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!

We engaged Michael during a difficult time for our family. We were in an unexpected position and needed to find a new home that could be multi-generational in a short time frame. Our listing time last fall was during a challenging time of year. Through his advice and guidance we withdrew the listing before the Holidays, with the plan to re-list it in February. Because of his knowledge of the market and the strong relationships he has with other Realtors, we were approached prior to re-listing with an interested buyer. We were able to sell without having to fully go back on the market which exceeded our expectations! We can't say enough great things about Michael's professionalism, care for his clients, and the trust we had with him every step of the way!!

Simply put, Michael is an exceptional agent. Our sale was a complicated one, with five owners and a 100-year-old property. Michael provided consultation, has excellent buyer and buyer's agent relationship skills, is a skilled negotiator, works well with title, and his office handled all paperwork perfectly and in a timely fashion. We closed an above asking price offer in two weeks, no mean feat given the current housing market. His communication whether by text, email or phone were above average. His personality, positive attitude and stamina were well appreciated. I will be using Michael's services again in the near future with the sale of another property.

I have known Michael for many years and have completed multiple transactions using him as my selling agent. I have always relied on his exceptional market knowledge, and years of experience to navigate me through everchanging, and complex market conditions. His personalized approach, outstanding communication skills, and the ability to negotiate the right deal for his clients, are the main reasons that I use him exclusively. Every transaction has been approached professionally with honestly, reliability and with his client's best interest in mind. I have referred Michaels services to multiple friends, and family, and they all have experienced the same five-star service.

I highly recommend Michael O'Brien and O'Brien Real Estate. Mike is extremely knowledgeable in all fields of real estate and did a great job keeping me up-to-date and informed all through the process. It was a tough sell, near the end of the Summer, things slowed down, and yet we sold in 9 days! Was very pleased with the process, with Mike and his team, and was very pleased with the outcome. More than asking price! Highly recommend.

I have know Michael O’Brien for over 25 years. I grew up in the Concord area and raised my family in Clayton. Michael sold 3 of my homes during this time until we became empty nesters and moved to another state. He also sold 3 homes for my in laws as well. So naturally when it came time to move my 83 year old Mother to an apartment and sell her home in Concord in which she resided for 45 years, the only person I would trust was Michael. His support staff is amazing and easy to work with as well. Michael really took the time to listen to my Mom, help her understand today's real estate market, with patience, compassion, and the “hand holding” needed for my Mom to understand the journey of the sale of her beloved home. Michael is very connected and knowledgeable of the area as he grew up in Concord himself. He donates and gives a lot of himself to serve the community. He is genuine, kind, and honest. He will always find the answer to your question. He has a “can do” attitude! Proceeds with positivity and advises only what he believes will be the best solution for his client. Micheal not only made the sale of my Mother’s home easy, but also enjoyable. His communication is key to the success of the transaction! Even when I was helping my Mom from another state, it was comforting to know that I left her in good hands! I would recommend choosing Michael to sell your home in ANY market! Trust me- you will be glad you did!

Got Michael's contact info from a neighbor when it was time to sell a home. Could not be more happy with the recommendation. Perfect process throughout. Michael would be the first person I would call for the next real estate dealing.

Mike was very knowledgeable & helpful in our home searching process. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking for a realtor.

I recently had to sell a property during this less than ideal market condition. His hands on approach was truly appreciated. Every time we encounter an issue he had a good plan of attack to rectify the situation. Michael was always keeping me up-to-date as each step of the process unfolded. I never had to wonder how thing were going. I would definitely use his company again.

It was a pleasure having Michael sell my mother's house. I always felt that his number one priority was doing what's best for his clients. I had full trust in his opinions & decisions. He was well prepared for any possible scenarios that came up. He is detail oriented, personable, experienced and trustworthy. I highly recommend him & his office. They were all fantastic.
