Ratings & Reviews

Adam H.

Highly Recommended! Worked tirelessly and found us our dream house! I would consider him not just our realtor, but a friend as well! Thank you!

Chris O'Brien was great to work with. He was very helpful in his suggestions to get our property sold. He was there every step of the way guiding us through offers, counter offers, types of loans, verbiage on the contract, inspections, etc. He was mindful of our wants and needs and the communication throughout was excellent. He kept us informed of showings, next steps, and progress for closing. Just an all-around excellent experience selling the house with Chris as our realtor!!

Chris went above and beyond as our Realtor. He was very involved from the first time he stepped through our door! He kept us updated, even when there wasn't much to communicate so I ALWAYS felt like we were top priority. He walked us through each step and made sure we understood. We weren't his only clients but he absolutely made us feel that way. I would recommend Chris to any buyer or seller!

Chris is an incredible agent, the kind you dream of having and I honestly don’t know how my experience could have been better. As a first time home buyer, working with my 2nd agent, it was really important to me that I felt understood and Chris was that person. He really listened to what I wanted and to my concerns about being a single female. After each property we considered or viewed, Chris took the time to discuss what I liked or didn’t like about the property, which led us to finding the perfect house that I now proudly call my own. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to purchase or sell property.

My husband and I met Chris by chance at an Open House and we are sure glad that we did. Chris listened to our needs and wants and the timeline that we had to work in. He showed us properties that met our criteria and within our price range.
Chris is very knowledgeable and professional….he was always answered our text quickly and was there with us through the entire process. So grateful we got to know him and work with him. We highly recommend Chris. The next time you need a Realtor, call Chris!

Chris was amazing in helping us to find our first house. He answered all of our questions and helped with any concerns we had. He was very professional through the entire process.

Tracy R.

When I started thinking about buying a home (have rented my whole life) I reached out to friends asking for a reputable and reliable realtor to help me through the process. Chris O’Brien came highly recommended. I am so glad I went with Chris! He walked me through every step of the process, explaining all and making sure I was getting the best home for the money.
And no matter what day it was, days or evenings, weekdays or weekends, if something came up I needed help with or just had a question, he was only a text or phone call away!
I had no idea what I was doing and Chris made the process as stress free and calm as he possibly could and for that I highly recommend him for all of your realtor needs!

Thanks to Chris for going that extra yard to get the closing done on my Mom and Dads house. Great communication with me and my brothers on letting us know what was going on during sale process. Definitely 5 stars

Debbie S.

I’ve known Chris for ove 20 years. When I was ready to sell my home he held my hand through the whole process. He always made me feel as if I was his only client. Kept me in the loop from day one.
If you want a trustworthy realtor he definitely is a top notch agent. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to anyone that needs to sell or buy a home. He will work tirelessly to make sure the process goes smooth.

Daniel F.

As a first time home buyer, I had only ever heard from others about how frustrating the home buying process is. Well I don’t know what those people are talking about, because Chris made things as easy and painless as possible. Throughout the entire process, I was so grateful for how much Chris was on top of things. Whether you are buying or selling, go with Chris. You’ll be so glad you did!

Kayla F.

I've known Chris for over a decade and once I started to see how many people in the past year he has helped to buy a house, I knew I wanted him as our realtor. We were first-time buyers who barely knew anything about the process but Chris explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and helped guide us the entire way. He kept a constant, open line of communication and made it clear that he was looking out for our best interests. Even when unexpected hiccups came up, he remained positive and reassured us when we worried. I've heard so many people say that the home-buying experience is one of the most stressful things they've done - and while there were some small waves, Chris kept everything smooth-sailing. I absolutely recommend choosing Chris as your realtor for your next home purchase or sale!
