I was watching "Don't Forget The Lyrics" on FOX a few seasons ago, passively, when I heard a country accent say, "I was the Tomato Queen." I perked up immediately to see one of our former "Queens" of the East Nashville festival was on one of my favorite game shows and was part of my favorite event of the year in Nashville, the Tomato Arts Festival.
If you don't know what the festival is, well, you have to visit just to really get the full effect. Tons of funky local art, tons of music, lots of kids, crazy amounts of characters and costumes all held in Five Points starting at The Garage Majal and stretching east on Woodland past I Dream of Weinee and Rumors 2.
This year's extravaganza is guaranteed to be the biggest and best yet. I'll be helping celebrate the official fruit of Tennessee on Saturday, August 9. Check out more information at the official website.

Brian likes to use the word "approachable" when describing his business. He always wants to be someone everyone is comfortable with and every place he shows or markets should feel like home.
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.

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.

""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!""
Chad & Ashley Lykins
""Brian is a skillful marketing genius. Attention to detail, passion for doing what's right, and his network of agents are just a few skills that make Brian Copeland stand out as a realtor.""
Van Christian, Developer
""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
Brian began as my REALTOR but has turned into one of the people I trust the most in life. I've bought two houses with him in the past year, and I'm only 22. I know that my advising is in the best hands thanks to the trust Brian instills in all of his clients. What started as a business relationship has turned into one of the most important friendships in my life. --Brian O'Connor, Nashville
Brian handles all my real estate investments. My first business with him was a 1031 exchange. He identified amazing properties that have lead to some nice appreciation..all in two years! --Rev. Greg Bullard, Nashville
I have worked with Brian as a both a buyer and a seller, and there's a reason he's gotten my business on both sides of a real estate deal: he is a total pro. He knows the market, and does what it takes to get the job done and make the cleint happy. --Tammy Jacobs, Nashville
Brian is a true professional, and its obvious that he loves his job. He is very detail orientated and makes sure his clients understand every aspect of a real estate transaction. I truly look up to Brian as a colleague and a friend. --Kim Hessel, Nashville
Brian is great. He works harder than anyone I have ever seen because what matters more to him than anything else is his customer's happiness and satisfaction. He is also very well educated, incredibly up to date, and on top of all that, he is pleasant to work with and fun to be around. --Dee Davis, Nashville
If I weren't in real estate Brian Copeland would be my agent! Brian is the type of Realtor that is all about personal relationships. Whether its a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor they both get million dollar service in a style thats formatted to their level of real estate experience. Brian is on the cutting edge with marketing and when I need to give my marketing that extra "something" Brian is the only person I trust to take one look and know exactly what is missing! Brian has a lot of credentials, but what makes him special and successful are his ethics and his love for helping people - not selling houses. --Gina Harvey, Chapmansboro
"Brian is not only one of the sweetest and most thoughtful people I know, he's also one of the most innovative and hard working Realtors in the business. Congrats Brian on all your success - no one deserves it more. I always look forward to working and visiting with you." --Stephanie Lawrence-Crawford, Nashville
