Excellent Service

Excellent Service

Michael is an excellent advisor and facilitator in selling property. Our property was on the market for one week and it was sold immediately. Michael O'Brien reviewed all homes for sale in the area and based the selling price on the value of other homes and was able to sell our home for over the market value and asking price. Michael is a great negotiator and worked very well with the buyers agent. He's professional and does his job with pride. He assured us that we were is good hands and he was right. Thank you Michael O'Brien for the excellent service. We appreciate you!

Making home ownership simple

Making home ownership simple

I recently used Michael to purchase a house in Livermore. I was nervous about the whole process and Michael eased my mind, answered questions about market updates, how offers on a house worked and even the loan process. Michael also made me feel like he had my best interest at heart throughout the whole process. While homes were going 50-100k over asking price, we were able to get the perfect home for my family and I, under the price for comparable homes in the area, it was even UNDER asking price! I highly recommend Michael to anyone that wants the best realtor in the Bay Area.

He got the impossible DONE!!

He got the impossible DONE!!

Michael was great! He was able to take on an extremely difficult transaction timeline. Under extreme pressure from both sides he was able to close ON TIME! Buyer had to come up $75k. House had to go on the market in 7 days. Had to have a viable offer immediately. I'm so thankful & appreciative to have found Michael. I don't think we would be in our forever home without all of his efforts. I know Oakland isn't in his backyard. Even with that distance and a different market/clientele he delivered results! Thank You Michael!!!!!

want to sell or buy a home in Concord area Michael is your agent !!!!

I had my home up for sale with a lady friend real estate broker for decades in Concord Dana Estate area started in May with understanding it would be on the market by about mid June, almost 2 months later it still was not. Than Michael stepped in and WOW he made things going, hard work, professional and the best !!!! within 3 weeks it was listed and open house etc. Such a pleasure to work with him and his staff, they go the extra mile to make things happening eventhough i was out of country most of the time. I am proud to be his friend as well. Most important HE MADE THE SALE!!!!

Superior customer service and superb market knowledge

Superior customer service and superb market knowledge

Michael O'Brien was exceptional throughout our entire home selling process. From the detailed research and analysis he conducted prior to the listing, to the excellent communication he delivered during the transaction, with the timely correspondence and follow up he provided - he was a true professional. If you are moving to or within Contra Costa County or the greater the Bay Area--there is only one realtor to use--and that is Michael O'Brien. He pretty much became part of our extended family as a result of our selling process. We will never use another realtor and neither should you. His greatest attribute, "he listens" and then asks thought provoking questions which insures that you are able to make informed decisions and get what you really want.

He has the knowledge, experience and communication skills to explain to anyone what needs to take place to maximize what you get for your home. He is a man of high integrity and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home.
