun to not pay extra rent on our Apt). I know we will be working with Brian in the future, and are willing to refer all our friends, family and any one we meet. Less

I used Brian as a Buyer's agent. I have had over 12 Real Estate transactions in my lifetime, and I can say with out question that Brian is by far the most professional, Real Estate Consultant that I have ever worked with. His attention to detail is great. Communication is fantastic. I have never had so much confidence in a transaction because Brian left nothing to chance. My best interest was Brian's main goal, he wanted me to be comfortable and satisfied in my purchase decision. That is exactly what I am. Extremely Satisfied and Pleased. As long as Brian chooses to work in the Real Estate Business, He is the only Consultant I will ever use. Less

My expericence with Mr. Bartholomew was a very pleasant one. Being a first time home buyer I didnt know what to expect but was very pleased with the whole process from start to finish. He is very knowledgable, attentive, and patient which is a plus in his field of work. I would highly recommend him to any of my family members, friends & co workers if they are ever interested in purchasing a home.

I took Brian under the old, stinky farm house that we were looking at. He never hesitated to crawl through the muddy, dark crawl space with me as we checked out the structural integrity of the house. The farther we crept into that crawl space the darker it got. I would not hesitate to use Brain on another purchase..

Brian sent me several listings to help narrow down my choices for a home. He responded to my phone calls and emails promptly. When we began the process of buying my home all I really had to do was show up when I needed to sign paperwork. He saved me nearly $5,000 in negotions, with the purchase price being under $70,000. He still calls me from time to time to see how I'm settling in. Great guy, I definitely recommend him.

I was trying to go it alone with sale of our home and purchase of our next. After fielidng zero offers over an eight month period, I decided to hire a realtor. Brian had our home sold in three weeks and helped us find our new home in the same period. Brian will tell you--it's not magic. He is just networked into the community in which he works. He works with other agents to understand when a new buyer is looking so they can be directed to your property (if a fit). I will never work without a realtor again, and Brian is our guy for life.

Brian has been a huge help and a key player in locating and negoitiating the purchase of my home in North Muskegon, and the sale of my condo in Grand Rapids. I had tried to sell my condo for over 2 years with 3 different realtors in Grand Rapids with ZERO luck. Brian was able to sell my condo in just a couple months - and for top dollar! I highly recommend Brian! If you are looking for someone with a Christian approach to realty, with morals as the foundation of their business, then Brian is your man! Less

Great Guy to work with. Knew the knowledge of the real estate market where I was located and found me a great home at a great price. Closing was very smooth. Very responsive, helpful and professional agent, will work with again.

Brian helped my wife and I find the perfect first home. He spent countless hours with us looking at locations, learning about our interests, and ultimately determining exactly what we needed in a home and location, as well as price. Brian delivered on everything. Not only did he help us buy our first home in the exact area we wanted to be, but his negotiation skills helped us in securing the deal of a lifetime for our first purchase. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Brian!
