Michael O'Brien

Michael was absolutely wonderful to work with! He was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. This is the first time I purchased a mobile home, and he made everything feel simple and manageable, answered all my questions, and always went above and beyond to make sure I felt supported. I truly appreciate his hard work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a competent and awesome real estate agent!

Michael was an excellent communicator from start to finish, he got me in contact with his preferred handyman at the start of the sale and I was able to get the property ready for show within 2 months. He was incredibly responsive to all questions and swiftly found a buyer at our original posted price. Thank you Michael

Michael was nothing short of amazing as our realtor AND agent, acting more like family caring for a shared asset than a 'realtor'. He recently helped us sell the only home our family had known for 25 years. We had moved out of state three years prior and were renting the home to tenants. Michael represented both tenant-buyer and (Pughs) seller, a challenging task given the ethical responsibility of representing both parties fairly, maintaining each side's best interests at heart. His market knowledge was key in helping us reach a fair price acceptable to both. His knowledge and experience were extremely valuable in managing the transaction. He understood our home's value against comps and our estimated sell price with full-market exposure, while recognizing the convenience value of sale-to-tenant. Still, he negotiated respectfully for the buyers, agreeing with their identification of house-upgrade shortcomings that could keep the home from reaching open market value. We believe he negotiated a fair amount for both parties by weighing and equally presenting each side's objectives. Michael exceeded all expectations during inspection due diligence to ensure the house was in acceptable condition for the buyer, without over promising from us 3,000 miles away. He coordinated and attended all inspections, then hired and managed contractors, confirming work was completed satisfactorily and approved by the buyer. Projects included deck painting, a major garage drywall repair, window seal repair, touch-up painting, and roof eave repair, and he personally installed updated smoke alarms, sharing real-time progress updates and photos with both parties as needed. His communication was consistent and honest throughout. Both parties stayed aware of the other's objectives, moving reasonable repair requests forward, filtering out the unreasonable for our sake. Througout, his house knowledge every bit as valuable as his negotiation skills. Professionalism at the highest level.

Very knowledgeable and transparent and made himself completely available to us. I had so many questions and I can’t believe how much time he was willing to spend explaining everything. Thanks, Michael!

Working with Mike O’Brien was one of the best decisions I made during the home-buying process. From day one, it was clear that Mike genuinely cares about doing the right thing and truly representing his clients — not just closing a deal. Mike was honest, detail-oriented, and relentlessly attentive throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand what I needed, communicated clearly at every step, and never once pushed me in a direction that didn’t feel right. His integrity stood out immediately — he advocates for his clients as if it were his own money, his own home, and his own future on the line. What separates Mike from other realtors is that he leads with values. He doesn’t cut corners, he doesn’t play games, and he doesn’t disappear when things get complicated. He shows up, he protects his clients, and he makes sure everything is done the right way. If you’re buying a home and you don’t use O’Brien Real Estate, you’re making a mistake. Mike O’Brien is the kind of realtor you want in your corner — knowledgeable, trustworthy, and fully committed to his clients from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Michael was a great help during our first experience buying a home. He was responsive and guided us through the whole process. 10/10!
