About Brian:


Thirty years of experience in real estate have confirmed Brian Schulman's long-held conviction that while the regulations for business in general and real estate in particular are constantly changing, certain basics never change:  fairness, honesty, full disclosure, and the need for each person to be heard and respected.

Brian's education includes a New York State Regents Scholarship and a Bachelor of Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology.  He has pursued further education on a continual basis, acquiring several professional designations along the way, including ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative), GRI (Graduate of the Realtor(R) Institute), and ePRO (Certified Internet Marketing Professional).

TexacoBrian's professional career started as a Marketing Engineer with Texaco, Inc.  He was promoted to Credit Manager of Western Pennsylvania, and for several years ran a $25 Million per month Division consisting of customers such as major steel producers, national trucking companies, and large road contractors.  Brian was chosen as a local spokesman in Texaco's Speakers Bureau, where he spoke about energy policy and answered questions at many clubs and schools.

Eventually, Brian's love of historic homes and South Central Pennsylvania's ambiance and history led him to take up residence in Lancaster County and start a new career restoring architecturally significant houses.  From that beginning, his real estate career developed.  Brian is well known for his knowledge of historic homes and American architectural styles, and for his advocacy of protecting and preserving them.

Brian has owned, managed and restored some twenty historic buildings in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, including homes in Lancaster, Marietta, Columbia, Elizabethtown and Mount Joy.  He saved two of them from condemnation and demolition: an eighteenth-century log and stone home in Marietta, PA, and the Linden House mansion, built in Marietta by lumber magnate Henry Castle in 1805 (see Brian's post of May 12, 2007 entitled "Historic Marietta").

One of Brian's guiding principles is that we are given two ears and only one mouth for a good reason: so we can listen twice as much as we speak!  Brian doesn't dispense one-size-fits-all "canned" solutions - he wants to hear what your individual situation and needs are.  Then he'll give information and options that fit your unique goals.

Brian has been a member of the Professional Standards Group, Dispute Resolution System of the Lancaster County Association of Realtors (LCAR), and an Alternate State Director, Pennsylvania Association of Realtors®.

Among Brian's wide-ranging personal passions are historic architecture and restoration, classic cars, antique toys, vintage musical instruments, cats, and humane society issues.  He is president of Caring Singles, Inc, a support group for single, separated, divorced and widowed persons.  He has been known, on occasion, to get out his guitar and regale his listeners with a respectable rendition of an old-time rock and roll song or a finger-picking blues tune!

Brian's team consists of a small group of experienced professionals dedicaticated to making your real estate experience a positive, successful and rewarding one.  The reputation Brian strives for is to be the best Realtor, working with the best clients, and always caring for his clients' needs.  Brian Schulman is committed to building strong, lasting and lifelong relationships, one person at a time.
