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!
