We were selling my mother's property which included the home at 3321 Calwagner and an apartment building in Oak Park. We had previously worked with Renee and would not consider working with anyone but her. She does her research, presents positively and clearly, which was key as there were four family members involved in these sales.

We simply couldn't imagine handling these sales with anyone but Renee O'Brien. We are incredibly happy with her work and the result.

From the very start of my association with Renee, she was a leader and a guide on the best way to approach advertising, buy offers, and the closing process for my home. I always felt like the sale of my home was her top priority.

Renee is an AWESOME realtor. She's an expert regarding the real estate market in the Gurnee, Illinois area, and especially knowledgeable about my neighborhood/subdivision (Cambridge at Heatherstone). I feel like I had an invested partner with the process of selling my home. Renee WORKED to insure that my house had foot traffic from buyers, as well as additional agent interest from other local agencies. She was always accessible and she had a great plan for follow up and weekly updates on activity around the sale of my home. I appreciated her candid and constructive feedback on what I could do to make my home more marketable. I especially liked that when Renee would recommend some improvement, she usually had a vendor or a contractor name to share that she was confident would be able to do the work in a timely manner, with quality, for a competitive price. I would HIGHLY recommend Renee O'Brien if you want to sell your home for the best price in the Gurnee/Wadsworth area!

Renee O'Brien is an expert real estate agent. She's a published author who knows the Lake County, Illinois real estate market. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to get the best price for their home in Lake County, IL.

Renee wasn't the first realtor who listed my home. My only wish was that I had done the research I did after my home was on the market for four months during prime selling time, without an real offers, BEFORE I listed my home the first time. When I contacted Renee listened to me, she guided me to make some easy changes and updates to my home so that it was the best buy in the market during the time she had the listing. Renee is great at what she does, and she's a super trusted advisor to have when you're selling your home!

Renee O’Brein was extremely helpful, organized and proactive in assisting with our home sale. Her hard work and exceptional knowledge of the area were key in selling our home quickly and care free. When we needed help finding local contractors to complete necessary work Renee lined up the right people to do the jobs. Renee and her assistant Jenna exceeded our expectations every step of the way.

I could go on and on about the positive experience selling and buying with with Rene O'Brien. I was never left in the dark and had weekly updates. If I left a message or sent an email I heard back within the hour. Rene told me from the very first appraisal what my house would sell for and that is exactly what happened. I had an offer on my house within 3 weeks.
When I found my new home Rene honestly worked magic for me and I got the house I wanted for much less than expected.
Rene and her team will go the extra mile for you every time. If you are ever looking to buy or sell you can stop your search here because she is the one to make it happen. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

Since it was my first time buying a house, I had a lot of anxiety. There were a million thoughts going through my head that lead to a million questions. Renee O'Brien answered all my questions (probably more than once) thoroughly and professionally with reassurance. She explained every detail and took the time to make sure that I understood how every part of buying a home worked. She understood my anxiety and shared her experiences that made me feel that she was with me in the process. I am not very good with words but I really appreciate Renee and what she has done for me. Thank you!

Everyone was excellent. No matter how many times I called Betty Baeza in the beginning of purchasing my home she never seem to be upset. Renee O'Brien I just want to thank you for showing me the townhouses from the very beginning and thank you for your follow up calls. All of you were kind and professional. It has been my pleasure to work with you all.

Renee got my property listed and sold extremely quickly! This was a rental property that was left in disrepair, and Renee even helped me find contractors to get the work done needed to sell the property. Once repaired, the listing photography of the property was beautiful. We had a full-priced offer the very next day after listing!

We were just starting our journey to find that perfect home when we met Renee O'Brien at one of her listings for a showing. We knew right away we wanted her to represent us in finding our forever home! Her professionalism, candor, and vast pool of knowledge about everything real estate could not have been better. She provided outstanding advice and recommendations and helped us with every facet of our home purchase. She wasn't concerned with getting us under some sort of contract or deal she was concerned with getting us the best home and learning about what we needed and wanted. She took care of us every step of the way and even helped me as a disabled veteran to secure the correct VA financing and was attentive to our specific needs as homebuyers. She has our strongest recommendation for a trustworthy and valuable real estate agent!

Recommended a person to bring in to stage house. The person did a great job and I think help get more traffic through house. The companies she brought in to handle the closing details did a very good job.

While I only interacted with Renee briefly and for one day of showings, I was very pleased with her service. Christina Feeney was the agent who showed us the property we ultimately purchased and I was very happy with her services and her aggressiveness in getting us the showing. Very friendly and knowledgeable and I would certainly work with her again in the future.

Renee came to the initial meeting very prepared; she had done sales comps in the area already and was eager to work with us. She made a lot of suggestions for things we needed to do to get the house sold, and the house was under contract within two days. She was persistent in getting things done and how to get the house sold!

Renee was awesome. She understood the urgency of the situation. She knew exactly what needed to happen and went straight to work. She explained what she was doing and why. She took my suggestion in consideration when responding to offers. I could not have ask for a more professional and knowledgeable person. Thanks again Renee.

You are just simple the best!

Rene went above and beyond for us. Extremely satisfied!! We had been with another broker for over a year and as soon as Rene took over we immediately started getting showings and much more action. She really took a personal approach and made us feel like we were her only clients.

Jenny Devaughn
Zion, IL - Apr 5, 2015

As first time home buyers we were unsure of what to expect. Renee Obrien was there to help and answer any questions we had. She was able to speak to each of the areas we were interested in and negotiated a great contract and terms when we found our home. She did a great job with us during the whole process and was always a phone call away when we needed her. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
