Blake Shultz

We originally met Blake through a referral from my mother-in-law who worked in real estate her entire career but had retired. We originally were only in the exploratory phase of considering a new home back in 2024 but Blake was patient with us, and by 2025 we were closer to ready to buy. Blake helped us navigate what was a very tricky "seller's market" in the neighborhoods in Birmingham that we were interested in. We ended up in several bidding wars for houses that we ultimately lost but Blake was always there for us every step of the way and when we finally found the house we ended up buying, Blake was able to help make sure the offer was just right to win against multiple other offers. Likewise when we went to sell our existing home Blake's approach was extremely thorough and high-touch. He likes for a seller to have their own home inspection prior to listing the house, give them the opportunity to fix everything in advance, and greatly smooth the selling process once the home is listed. In our case we also wanted the home staged, which Blake was able to help arrange. By the time our listing went live, we had steady foot traffic and a full price, no contingency offer in less than 3 days! Even coming up with a strategy for how to price the house Blake pulled comps from around the area and also got feedback from other experienced realtors he trusted to help us price it right. Mission accomplished on all fronts! Blake is a great choice for buying and selling the biggest assets most people will ever own.

Blake is an outstanding agent in every respect. I reached out to him in late March to ask him about a property where he was listed as the seller’s agent, and I was so impressed with our conversations over text that I asked him to be my buyer’s agent. My wife and I live in Georgia, and we were looking for a secondary residence in Birmingham, so Blake did a significant amount of scouting and analyzing properties for us. For over three months, he called, sent videos, and answered countless questions via text; and he was always helpful, cheerful, and professional—even though we had several deals fall through. My words won’t adequately convey just how incredible Blake and his team are at helping buyers navigate the Birmingham real estate market. We ended up with the perfect downtown condo, and Blake’s skill in handling the negotiations ensured the deal happened. I give Blake and his team the highest recommendation possible.

Blake did an excellent job with closing this property and answered all of my questions and concerns promptly. I recommend him without any reservation!

Blake was amazing, a true professional and trusted advisor at every stage from pre-listing to after closing. He has done the work to make himself an expert in the profession as well as our specific area. We made key decisions throughout the process based on his guidance that served us well. He was very responsive and surrounds himself with a great team who know how to help clients get through each phase of the process. Blake also referred us to key professionals throughout the process who helped with staging, inspections, maintenance and all the sprucing our property needed to do well on the market. Thanks so much Blake and team! We hope we don’t have to move again for a while but would not hesitate to reach out to the Blake Shultz Team again and again! Also the gift he gave our family at closing was well curated and specific to our family in a way that felt really thoughtful and special.

Blake made the process of selling a challenging property while living out of state remarkably stress-free. He is personable and incredibly responsive. I would recommend him without hesitation.

My wife and I could not go to the same initial showing so he actually went once with each of us. After we had an offer accepted he helped coordinate times to get in the house and let us bring some contractors for a few projects we had in mind. This allowed us to hit the ground running when we closed with project work immediately.
