With the help of Renee O'Brien, I was able to get a buyer for my house in 10 days, and sold within 1 month, communication was excellent, and she did a great job of guiding me through the whole process of negotiating and finalizing the sale of my home!

Renee has been a God send in helping us through what can be an arduous process. She also helped enormously by using her extensive network of contacts for the various aspects of the home buying process. I don't know if we could reached the finish line without her! I would highly recommend Renee to any and all looking to buy or sell their home.

I thought Renee O'Brien and her team did a great job in handling the sale of our house. We were referred by a family friend in the realty industry who stated there was a lot of good data that suggested her team was the best in the area.

We met Renee O'Brien of Keller Williams North Shore West via UpNest - linked from Realtor.com, she was one of 5 realtors that provided a proposal on our property. We interviewed several in our selection process. Renee's understanding of current market conditions was critical in our decision to work with her. She suggested we look at how homes were being marketed on-line by other realtors (checked out the competition), she said "they fall in love with the house on-line and then confirm in person." She nailed it! We followed her suggestions and with the help of her excellent photographer, our home looked beautiful and stood out... We set 4 goals in the sale, above list offer, top of the market price, sell before school year started and clean offer. Renee delivered on all our goals - sold on the first showing!

I can't thank Renee enough for her game plan to sell our home... She knows how to market a property! Her book and notebook were helpful and most importantly our walk through with her when we determined what need to be painted, repaired and cleaned up. Working together we were able to showcase our property to stand out in the marketplace and get that offer in the first day of showings...

Would work with Renee again - no question... She rocks!

After our initial phone interview followed by an in person meeting, at our home, we knew we wanted Renee to represent the sale of our home

Marketing was spot on, virtual staging and photography was excellent. We did recommended improvements. Home sold after first showing at first open house for above list. It doesnt get any better.

Renee is direct and easy to work with. Her recommendations got us the maximum dollars for our home. Entire process was smooth. Would gladly recommend her to friends and family.

Renee was awesome from our first meeting all the way through the last line signing at closing. Renee was always just a call or text away and with her knowledge there were no questions or concerns that weren’t answered or handled. Great communication!!! I would definitely recommend Renee for any buying or selling needs!!!!

I worked with Renee in the past. She was great to work with, she knew my house and neighborhood well and was my first choice.

The communication was timely and the transition between Renee and staff was often seamless.

The weekly update meetings were great, especially since my house took a little longer to sell than I expected. Renee also responded timely to all messages and made a very stressful time less stressful for me. I greatly appreciate all her work!
