Brian and his team helped us tremendously! They did everything possible to help us find our perfect home. We are first-time home buyers and didn't know anything about the area before moving in, but Brian's knowledge of the Norton Shores/Grand Haven/Muskegon area really helped us hone in on what we wanted. Brian isn't the type to just sell you a home, he will give you all the facts about what you want to know and will always have an honest and kind answer. His familiarity with the homes and the people also helped us understand what was available to us and really helped us find not just a good home, but a GREAT one. The team as a whole listened to us and made us feel heard throughout the entire process and we really appreciate how easy they made it! They honestly helped us from beginning to end - connecting us with great lenders, insurance providers, and contractors that all gave us great deals and were wonderful to work with. We would definitely recommend Brian and his team to everyone thinking about coming to our area!

Brian and his whole team were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. He spent time and real effort to understand our needs and matched us up to beautiful properties in a range of locations. He has a great eye, based on experience, for the key features of properties that would match our needs or affect future resale, and overall was super helpful in navigating the purchase process to a successful conclusion.

We have worked with Brian for many years on both the buyer and seller side, through three homes. We wouldn't go to anyone else in West Michigan. His level of care, unrelenting work ethic, and stellar team took great care of us in this unpredictable market. I couldn't ask for a better real estate agent.

Brian and his team did an amazing job at finding me a house. On my initial call they set-up a search plan for the area I wanted to live, within 12 hours I was going thru a house that had just been listed and I ended up purchasing it. Brian and his dedicated team make the house buying process as easy as possible and I couldn't be happier with their service.

Brian loves the lakeshore and knows the market incredibly well. Brian listened to my needs and was super responsive to our unique situation. Brian is patient when he needs to be, but can also be aggressive when the deal needs to get done. The secret sauce though is Brian’s team.

We’ve purchased two houses and just sold one with Brian and I’d 1000% recommend working with him and his team! They are incredible and so helpful in navigating an overwhelming and stressful journey by making it as painless as possible. Any questions we had were answered quickly and we always felt like we had his entire team fighting for us, because we did!
05/05/2023

Brian and his team did an amazing job for us. We knew heading into our buying journey that we were going to be up against a challenge with a housing inventory which was extremely limited, but they reassured us that when the right house came along they would help us make it happen- which they did! The team made the buying process stress free (even fun!). I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for their next home.
04/03/2023

Brian and his team are truly top notch. He has great insight into the area. I cannot recommend any higher. We are moving from out of state and he took extra time that others would not have to make it as easy as possible
03/05/2023

We would definately recommend Brian and his team. Brian negotiated the purchase of our new home contingent on the sale of the home we'd lived in for 22 years. He listed and sold our home between Christmas and New Years while we were out of town for the holidays. We had three showings and two offers before we even returned home. Brian's team is very professional and they communicate very well so you always know how things are going. They definately stay on top of things. It was a very smooth process for us and we would highly recommend them.
02/15/2023

Brian and his team are fantastic. This was our second time working with them, the process is always smooth! Our home was sold in only a couple days, and under our terms! We would recommend Brian to anyone in the area, he is honest and a great negotiator!

08/11/2024

If we could give more than 5 stars for working with Brian & the entire Klingel team on finding our dream home, we would! Brian's local knowledge & market acumen were key to helping us narrow down what we sought in our next home after years of searching & saving. Their communication from the beginning of the process was top tier — organized intake forms & educational materials, a face-to-face meeting to kick off our search, and clear, kind honesty as we toured potential listings helped us feel confident we'd find the right home for us with Klingel Homes. They were supportive and encouraging, guiding us through a 5-step buying process that felt digestible during the often stressful experience of homebuying. I can't recommend Brian Klingel enough when searching for your next home in the West Michigan Lakeshore area!
07/29/2024

Brian and his team were honestly miracle workers. We had been searching for homes and trying to navigate the whole process by ourselves for almost a year when we were matched with him on Zillow. He was always available for questions and communication was impeccable. We sent him the link for the home we liked and he got us a viewing just a few days later. We toured a few other houses that day and he answered all questions honestly. We really felt like he was invested in making sure we were happy and not taken advantage of, as we were obviously out of our depth. The whole team was kind, communicative, and helpful. Even now, three months later, we've received a gift from them in celebration of being in our new home. I'm so glad to have had such an amazing team of people working for us and will gladly recommend him to anyone.
04/25/2024

Brian and his team exceeded our expectations in every way. He has created a team surrounding him that are as talented and as dedicated as he. We highly recommend Brian and his team for a fun and efficient real estate experience. It is our pleasure to recommend Klingel Real Estate.
03/27/2024

Brian has done a wonderful job with us in finding a home on the west side. He was patient, informative, and very open about the area and his thoughts on homes in the market. Did I mention he was patient? We feel like we gained a friend in the process too. We highly recommend Brian and his whole team.
03/18/2024

The entire team at Klingel Homes made the sale of our home as easy as possible! It was incredible to have multiple points of contact within his team to facilitate assistance for any question we had through the process. Highly recommended for anyone moving to the Lakeshore!
01/15/2024

Brian and his team are great to work with when buying a new home. Brian was recommended to us by friends and he did not disappoint. We were out of state and he did virtual tours as well as in person tours for us. Brian is very knowledgeable about the area and the real estate market. His team is equally great and they work hard to help however they can. We have bought and sold 14 homes and Brian is truly one of the best agents we have had the pleasure of working with. We will definitely recommend Brian and his team to friends and family in the market.
12/13/2023

02/13/2023

I've bought 3 properties from Brian in the last 5 years, and I will tell you this man (and his team) are at the top of their game. They love this business, and it shows. Brian is extremely knowledgeable regarding lake front and surrounding real estate properties. If you're looking for the perfect 'next' home, Brian can find it among the listed properties, or one of the many unlisted homes that will soon be on the market from his vast network of clients over the past 22 years. Courteous and professional, Brian, and his team have always had time for my questions and comments. Their office staff are friendly and knowledgeable with a full line of financing and closing services. Thank you, Klingle Homes, for having my back and taking great care of me. We love our new waterfront (Marina Bay) condo - We love it, it's perfect. It has everything we need and a great view, and the best part is - it feels like home. Like the best childhood memory of a home - home. Thank you Klingle Homes.
07/02/2025

Brian and his team were outstanding. Extremely professional and very motivated to both sell our property and get the best price. They far outdid my experiences with other agencies. They truly believe that they need to earn their commissions with engagement and above average customer service.
05/14/2025

Brian and his team was incredibly helpful to me and my fiancé (first time home buyers). Definitely the best in the business and very knowledgeable in everything he does. It was an overall great experience for both of us and we would choose Brian over and over again! Could not recommend him more!
04/08/2025

Brian and his team did an incredible job from start to finish. On short notice, and while we were on vacation last year, we decided that we wanted to see a home that was for sale in the area we were visiting. Brian and his team reacted quickly to our inquiries, worked around our schedule, and were fully accommodating. They gave us a great feel for the area, going above and beyond in helping us make an informed decision. After a couple of return trips and home visits, we found (and just closed on) our 'forever home'. Brian and the team at Klingel Homes were in lockstep with us through the whole process. I'd highly recommend them.
03/12/2025

Brian was fantastic, he assisted my spouse and I while we were still out of state well before we were really on the market to purchase. He was incredible patient and kind to us while we were throwing complications his way left and right. I really appreciated his candidness and honesty about homes we were looking at. He'd give us feedback on homes from a home design/floor plan perspective based on our wants and needs. A few homes he recognized right away that what we wanted out of a home and what we planned for the future, would not be well supported from the places we looked at. This included the location for the area, the more specific location where the home is on the street, or just the age of the neighborhood.Brian wasn't just trying to sell me a house, he was a genuine ally looking out for my family and our future.
09/11/2024

Great service, great guy, great team. Helped us with a search that started out of state, and then finished the play on our local transactions this Summer. Definitely recommend whether you're buying or selling in the Grand Haven area!
08/02/2024

04/16/2024

Brian is amazing. His energy and happiness are contagious. He is about as genuine as they come. He did some serious negotiating on our behalf, that paid off with us getting the home we wanted. His staff is excellent as well. Communication was effortless through the whole process.
03/26/2024

I have both sold and bought houses with Brian and his team over the years and each time it is a very pleasant process. They take care of everything for me and make it a seamless process. They stayed on top of things and answered any questions I had quickly. Highly recommended!

01/15/2024

Brian worked really hard to sell our home. He did 32 personal, private showings, often on weekends, and sometimes on short notice. His staff are also very helpful and very professional. We were lucky to have all of them involved in presenting our home in the best possible way. They arranged for painting, video and photography, staging and presentation.Brian works very hard and really understands the business and the area well. I do not think we could have found a better agent.
10/30/2023

As a current buyer in the real estate market, I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Brian and his team! His specialized local tour took Mike and I on a journey through some of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the area, giving us a firsthand look at what each community had to offer.But what really made the difference for me was their full support team. From the very first phone call, I felt like they had my back. They were there to answer any questions I had, and when it came time to make an offer, they walked me through every step of the process. I felt confident and informed every step of the way, which made all the difference in the world. Big shout out to Hannah, Molly, Kristen, Julie, and Emily!And let's not forget about how fun the whole process was! We never thought we would use "fun" and "home-buying" in the same sentence, but this agency made it happen. They took the stress out of the equation, so we were able to enjoy the experience of finding our dream home.If you're in the market for a new home, I highly recommend giving this agency a call. They're knowledgeable supportive, and most importantly, they make the whole process easy and fun. You won't regret it!

Really great experience working w/ Brian and all his staff. We sold our home with him and it was a pretty seamless process--we had a few minor fixes to do before listing, but he has people that are available to do it and they got right in the next week and did the necessary fixes, and the cost for that just came out at closing--super painless and easy. He is really personable and a joy to work with!
